Please note that techniques may vary across the range of financial markets, depending on the suitability or viability of each technique to the relevant market.
Buy & Sell Recommendations
Investors Intelligence analysts will make both "Buy" and "Sell" recommendations in their reports. These are based on our technical analysis methodology and identify areas where we believe that there is a good probability of a successful trade or investment. Please note that "Sell" recommendations can refer to both disposals and short-side trades and each report should be examined to determine the nature of the recommendation.
The time period of recommendations is variable and can be dictated by the markets. Where possible, our analysts will provide technically derived stop levels and targets. Recommendations are provided as a guide and should not viewed as personal investment advice. If you have any doubts as to the suitability of II's research for you, you should contact a suitably qualified investment advisor.
