REASONS and INFORMATION. I don`t always take the tips, but you give me the information that i sometimes struggle to find as to why certain things are or had happened.

For advice that I can trust and is therefore useful in making my investment decisions.

Fearless advice, tell it like it is, lots of ideas.

I have been a subscriber for several years. I was attracted to Marcus from the various articles he wrote in the newspaper. I like the direct and understandable content. I had been quite an active “trader” over a number of years with my SMSF. A couple of years ago I put my toe in the water with the MTSMA. I have since added to my positions. I had got to the point where I would closely manage my portfolio and then get busy or travel and not do anything for several weeks. Of course this led to me keeping holdings I should have got rid of and missing some opportunities. I have decided that I would try a few different “managers” and to take myself out of the investing game – leave it to the experts. I have invested in WAM and WGB (not good so far), Platinum Asia and Europe (also just treading water) and the MTSMA – a very good year. I have hybrids and probably too much in term deposits.
I read the MT newsletter on most days just for interest. So my next big decision is at renewal time for MT newsletter. I can follow movements in my MTSMA but I have no short term desire to recommence trading (and I am no good at it). So has the success of the MTSMA put my ongoing subscription at risk. Possibly.

Financial education, stock ideas, prompt financial news and some interesting “off topic” narrative

I was almost fully invested in the market in 2008. As a result, I took a bath. I want guidance to help prevent me making the same mistake again. You are my canary in the coal mine.

I like the daily commentary because it is both granular in the daily here and now, as well as grounded in a longer-term market narrative. Commentaries are insightful and authoritative within the constraints of a daily feed. Commentaries are also candid about the uncertainties, dilemmas and mind games associated with market assessments. I value the tools and resources, but I rely more on Stock Doctor for ongoing portfolio management tools…. Above all, I subscribe because of the simple and insightful connections drawn between daily market events and long-term emerging trends – enabling the reader to be challenged by the quick snap shots of future implications for companies/sectors/countries/portfolios.

I wanted a one stop shop with solid unbiased views on the market and the economy. By subscribing I have cut out a lot of noise which has given me clear focus. Marcus Today has all the tools I need such as the Stock Box, Portfolios, Database and the new Facebook group which is wonderful.

As a small business owner and share investor Marcus today gives me valuable information on individual shares and sectors. MT also provides a good summary of the macro picture of Australia and the world. It certainly helps guide my future investment decisions in many respects.

To receive information which is useful in managing our SMSF. This has included specific share info, general comments on what you think market is going to do, ‘heads up’ on different opportunities/dangers the market presents at various times. I also find the succinct daily reports interesting.
