About Us

DS Market Research is the research and blog arm of Derastone LLC, a fee-based investment advisor based in New York City. Derastone manages portfolios uniquely designed for each client on a flat fee basis through the client’s own accounts at Scottrade; and provides financial planning to investors on an hourly fee basis.


The investment approach is based on value, asset allocation, expense control, risk management, customizing portfolios to each client's specific circumstances, and regular communication about strategy and absolute and benchmark performance.


Our website surfaces this thought process by constantly turning over the evidence, exploring the trends and surfacing the varied opinions which drive markets and government policy around the world. With an office in New York we produce weekly analysis of the global economy, as well as regular analysis and strategy outlooks each month. Our final goal is to help investors formulate the ideas and strategies they need to stay a step ahead of the pack.
