About TradeBasics.com
Dozens of web sites will tell you what the FTSE 100 is standing at, but if you don't understand what an index is or how it's composed, what's the point in knowing?
There are over 5,000 finance related sites in the UK but the majority of online investors still have nowhere to go to find either a context for what they are doing, or the educational tools required to exploit the trading and investment opportunities now available to them.
At tradebasics.com they put financial information into context. They provide investors with the know-how they need to make the most of other financial sites. They give the retail investor and trader, regardless of experience or wealth, the skills required to make informed investment decisions
Through their financial derivatives content tradebasics.com will also introduce more experienced investors to the intricacies of a product range almost wholly neglected by existing online services.
Content is provided by their team of experienced market practitioners, specialist finance writers and academics. It is dynamic, clear, and concise.
Tradebasics.com was set up in December 1999.
