Ian King’s Services

Strategic Fortunes:

Ian uses his exclusive four-step system for finding “tipping-point trends” — or massive developments that are set to trigger a technological revolution.

These are in large-cap tech stocks that are overlooked by Main Street and Wall Street alike. But with Ian’s proven four-step strategy, he finds those “needle in the haystack” stock plays that can deliver windfall profits in one swoop.

In this service, Ian is accompanied by Amber Lancaster, director of investment research. Together, they’re able to give you even deeper insights on the economy and the financial markets.

Strategic Fortunes subscription includes:

  • A focus on large-cap tech stocks and select cryptocurrencies.
  • A monthly newsletter that explores a specific tipping-point trend — and a new stock position Ian recommends investing in.
  • Up to 12 stock recommendations every year.

Next Wave Crypto Fortunes:

Ian helps you navigate the wondrous, and at times capricious, world of cryptocurrency. He pinpoints winning crypto trends with a unique three-part trading strategy. Along with his crypto service, Ian developed the first crypto-investing multimedia product of its kind for Investopedia Academy.
