About


The Investor’s Journal is a completely free website that offers realistic advice to succeed in the Stock Market. This site contains articles for novice to expert investors, as well as non-investors who are considering entering the investment world. You will not find any subscriptions or fees to use this site, nor will you find any ridiculous claims to teach you how to make large amounts of money with little effort and/or little money. This site teaches its readers how to rationally and successfully invest in the Stock Market. If you are looking for salvation from ignorant brokers, analysts, and self-proclaimed experts whose income comes not from their own investing success, but from their advising success, then you’ve come to the right place.

Why did you start this website?
I started this website because when I first started investing, I couldn’t find a single website that had free information regarding how to invest successfully. Sure, there were plenty of cookie-cutter articles about investing, but none that provided any in-depth information. My goal for this website is to actually teach you something, to let you learn from my mistakes, and to make you a rational and successful investor. Expect to see quality over quantity articles.

About me
Adam FreedmanMy name is  Adam Freedman, I’m a self-taught successful stock market investor. I began investing in 2005 when I opened an account with TD Ameritrade. I started out investing very small amounts of money in an attempt to get a feel for things. All the while, I began purchasing and reading every credible seeming book I could find that related to the stock market. My passion for investing and the stock market began to grow exponentially everyday. I started out investing in the well known stocks, but eventually was lured into trading penny stocks. I realize now the error of my ways (read my article on the dangers of penny stocks), but I don’t regret it. Trading penny stocks helped mold me into the disciplined investor I am today, so for that I thank the volatile and risky characteristics common in penny stocks.

After I stopped trading penny stocks, I moved toward investing in major market stocks. I’ve been very successful so far, especially for the year of 2007. I believe that I learn something new everyday, and that I have become quite knowledgable when it comes to money, investing, and the stock market.
