The cure for recession has been found!
March 31, 2008
According to major analysts and other market experts, we have already begun the recession period length of which no one can predict. Although, they could be wrong and the recession, if any, could be of short duration, the market surely continued to plunge strongly in the last quarter. The Dow Jones and S&P500 indexes fell about 10 percents and the NASDAQ fell more than 15 percents in the first quarter of 2008. Economic indicators seem to project a conflicting message as for the situation, suggesting that investors exercise caution in their 2008 investments. This is in spite of the fact that over the last couple of years earnings of many companies (those of the S&P 500) grew significantly due to an impressive GDP growth (compared to previous years).
As a result of these occurrences, the values of the portfolios of many investors have decreased dramatically. Even the most successful investors, such as Warren Buffet, Mohnish Pabrai, Martin Whitman, John Keeley, Joel Greenblatt, George Soros, Bill Miller, David Dreman (and the list goes on…), did not succeed in earning any money during this quarter; on the contrary, most of them actually lost substantial amounts of money which was invested in stocks, and not just stocks from financial and real estate companies, which hurt the most. Of course, most of these investors have a broader long term view of their investments and they do not really count the short term fluctuations of the market; however, a “six month fluctuation” on a downward slope, such as the market's recent drop, can obviously hurt your long term returns.
So, if value investors, contrarian investors, day-traders, and also technical analysis traders around the world have failed to gain positive returns during the market drop, who can? Well, TheTrader, iverson, BULLitPROFF, HKN, and chanon have proven they can can!
In case you did not connect the dots yet, all of these investors have something in common: they all played in the current Yalicoo
quarterly competition, which is about to end today. Of course, each one of them has his own strategy - some of them are investors and some are traders; some use value investing, some prefer the technical way, and others use a combination of the two methods. But all of them succeeded in gaining positive returns during this quarter. And we are not talking about a small 1-2 percent positive return; we are dealing with double digits returns here!
The master of returns is TheTrader, gaining a return of 48.79% during this quarter, yes- almost fifty percent. TheTrader is thus the leading candidate to win this incredible competition, which ends today. TheTrader is a well known player in
Yalicoo competitions, holding a long history of winnings in many previous competitions, from daily to quarterly ones. TheTrader took the lead right off the beginning of the competition, and managed to keep (and also increase) the gap between himself and all other players.
Viewing his moves during the
quarterly competition shows a systematic and profitable trading strategy. He bought (and sold) 971 stocks; 502 of them were sold for a positive gain of $144,841, compared to 469 stocks which were sold with a negative impact of $82,402. Subtracting the commissions, of these trades eventually yielded the final amazing 48% return that TheTrader currently has.
But, TheTrader is not alone in gaining amazing returns; iverson, BULLitPROFF, HKN, and chanon have also succeeded in gaining double digit returns, ranging from 12 to 31 percent. These kinds of returns, in such a short period of time, are amazing even in a bullish market, and they are phenomenal in a bearish market.
How you can also gain a double digit return
If we sum up everything that was just said, we think there could be a consistent method to beating the recession and gaining impressive positive returns. Since this is not the first time we have double digit returns from the leaders in a quarterly competition, we can assume that this method is great also for bullish market periods.
The method is very simple: Join the
quarterly competition and follow the leaders. Forget about the $2,500 cash prize awarded to the winner of the quarterly competition; this cash prize is nice to have, but think about the amazing returns that your real money portfolio could have gained over the last three months if you had chosen to follow these traders. For example, if your real life portfolio value was equal to $10,000 on New Years Eve 2008, and you would had followed TheTraders moves during this quarter, you would currently have approximately $15,000 – a 5 thousand dollars GAIN (In only three months..!)
The fact that we have five leaders with double digits, teaches us that it does not even matter which one of them we follow. It is possible that we will not know who will be the master of the next quarter; but, in the tough bearish market that we are currently experiencing, where even the experts lose money, does it really matter if you gain the 48 percent that TheTrader’s portfolio yielded or the 12 percent that chanon’s portfolio yielded?
No one knows what the market trend will be in the next quarter. But, considering the results of the last four quarters, no matter what the future yields, it seems like a sure thing that the leaders of the current Yalicoo quarterly competition will have positive returns!
The returns could be lower than this quarter's returns, but they will probably be positive. Thus, there is no doubt that you will read the same text again in the newsletter at the end of next June, just few days before the next quarterly competition ends.
The real question is whether you plan to read it again and smile, after you too have boosted your real money portfolio returns during the quarter…
The quarterly competition starts tomorrow. We want you to smile at the end of this competition; so choose to smile and expand your returns by following the leaders in the upcoming quarterly competition.
