I really enjoy being a member of InvestSmart, and as a member for some 5 years now I believe my subscription has paid for itself many times. The Portfolio tools are really useful and helpful, but what I love most is that I get good, solid information on a regular basis, and don't get hammered with hysterical marketing emails of the "don't miss this opportunity" or "get rich quick" variety. The tone of the communications actually strikes a great tone- generally concise, to the point and neither too complicated nor too patronizing. InvestSmart greatly assists me as an independent investor to make considered and timely decisions re where to invest my money.
