Stock Market Questions & Answers

What kind of experiences have you had with Kappa Trade?

Please provide details to the overall success or failure of the company with its stock selections, customer service, etc. ?

I have been with these guys since April this year and have had over 3/4 success, but when I ask other people, many say they haven't heard about them yet?

http://KappaTrade.com is their website. Please advise.

I would strongly recommend new investors and traders learn how to select stocks for themselves using Technical and Fundamental Analysis. These concepts can be quickly gleaned from books at the library. Then use Eye in the Sky Trade Planning to quickly hone in on the stock setups that match their unique trading style.

I think this sounds like self promotion. Nice.
