David Nassar is President of MarketWise University and a pioneer in electronic trading, having started one of the first day trading firms in the nation. Seen on national financial television shows and publications, David Nassar is a New York Times best-selling author who continues to write and teach from his daily trading experiences in the market.

The primary focus of MarketWatch Options Trader (found at MarketWatch.com) is to make money by anticipating and following trends, and then determining simple strategies of buying puts and calls. The newsletter also helps subscribers with more complex methods of engaging the options market, such as spread trades and hedging techniques. MarketWatch Options Trader is geared towards the trader who is looking to utilize and leverage options while maintaining an emphasis on risk.

The analysis behind MarketWatch Options Trader starts with scanning software called The Profiler, which uses proprietary algorithms to sort through thousands of stocks and sectors. David Nassar's "Foundational Analysis", which studies price, volume, time and velocity, is the logic that drives The Profiler in finding both bullish and bearish opportunities.

There are quite a variety of investment newsletter services available to investors today, which achieve a decent track record. In reality, however, many newsletters have not translated well for most investors that subscribe to them. The reason? Money management. Without the proper position sizing using the right money management tool, you are only dealing with half the formula for success.

Let's face it: if there was one consistently successful investment newsletter, then the word would spread rapidly, and that one investment newsletter would have more customers than the population of China. The reality is that there has never been such a success. Why? Because in the final analysis, 8 out of 10 investors fail due to one simple reason: position sizing.

The majority of investors who subscribe to investment newsletters think that the process is as simple as "Just give me your recommendations and let me become as successful as you are". Unfortunately, as money managers know, entry points account for very little in the overall success of a portfolio. Find out why!
