Neil George's Inner Circle (NeilsInnerCircle.com) is a limited-circulation, weekly e-mail advisory. It is for sophisticated and experienced investors who are willing to be a little more aggressive with their speculative capital in return for a lot more profits. Subscribers must have the following qualifications:

• Subscribers must have an existing secure, conservative portfolio. Neil George's Inner Circle is a speculative service for money over and beyond their nest egg.

• Subscribers must be experienced investors comfortable (or willing to become comfortable) with investments that aren't always listed on the NYSE.

• Subscribers must be willing to hear unbiased, unadulterated, no-holds-barred truth about what's really going on in the financial world and how they can profit from it.

In addition to the weekly e-mail, anywhere from two to four times a month (depending upon market conditions) subscribers receive a specific trade recommendation, including complete background rationale, and detailed instructions on how to execute the trade. Subsequent e-mails contain follow-up instructions on whether to continue to hold or sell.

By George! (NeilGeorge.com) is a free market intelligence newsletter. It is delivered by e-mail daily, in addition to 2-3 special contributor reports per month.

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!
