Investing

My project

My project is an attempt to select tools and structure information with the objective evaluating which instruments a retail investor can trade. Any investor will have his own skills and goals, hence have an original approach to the markets. Or decide to stay out.
I only want to sum up all tools I think of, which should lead to an un-biased decision.
For myself first.
I would be honoured if other people would find the reading of interest.

Follow me this way, Sir.
