Anyone used investtech.com for trading signals?

Hi,
I recently found [Borttagen länk] which has signals and advice for Sweden, US, … stocks markets. They give daily buy and sell signals and analysis for short medium and long terms investment and trading of different stocks and have 2 weeks free trials.
Just wondered if anyone using this site for short- and long-term trade and investing? How good and trusty the signals are and is there any better alternatives to them?

Edit från moderator: Tog länken i inlägget.

Yeah, trading signals doesnt work. There are millions of these services and they very often just copy each others signals. They underperform index in the long term partially because of trading fees and “service” fees.

Then how non-professional people get advised and do trading? there should be some trustful and reliable stock advisor and trading signal services? has anyone had to high extent positive results with any famous services?

What you are writing indicates that you should stay away from the stock market, for now.

Read everything you can from Eugene Fama’s research in the field, you can even watch a youtube video that summarize it.

When you have sobered up, start buying passive global indexfunds. In EU I recommend Länsförsäkringar Global Index, in the US I recommend Vanguard VTWAX, or similar.

Every attempt to time the market or to pick the right stock will fail miserably and you will learn the hard way, just do the easy, right way instead from the beginning.

I have not used their site on its own, but if i consider buying a share i will via di.se see what their analysis says of it, as part of my research. Also i read their three weekly picks in placera.se (the avanza webpaper.) I think their info in those places are good for decision support.
I use it for investing though, not trading.

Thanks for the advice.
do you have any link for Eugene Fama’s research regarding my issue?

Some to start:

The Prize in Economic Sciences 2013 - NobelPrize.org

Eugene F. Fama, Efficient Markets, and the Nobel Prize | Chicago Booth Review

Google and youtube are your friend! :slight_smile:

Thanks so much for the advice.
I couldnt find Vanguard VTWAX in Avanza. does it exist there?

No, since you are writing in English I gave an example to invest from the US, Avanza is not available for US citizens.

But if you have Avanza, I recommend Länsförsäkringar global index, It is all you need! Put everything in there, never sell, and see it grow. It is up 100% in the last 5 years and 300% in the last 10 years.

It invests in almost all large and highly valued companies in the world.

great great thanks for the big help

thanks for the advice, I couldnt find three weekly picks in placera.se. can you help me find it please.

just one more question, do you suggest put money in lansforsakringar-global-index in avanza via ISK konto or normal konto? for a frame of around 5-10 year investment.

ISK is much better for index funds that invest in stocks, like LF Global index, so go with an ISK.

This is last weeks. They publish them on tuesdays. Usually two buys and one sell.

thanks. I looked at their post. If you look at the diagram in their post, seems they exactly get it from investtech, the service I opened this topic for. :sweat_smile:

I have also found Vanguard S&P500 UCITS ETF in Avanza, which is based in Germany and EUR currency. How is this fund compared to Lansforsakringar global index? Is it good to also invest for long term in this fund in Avanza?

I would say no, just buy Länsförsäkringar Global index, nothing else, and never sell. Your interest in this will ruin you. The best thing you can do is buy and forget, and keep buying. Never changing strategy and never think about your strategy again.

The more changes you do, and the more you think about it, the less you will make.

but it is in SEK. considering Sek fluctuations in long term, isn’t it better to invest in Euro? or SEK is just fine?

Compared to what? :wink:

If you live in Sweden that fluctuation can work in your favour.

Yeah over time it does not matter. Sometimes you will make more and sometimes less. Do not overthink this and try to time the market with currencies.

I have invested money for a long time, and my biggest learning is that the more you think about it, the less you make.

Just buy LF global index and never sell, and never think about it again.
