Why Join INO Market Club? – Here’s Why

I am tired and frustrated by seeing individuals getting ripped off with all these get rich quick systems that look great on paper, but fail miserably in the real world.

Call it my personal crusade to help others become better investors and traders.

I have just finished a new video on the logic that I want to share with you to kick off this crusade.

Just checked my twitter account and it’s down. This time it appears Iranian Hackers have claimed responsibility and according to TechCrunch the site was defaced with the following message…

Stock Message Boards are the Best

stock-message-boards.com

I just wanted to take a moment to announce something I’ve been working diligently on over the last few weeks. Now that I think it’s ready for prime-time, let me say thanks to my regular visitors for supporting my efforts to do what I love to do. You’ve made StockChartGrabber.com a success and with your continued support, this new effort will be just as grand.

Oh yes, the new site… it’s called Stock-Message-Boards.com So why another stock message board site? Let me answer this way… Aside from the fact that stock message board sites seem to be an extremely popular hang-out for many traders, SMB is a natural addition to my stock market info-related efforts. I think it will be a nice fit over time. But I’ve also got a sort of complainy reason for doing this so here it is. I’ve found many of the boards I frequent are plain difficult to work with. For instance, on the google finance message board, If I feel like posting a comment nowadays there’s this labyrinth of clicks and tricks to navigate just to post a question. The entire operation should be taking a minute and a half, not five. So enough complaining from me…Not saying I’m giving up on it entirely, I’ve got pals on there. I just want to have an alternative…

So I built this stock message board with ease and speed in mind. I don’t have TONS of financial content, just the basics, news, charts quotes (real-time of course) and  it’s super-easy to post, which I like and I think you will like too. My favorite feature is that you will likely have already logged into one of the many social apps that we support. What’s that do for you? You won’t need to log in when you want to post a comment or question. If you use Facebook, twitter, open-id and a handful of other sites, you’ll already be ready to post as soon as you punch in your favorite stock ticker.

Even though getting a new message board under way will be a huge effort long-term, I think we can do it. So let’s get it started by visiting and post a comment or two while you’re there. We’ll see how it goes…

Streaming Seminar Breaks Down “Greeks”

Understanding Options Greeks

No matter what the investment, an investor needs to know and fully understand the potential risks of the investment prior to committing capital to that investment. In the options market, the Greeks define and quantify the risks of your position before you commit to the investment. Understanding the Greeks is a must for proper risk management. Further, the Greeks can also help you identify and select not only the proper strategy to fit the opportunity you selected, but also which specific options to use to create that specific strategy.

Today you need to watch this complimentary seminar covering the Greeks…

Without a full understanding of the risks of an investment, an investor should never commit hard earned money. If you do not know your Greeks, you have no business being in the options market!
