Just wanted to draw your attention to a new training course offered by the renowned Institute of Investing & financial trading. (a href='http://www.iift.ie' target='_blank'>IIFT). The institute was founded in Dublin, Ireland, in 2010 and has - with the help of successful traders and investors - developed different educational programmes based on set-ups and edges that are tried and tested. The IIFT teaches you how to execute these edges as well as developing a deep understanding of how the markets work and cover all aspects of investing and trading from risk management to psychology.

Their latest course is called the 'Advanced Stock Investing Course' and teaches participants the necessary skills to 'self-direct or manage their own funds with an advanced level of sophistication that should lead to market-beating performance on a consistent basis.'

The course focusses on time-tested models such as the Greenblatt Magic Formula, the Piotroski F-score, and others. To run the stock screens, they uses our very own ValueSignals stock screener. Here's what the course director had to say about our stock screener and scorecard:

An incredible value for what’s on offer. The screener is incredible, very flexible & easy to use. The ability to screen for opportunities globally is a huge bonus, especially combined with the educational content on the site. It’s really nice to see how some of my favourite metrics, such as Piotroski’s F-Score & Price/Book measures screen together. It truly is a wonderful educational resource. I would recommend this site to any investor or fund manager who wants to add an edge to their process. The Score Card feature is really cool, especially because they are very focused on the Financial Stability of the company in question. Also clearly, judging from the performance of the stock picks in the newsletter, these guys know what they are doing!

We're really excited about the fact that ValueSignals was selected for this course as it demonstrates again that our stock screener and scorecard really have matured and provide a robust toolset for investors looking to beat the market on a consistent basis. If you happen to live in the area of Dublin, we encourage you to check out the course and get listed! For more information, click here.
