Sector
concentration also offers the strategic investor two important opportunities
compared with the index fund approach; first the investor will be able to
minimize his/her exposure to the expensive and risky market sectors and, second,
it will be easier to build portfolios that compare favorably to the market
indexes in terms of industry/sector risk.
With the
advent of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), sector securities are a promising way of
diversifying one's portfolio to optimize the risk/reward trade-offs in any
market environment. All ten S&P sectors are covered in each monthly issue.
Both sector valuation and timing are important elements of our research in the Strategy
newsletter. Daily updates are sent by email. Annual cost is $300.
The
bi-weekly Selection letter is for the
investor who wishes he/she had more consistent and better valuation and timing
input covering over 200 of the world's most popular corporations. Each bi-weekly
issue of Selection discusses the
current market risk environment and our evaluation of the relative
attractiveness of the stocks in our universe. Daily updates are sent by email.
Annual cost is $600.
The
third letter in the E.I.G. series is the Short-Term
Trading System. It is specifically designed to appeal to those short-term
traders who are in need of a better way of initiating trades in specialized
index funds (e.g. the Rydex family of geared index funds), derivative
securities, or ETFs. This letter isn't for everyone; its focus is too short-term
for all but the most aggressive investors. For example, traders who would find
this letter applicable are not opposed to making several trades each month in
each of three markets: stocks (S&P 500), long bonds (30 yr U.S. Treasury),
and the XAU Gold/Silver Stock Index.
The STTS
letter offers a logical approach to tactical market timing in these three
markets. We are not technicians or forecasters! We aren't trying to figure out
when (or why) a market will turn up or down next. We measure the possibility of
near-term advance or decline using historical market information and probability
theory. For example, when the stock market has declined significantly enough
over a fixed period of time to reach a 2 standard deviation condition, we
suggest the most likely direction in the short-term to be up. It's not rocket
science; it's just logic and a whole lot of market history and analysis! Updates
are emailed every day.
If
you’re serious about making better portfolio decisions, we think you’ll find
our analysis is a most important addition to your market research.
