Mr. Wisemann is the original belt-and-and suspenders guy when it comes to investing. He looks for trades and strategies with reasonable returns and a very low possibility of losing money. He does his homework to make sure any risk he is taking is kept to a minimum.

Mr. Wisemann is a research junky who makes it his business to know as much as humanly possible about a company before jumping in and playing its stock. Picking the right stock to use is as important as choosing the correct strategy so he takes great care when selecting just the right way to maximize return and minimize risk.

Mr. Wisemann’s goal is to help investors discover how to use his strategies to invest smarter and grow their portfolios on their own terms no matter which way the market winds are blowing.

Peter is the lead analyst for the Investors Keyhole daily service, PriceWatch Alerts and NewsBites. Although several analysts contribute to these reports issued throughout the trading day, he is the last one to see them before they are let out of our office into the light of day.

Peter is a numbers man who focuses on the type of investments that minimize risk while maximizing returns. He always likes to stay ahead of the pack and he uses all the information resources available to him to make the best investment decisions possible.

Investors Keyhole, NewsBites, and PriceWatch Alert reports are short and to the point. Peter and his team also like to share their insights, tips, strategies, and thoughts on subjects that can help newer investors learn how to invest smarter.

Ms. Slater prides herself in being different. She is not afraid of taking risks in the market if the potential returns are high enough.

Her ideas on balanced risk shade more to the type of personality that drives a fast car, jumps out of an airplane, and swim with sharks while leaving the men to use the shark cage.

Ms. Slater believes risk is relative. With enough research, the right stocks, and the right tactics there are great sums of money to be won by someone who has the stomach for Risk with a capital “R”. But she is not talking about foolish risk.

Warren has been around Investors Observer since the early days. His fingerprints can be found on most services offered here and many started out as one of his special projects.

Mr. Stanley looks for below-the-radar news tidbits, company happenings, Wall Street whispers, economic trends and essential strategies others might miss. Then he digs in to find the whole story. And… When he’s done he will share his findings here.

One of Warren’s current interests involves strategies, tactics, and tricks of the trade for investors who don’t have a lot of cash to commit to the market. So expect these articles to especially help investors with $5,000 to $10,000 to invest. Many articles here will probably use ETFs and HOLDRs since these are a great low-cost way to play the market.

Fresh Brewed Media claims to be proud to host the Lee Allen Tribute Page. Usually a tribute page is only for dead people or really good baseball players. Lee is not dead and his wife swings a bat better than he can. Usually she is swinging the bat at Lee. Read one of his articles and see why.

Lee seldom writes what most people would consider “Politically Correct” but he always seems to get a different point of view across. Sometimes Lee even has something to say on personal finance and his refreshing perspectives are never tainted by the kind of tedious extensive research that can clutter up other articles.

That would explain why he bought housing before the 2004 rise and shorted sub-prime and big housing names before the 2007 fall . . . all while the "experts" suggested doing the opposite.
