I have mixed emotions about Investools. My upfront cost for their stocks course was $995, which in my world is a bit of money but not un-doable. For that, I get 6 months' use of their site and an on-line course and a 2-day seminar with printed materials.
I like the organization of the web-site, and it is both pretty simple to use and information-dense. I have only used free sites before, and so I don't know how their platform compares to other paid sites. I believe that their investment rules would offer a disciplined plan of trading.
I attended the class this month. What I didn't like was that the seminar, particularly the second day, was one harangue of hard selling tactics employed to get me to buy further courses from them, to the tune of almost $24,000. It didn't let up, and the information just wasn't there the 2nd day. I took the 2nd day book and went home early.
If you are just starting to think of investing, I would recommend that you go to your library and read what they have on stocks. Investigate what tools are on the web. Read a publication like Investors Business Daily and become familiar looking at charts. If you aren't willing to do this kind of work, Investools isn't going to help you. I do plan to use their web-site over the next 6 months to determine if it's $600/year pricetag is worth it for me.
