Weiss Research Inc., founded by Martin Weiss in 1971, provides the average investor and consumer unbiased, conflict-of-interest-free investing information through the publication of newsletters, premium services, special reports, books, and seminars.

As a teenager, Martin Weiss was the ghostwriter for his father, Irving Weiss' monthly newsletter, the Money & Credit Report. In college, Martin Weiss pursued a liberal arts degree. He chose anthropology for his Ph.D., which he completed at Columbia University, specializing in economics and Japan. While still pursuing his Ph.D., Weiss founded Martin D. Weiss Research, Inc. to analyze financial institutions for clients. He later moved the company from New York to Florida and renamed it Weiss Research, Inc. and published Safe Money Report in 1977. Martin Weiss remains the editor-in-chief of the newsletter.

Martin Weiss later expanded the Weiss Research suite of products to include e-mail/fax recommendation services for more speculative investors. These services provide frequent trading recommendations on a wide range of stocks, mutual funds, and options. In addition to Weiss Research, the Weiss Group also includes:

• Weiss Ratings (found at WeissRatings.com) is a source of financial safety ratings of banks, savings and loans, and insurance companies. WeissRatings.com receives no financial compensation from the companies it rates.

• Weiss Money Management (found at WeissMoneyManagement.com) is a registered investment advisory firm, dedicated to managing investments for individual and institutional investors who seek safety and performance. They offer individually managed accounts, mutual funds, and one-on-one advice.

• What, when, and how to buy.

• Updates on all recommendations, including when to take profits while protecting your principal.

• Ratings and advice on banking, insurance, and brokerage businesses.

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!
