FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sherman Research Launches Investing Research Platform for Everyday Investors, Built by a Company That Gives Away the Majority of Its Profits
Members get plain-English market research, education and risk-first tools, and back a Coeur d'Alene company that donates 51% of its net income to charities that advance the Gospel
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- Sherman Research has launched its membership platform for individual investors at getshermanresearch.com. The platform, which went live Oct. 1, helps everyday investors understand what the market is doing, learn how to manage risk and make more confident investment decisions. Since 1999, Sherman's research has been used by financial advisors. As of Jan. 31, 2026, more than 300 independent advisors, RIA firms and platform partners used it in their investment process. Now individual investors can use it directly.
Sherman also does something few companies do: it donates 51% of its net income to charities that advance the Gospel, a commitment that took effect in January 2026. That means members aren't just getting research. They're supporting a company whose purpose reaches beyond its bottom line.
“Stewardship isn't just something we teach our members. It's how we run our own company,” said Adam Weisner, President and CEO of Sherman Research. “We help people read the market and manage risk instead of chasing the next prediction. And we hold ourselves to the same standard: Sherman gives away 51% of its net income to advance the Gospel.”
Research that teaches, not tips
Most investors are surrounded by headlines driven by fear and greed, and by pundits who claim to know what comes next. Sherman takes the opposite approach: it describes the market instead of predicting it, and it explains its work in plain English so members build their own skills over time. Members get:
- Monthly Research Reports: one clear, data-driven report each month on the signals shaping markets and risk, with audio narration
- Market Gauge: a daily read of overall market conditions (Calm, Under strain or Stressed) based on trend, breadth, confidence and credit, with email alerts when the read changes
- Sector Compass: all 11 S&P 500 sectors ranked from leading to lagging, with email alerts
- Portfolio Analyzer: up to 5 portfolios of 30 holdings each
- Articles and Market Notes on trend, momentum, diversification and risk, with built-in definitions of investing terms
- Recession Indicator, included with annual memberships
Sherman's September 2026 report shows the approach in action. The S&P 500 slipped just 0.5% for the month, but the equal-weight S&P 500 fell 4.8%, and the share of S&P 500 stocks trading above their 200-day average dropped from 66.3% to 40.3%. The headline number looked calm. Underneath, most stocks were falling. Spotting that kind of gap is exactly what Sherman teaches its members to do.
Giving that starts at home
Close to home, Sherman supports Faith Walk Community Fitness Park in Coeur d'Alene, a free, faith-based community park that opened in May 2026. Sherman is also a sponsor of Champion's Cove, the park's new gathering hall, now being completed as part of the park's second phase.
Pricing and availability
The platform is available now at getshermanresearch.com. New members can try it free for 7 days with a card on file. After that, membership is $29 per month or $197 per year (about $16.42 per month). The annual plan also includes the Recession Indicator, which unlocks with the first annual payment.
