It's an incredible resource for anyone who wants to take good care of his or her hard-earned money. What Can MarketCoach Do for You? Most of us spend years learning how to make a living in our field. But then we invest our life's savings without ever learning about the different kinds of investments, or how those investments work. Think about how hard you work to earn your money. Isn't it worthwhile to spend some time learning how to invest it wisely and safely? Investing can be complicated, even intimidating. But the basics aren't hard to understand, and the consequences of financial ignorance can be huge. (Remember the Enron employees who lost their entire retirement accounts because they thought they could only buy Enron stock in their 401-k's!) Of course, many of us may be making smaller, less dramatic mistakes that still cost us money or expose us to unnecessary risk. These days, you can set up an Internet trading account with an online brokerage in five or ten minutes. But having the keys to the car doesn't mean you know how to drive it. Most online investors have large gaps in their knowledge of how the markets work. And unless you have $200K or more to invest, you probably don't have a personal stockbroker or financial advisor to guide you. What It Covers. MarketCoach covers the following subjects, for beginning investors: Investment Firms Do You Need a Broker? Types of Investment Firms DRIPs Markets and Investments Investment Vehicles History of the Stock Market Futures Research Investor Relations Departments Government Reports Investing and Your Kids Teaching Your Kids about Money Saving for College Investing and the Law Mediation and Arbitration Insider Trading 401-K Plans ...and the "Train Like a Broker" ® sections cover the following subjects, for more advanced investors: Test Your Invesment Savvy Equities Bonds Mutual Funds Options Trading Markets Margin Regulations Retirement Final Exam (see how much you've learned!) Who's MarketCoach For? The short answer is, anyone who cares about their money. MarketCoach would be a great gift for young people just entering the workforce, retired people managing their 401(k) or IRA, or anyone who has ever considered investing in a stock or mutual fund. If you are a parent thinking about saving for college, an amateur stock trader interested in getting into options, or just someone who believes your money should be working for you instead of languishing in a bank account, you might enjoy what MarketCoach has to offer. If you trade stocks on the Web without the benefit of a personal stockbroker or financial advisor, MarketCoach was written with you in mind. Actually, even if you do use a personal financial advisor, MarketCoach can make you a more educated consumer, so you can ask the right questions and understand the answers you receive. (Most of us don't fix our own cars, but it helps to know a little about how cars work so you can talk intelligently with your mechanic - and know when you're getting hustled!) If you're already a savvy investor and know the meaning of terms like "bear put spread" and "net asset value," you probably don't need MarketCoach, although you might find it useful for filling in a few gaps in your financial knowledge. And you might enjoy the innovative options and margin calculators. Credibility. Five years in development and written by a former manager of stock brokers at one of America's largest investment firms, who also used to be a floor trader in a major Chicago exchange, MarketCoach contains the same information that any stock broker must learn to receive a license. MarketCoach Investment Education Software LLC does not offer investment services or financial advice, so there's no "hidden agenda." The only goal of MarketCoach is to help you become a more knowledgeable investor. Why Not the Web? Why not just search the Web for investment information? After all, it's free! · The Web is a great resource, but you should understand that much of the Web-based financial information is presented by companies that are trying to sell you something. Their eventual intention is to move you towards the financial products or services they offer, or hook you into an expensive series of videos or other training materials. So, the information they present is likely to be slanted in a certain direction. · Depending on what sites you visit, some of the financial information on the Internet is just flat wrong! There are good and informative websites, to be sure; MarketCoach links to hundreds of them - but distinguishing them from the unreliable sites isn't always easy. · When you get investing information on the Web, most of the time you don't know who wrote it, or whether they are truly experts. The developer of MarketCoach worked as a high-stakes floor trader in Chicago and, later, as a manager of stockbrokers at Charles Schwab. · MarketCoach brings all the information you need into one convenient place. To get the equivalent information on the Web, you'd have to visit literally hundreds of websites. MarketCoach is a convenient one-stop shop for fundamental investing information. Plus, you don't have to deal with all those annoying online advertisements! Why Not a Book? Buying a good book (or two or three) by a reputable financial expert is a fine idea, and investment magazines can be valuable also. MarketCoach is different because it offers some special advantages over any book or magazine: · With MarketCoach, the markets are presented in an interesting way, with liberal use of graphics, charts, and interactive quizzes. For example, MarketCoach has an interactive "investment I.Q." test to help you identify knowledge gaps. · You can navigate the content in several different ways. A search feature helps you quickly zero in on keywords of interest to you. Or you can navigate topics by subject matter if you prefer. · A huge cross-referenced glossary is always at your fingertips. · MarketCoach contains hundreds of "hot links" to useful Websites where you can learn more. · MarketCoach's colorful screens bring the topics to life and present information in small, easily digestible chunks. · Interactive Flash calculators will help you understand options, option spreads, and margin requirements in ways that no book or magazine can. Course or Reference? Both! You can treat MarketCoach as a course of study, working your way through each topic as a separate lesson (we even provide self-test quizzes). Or you can treat it as a helpful reference, where you can dip in and out as needed. Will I Get Rich Quick? We'll be happy for you if you do, but that's not the focus of MarketCoach. MarketCoach is not a shortcut to riches, but an educational tool to help you build a long-term investment strategy. So you won't see MarketCoach commercials suggesting that you'll soon be traveling the Caribbean on your private yacht sipping tropical drinks with attractive celebrities. Buy a copy of MarketCoach if you think it's worth the price of a night at the movies to become a more educated investor. Installing MarketCoach. The MarketCoach CD runs on virtually any Windows PC. All you need is Windows 2000, XP, or Vista, and the free Flash plugin (which you probably have even if you don't know you have it). MarketCoach installs in about 5 minutes on most computers and occupies less than 100 megabytes. One or two quick settings in your browser, and you're ready to start becoming a more savvy investor. Quality. MarketCoach has been heavily beta-tested and the code debugged to work in today's most popular browsers. It's written in HTML, JavaScript, and ActionScript. During the past year of testing with Internet Explorer and Firefox, MarketCoach has not crashed or locked up once. In other words, it's rock solid software. It's also compliant with current software standards for maximum compatibility with Windows. (A Mac version is in the works.) All MarketCoach content was edited by a published commercial author with 18 books to his credit, including several books for the famous "Dummies" series. So you know the text will be clear and straightforward, and not riddled with a lot of incomprehensible jargon. What You Get. The MarketCoach CD, which contains the license agreement and installation instructions. (MarketCoach is a "green" company, so the documentation on how to use MarketCoach is in electronic form on the CD. Also, your CD will come in a biodegradable cardboard jacket instead of a jewel case.) Your payment entitles you to run MarketCoach on one main computer and one backup computer as long as you don't use the product on more than one computer at a time. You also get 30 days of tech support via e-mail. For a limited time, registered users will receive the 2009 annual content update at no charge. Guarantee. MarketCoach is probably worth at least ten times its price. But if you don't think MarketCoach is worth every penny of your $75, just contact support@marketcoach.com within 14 days, stating that you've removed the software from your PC. We'll send you an RMA number so you can return the product for a refund. Special Rates. MarketCoach is available at a special rate for high schools, colleges, and investment clubs.
