Portfolio Prophet is the answer to the flawed practice of "buy and hold"

Posted: Mar 11, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Anyone who has ever put their hard earned money into the market instead of a standard savings account knows how hard it can be to make that money "work".  There are limitations to how many times money can be moved around, limitations on the type of funds available, the wrong mix of stocks within the funds…the list goes on and on.  It's time to take back control of your money!

The problem that most investors face is that they put their financial future in the hands of an antiquated "buy and hold" system that was once relevant, but has recently proven to destroy retirement "nest eggs."  A "buy and hold" strategy is flawed on two levels; first, it states that it is impossible to time the market appropriately – this is FALSE.  Second, it tells us that the market will typically yield 6-7% growth on an annual basis – This is also FALSE as we have come to learn.

Look at this:   If an investor had bought in 1929 before the market crashed, it would have taken him/her 25 yrs to get back to break even using the "buy and hold" model.  Similarly, If they had invested in the NASDAQ in 2000, and were still holding onto it, they would still be down 40% from the high in 2000.  The troubling fact is that no one knows when the market will again reach those previous highs, so your money just sits, being tied up in an investment that you hope will appreciate enough to sell off eventually without a loss.

Who wants to sit through a "buy and hold" strategy when the market has that type of damaging impact – No one!The "buy and hold" method used in decades previous is no longer applicable because everything in the world moves at lightning speed, including market trends and market crashes.

The Portfolio Prophet is the answer to the flawed practice of "buy and hold" because it moves with the market and identifies those times when entry and exit should occur, thus placing the odds in your favor of earning higher returns and mitigating the potential for loss.

The Portfolio Prophet constantly searches for newly emerging trends in selected ETFs that are upwardly trending and are suitable for trading.  Engaging the trader in these emerging trends at the appropriate percentage based on investment objectives and quickly alerting them when the trend has expired and the time to exit has occurred.  Investment portfolios will no longer be exposed to market crashes because the software will alert the trader to exit the market, thus only incurring a small loss.

Think about it, leveraging this technology, an investor in 2008 would have avoided the crash entirely because the system would have alerted them and they would have been in cash.  Additionally, they would have been alerted to re-enter the market in 2009 after it had bottomed offering them the opportunity to ride the bear market rally.

Every day after the market closes, the software updates automatically, with the most recent ETF trading data from the day.  The algorithms are applied to that data and any new or existing position alerts are given.  Once alerts are generated all an investor has to do is to log into their brokerage account and place the appropriate trade.   In 60 seconds or less, an investor can have a tighter grip on their financial portfolio and more control of their financial future.

The Portfolio Prophet is like having an individual financial advisor watching over your investments and providing direction every day.  It monitors the market, advises on investment opportunities and most importantly it mitigates risk for the investor.

When asked about the best feature of the Portfolio Prophet, Bill Poulos, founder of Profits Run Inc had this to say, "The number one thing Portfolio Prophet offers is risk management.  If you're not managing your risk then you are just gambling.  That's one of the reasons I don't like "buy and hold", sure you're diversified, but when the market crashes it takes everything with it.  That's not managing risk.  That's why with Portfolio Prophet we strongly recommend that an investor never risks more than 2% of their portfolio on any given trade.  That way, if you have a losing trade right out of the shoot you can't lose more than 2% of your portfolio.  That's the responsible investing.  The other way that Portfolio Prophet tackles risk mitigation is by helping you stay out of markets that are not suitable for trading.  That way, you don't expose your capital to risk at all; Portfolio Prophet does a great job of monitoring and advising you of that."

An investor's financial future should not be defined by an outdated "buy and hold", chance based strategy.  The market is too volatile and can change direction at a moment's notice.  Too many people learned the hard way and "lost it all" when the market crashed in 2008 and they did so by not having the right strategy in place to get them out in time.  The next generation of marketplace "winners" will be those people that implement a new flexible investment strategy, take an active role in the management of their portfolios and are patient enough to enter only when the odds are in their favor – The Portfolio Prophet is the "edge" that those investors will utilize along the way.
