Strategic Investing
You've graduated from Investing 101, you've set up a plan in Taking Action, and now you're ready to start finding some investments of your own. What you need is a strategy — whether you're after stocks, mutual funds or bonds. We've got one for each asset class and tools to make the job easier.

Stock Picking

Finding stocks at a bargain is the essence of sound investing. But that doesn't mean settling for a bunch of beaten down "turnaround stories." This course will show you how to use financial ratios and fundamental data to search out value in markets good and bad.


Stock Screens

The computer can sift through a stock database bigger than a phone book in matter of seconds. Learn how our proprietary equity screens bring intelligence to the process. And while you're at it, download a spreadsheet of stocks that could be hot prospects for your portfolio.


Choosing Funds

There are more than 8,200 of them out there. And most can't beat the S&P 500 index with a stick. So what's the best way to find a mutual fund you can retire on? We'll show you what to look for and provide the research tools you need to make it happen.


Bond Investing

Bonds aren't sexy. But they're necessary to buffer the volatility in your stock portfolio. Our strategy will show you how to ladder Treasurys to the best effect. And, if you're up for it, we'll suggest ways to trade bonds for profit.
