Alpari Launches "Not Investment Advice" Investment Advice for Stocks

The Russia-based global broker, Alpari, announced today that it is now offering an "Investment Ideas" section on its website, advising clients how to make profitable investments. The ideas in the new section are based on investing in Alpari's Structured Products financial instruments.

Alpari says that this offering, coming from market experts, is aimed at anyone who wants to save time and get analysis of the current situation in the financial markets in order "to make a profitable investment." Reviewing the current investment ideas available right after the launch of the section, Alpari's experts seem to focus on the stocks of precious metal mining companies as well as the stocks of a few technology firms such as Russia's leading search engine, Yandex.

Investing in the suggested stocks and indices is offered via Alpari's structured products, and the firm also announced that its updated Structured Product Builder now enables more precise calculations and allows investors to choose the expiry date of the underlying asset based on market conditions.

Alpari makes sure to bring our attention to the fine print at the bottom of the page: "All investment ideas in no way represent or should be considered as investment advice or guidance," but the announcement states: "If you still haven't found an asset that is of interest to you, send us an email and we'll do all the analysis for you!" This sounds awfully like guidance.
