Press and Testmonials

As a professional portfolio manager I have found that the problem many people have when it comes to managing their own investments is not a lack of intellect, but rather a lack of discipline. It appears that your service recognized that early on and has provided an easy to follow systematic approach. There is a significant amount of independent data that corroborates the efficacy of the MyPlanIQ concepts.

A Financial Advisor

I just want to thank you for your unique newsletters and for all of the archived data, which is not available elsewhere for litle guys, to my knowledge. Today’s newsletter is an example of how you help–you diagnosed the problem (in a portfolio I follow, as it happens) and figured out a solution. This is really wonderful. Please keep up the great work.

I wanted to say that I always look forward to your newsletters and always learn from them.  I have taken many money-making bits of advice from them, and always refer to them when I am on the verge of getting “exhuberant.”  You have always cautioned rationality and caution, and I think those attributes for an investor are key.  Markets are emotional and often irrational.  I know of no service that advises people to keep their shirt on — everyone is out there selling something.
