MARKET BRIEFING
18
If I had known AMD’s 44% VQ back in 2015, I would have known to stay in the trade way longer than I did – and our back testing shows I’d be currently sitting on a
PORTER:
It makes perfect sense, Keith. But let’s just say at that time I didn’t have $22 million investing in computers. And I didn’t have the ability to perfect the system. And overall, the trailing stop loss system did work for us in these newsletters but it didn’t optimize results like you can do now. KEITH: I think that’s the most important part. PORTER: And I’d just like to take a moment to emphasize this for people at home... What Keith just showed us is so incredibly important. And it is why I absolutely love the work him and his team do. I’ve been investing for more than 30 years now... And there’s absolutely nothing worse than to know you picked the right stock and bought it at the right time, and then leave so much upside on the table because you haven’t optimized an exit strategy. And I get it... When a stock doubles or triples and then starts to give back some of those gains, all your emotions are going to tell you “Sell!” But our emotions are our biggest enemy as investors. We all sell our winners too soon and we all hold our losers too long. I think that is probably the most common mistake that individuals, that professionals, that investors at every level make. And it can cost people millions and millions and millions of dollars over a lifetime of investing. KEITH: Trust me, I understand. Consider my
near 1,300% gain, instead of the 3% loss I actually saw. These examples from our backtests are not typical. They are no guarantee for future results. AMY: Wow, that’s an extraordinary difference. PORTER: I love the idea of using math and history to help make investing decisions – taking emotion out of the equation. KEITH: That’s the moneymaking power of the VQ... It could help you stay in your winning trades... giving you the chance to lock in maximum gains – on each position you own. And then it helps you determine when to get out before any major losses. AMY: I feel like this is almost too good to be true, Keith. I feel like there must be a catch. KEITH: Well, Amy, it is just the result of applying math and basic investing principles into software that anyone can use to help time when they sell their stocks. The only real catch is that the VQ isn’t something that regular investors can calculate on their own. You see, the VQ was invented by a team of elite data scientists, mathematicians, and PhDs. And to determine the unique VQ for every single stock, ETF, or mutual fund on the market, they use very intricate math. Specifically, an algorithm that looks a little something like this:
Advanced Micro Devices trade... Remember, Advanced Micro Devices has fallen 25% or more 71 times since its IPO over 40 years ago. But as you can see, despite all those swings, it has stayed in a consistent, extreme uptrend.
Even if you knew HOW to do it, it would take a lot of time and probably cause a massive headache to figure it out.
