The Intelligent Trader

 

IF YOU'RE ONLY MAKING MONEY

WHEN THE MARKET GOES UP,

YOU NEED TO READ THIS ....

 

Fellow Profit-Hungry Investor:

Making money in the stock market is extremely hard and most investors fail to achieve the performance results they desire. Investors love to chase past performance and they do so without thinking about what can really happen to their portfolio.

 

The biggest reason people under perform the market is because

they do not have a system or process that protects them from themselves.

 

For more than 25 years, I was a successful trader, stockbroker, and investment advisor. Today, I’m semi-retired and pretty much do as I please managing my own money and the equity portfolios for just a handful of investors. I also spend a fair amount of time writing and speaking to audiences about my experience.

 

You Must Have a Process

 

What set me apart from other portfolio managers in the industry was the strict set of trading rules that I developed. This simple process has helped me outperform the market year in and year out AND I can do this regardless of the direction of the stock market, interest rates or the dollar.  This process, my 5-Step Investment Process, is the formula I use to manage my own account.

As an industry insider, I had the opportunity to study and experiment with every investment style imaginable. I was looking for a way to make money in every conceivable market environment.

 

I want to be able to make money in all types of market conditions regardless of the direction of the stock market, interest rates, currencies, gold, oil, and etc.

 

 

The Intelligent Trader is designed for investors who are looking for:

 

Absolute Return. In today's world, absolute returns make absolute sense. The Intelligent Trader’s portfolio is designed to provide you with "Absolute Return" versus "Relative Return".
 

Growth Oriented. Our portfolio can’t be pigeon holed as growth, value or a blend. I like to think of it as Growth with a Twist. To be successful, you need to have an edge and once you have once, you need to exploit it using stocks and/or exchange traded funds (ETFs).

 

Active Management. The investing landscape changed forever on September 11, 2001. The age of "buy and hold" is “dead and buried”. For many investors, Hope and Pray is their primary investment strategy. We don’t believe in that nonsense. We hold our positions for as long as the conditions warrant which is anywhere from a week to one year. We are not day-traders! Every one of our positions is managed according to our proprietary Five Step Investment Process
 

Multi-Directional. In keeping with our commitment to making money in any market condition, the portfolio can be either "long" or "short" up to 100% of assets. Today, "long only" is only half right.
 

Multi-Style. Experience is a great teacher and history has taught us that the market is too dynamic and diverse to be locked into any one corner or segment of the investment universe. So, instead of waiting for returns to come to us, we actively seek out the most favored markets, sectors and individual stocks or ETFs.

 

As a subscriber here’s what you can expect:

   

I. You get unfettered access to My Personal Long/Short Equity Portfolio. This IS NOT a “model” portfolio or a “sample list of stocks” – it’s my personal stock portfolio. 

 

These are trades that I AM DOING IN MY OWN ACCOUNT.

 

You get a front row seat to the good, the bad and the ugly.

 

II. Advance Notice Emails and Faxes – When it’s time to make a trade, I’ll send you an email (or fax) telling you what I am about to do. I do this BEFORE I make the trade in my own account.

 

III. “The Long and Short of It” – Each week, I’ll send you my e-letter that summarizes what’s going on in the stock market, what’s working, what’s not and why.

 

IV. The Intelligent Trader and Selling Stocks Short blogs. I write two different blogs. The Intelligent Trader is about trading in general. It’s irreverent, opinionated and simply about what’s on my mind. The other, Selling Stocks Short, is more specific, deals with the art short-selling and making money when the market goes down. (Please note: Intelligent Trader recommendations are NOT discussed on the blogs)

 

Learn as You Go

 

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a sophisticated investor, an occasional trader or a novice just getting ready to make your first trade. In order to be successful, you need to master a process. By making trades along side me, I can help you become a better investor by teaching what I have learned over the past 2 ½ decades.

 

Investing isn’t easy. If it was, everyone would be successful. The market’s a tough place to make money and it’s getting tougher each and every day.

 

Look, I’m not going to insult your intelligence by guaranteeing you pie-in-the-sky profits like newsletters do. My track record speaks volumes. Nobody can predict what’s going to happen next. If they can, it’s just a lucky guess.

 

What I can guarantee you is this. The trades I make are real. They are done in a real portfolio. There will be gains and pains. The results are real. There’s no fluff. And if you absolutely want a guarantee, I’ll give you this …  

If at any time you decide that your subscription to The Intelligent Trader isn’t right for you, just let me know and I'll put a check in the mail to you for the cost of your subscription - no questions asked. 

 

Read the above paragraph again. There’s no one else giving you that kind offer.

 

The Bottom Line

 

The bottom line is this - By showing you how I invest and walking you through the whys and whatnots of what I am doing in my own account, you’ll learn that to be successful you need to have a process that gives you the opportunity to make money in all market environments regardless of the direction of the stock market, interest rates, or the dollar.

 

That’s about it.

 

Subscribing through PayPal is really easy. Just click on one of the two options below. Most people choose the quarterly option, but if you want to save a few dollars, why not opt for the annual rate? With the guarantee that I’ve outlined above, you don’t have anything to lose – now do you?
