OK, GIVE AN EXAMPLE…!
If you got here, to this last part, most likely you are looking for concrete examples, real facts that show that what you have previously read in “my story”, or “our service” has something behind, any concrete benefit applying directly to you.
Good if you are, and good if you thought that, even if that does not connect you to the goal of the platform (yet). Money is the means, never the objective you will pursue, even if you don’t think like that now.
If you took some time to go through “our service”, I am sure that, by now, you know that membership gives you access to three different tools or features:
A- Newsletters
B- Trading alerts + Guides
C- Full Portfolio Track
Find below concrete example of each:
A – An example of NEWSLETTERS
Alert to Members, Title: “Trust is the word”
Date: June 10th, 2018
Alert to Members, Title: “My own X-Ray of events happenning…”
Date: August 27th, 2018
Alert to Members, Title: “October waits…”
Date: Sept 24th, 2018
Why was I insisting so much in October, and in Q4 2018?
There were LOTS of reasons pointing to it, and most of those reasons were not even technical, or even economic/financial in nature. However, all of them were SIGNIFICANT reasons, to have financial implications.
Very often, those reasons are the ones really driving the outcome, and paradoxically analysists and people overall focus on a technical interpretation after the fact, providing a logical reasoning towards the public, rarely analyzing those reasons and projecting potential outcomes in advance.
That is precisely the point of the newsletters; helping people to understand the overall picture, a 30,000 ft overview of the present moment, to try to foresee potential outcomes to take place, along with precise tactics to prepare.
What happened in Q4 2018? Well… let’s ask Google…?
You could perfectly say “he was lucky once”, and that’s it.
Fair enough.
Besides all the examples I have been giving in time, let’s move now to a more recent example.
The last week of February 2020 was the quickest and steepest drop of the Stock Market since the Great Financial Crisis, the famous Lehman collapse.
Let’s take a look.
Alert to members, Title “The Real Virus”
Date: Feb 14th, 2020
As you can see, besides giving an overview of the situation and the way to confront it, I detailed the rationale behind the trades open on the short term, same trades that very few weeks later helped us to close an outstanding February.
While most of Hedge Funds and “Big players” were losing their shirt (…your shirt!!!!…) in their worst month in recent history, not only we did not lose our shirt, but we made outstanding gains.
One example of the outcome achieved after closing one of this trades is available in the link below, openly displayed, with proof, in a LinkedIn post, dated Feb 28th, 2020.
It is one more example, however, further below you will clearly see what was the REAL OUTCOME achieved on our entire portfolio after closing February.
B- An example of TRADING ALERTS
Using an encrypted instant messaging application (requires phone num.), I show members all trades I am opening and a brief reasoning why, in real time.
Again, after that, each member decides to follow or not. The choice is always yours.
Here is an example of the Trading Alerts follow up I also provide. This one detailing all short-term trades in 2019. I regularly provide alerts, openly and transparent to everyone, through my LinkedIn profile.

Here below find the updated results of our trading alerts in 2020 (December closing).
C- Total Portfolio Track
The Portfolio Follow Up details the construction of a complete portfolio, importance of each asset class within the strategy, and the corresponding follow up of the return generated.
The tracking tool provides an easy to use allocation benchmark, detailing which % of wealth I put in each one of the asset classes, based on each stage I project in the cycle.
Each one of the asset classes has a very specific objective and timing within the wealth strategy as a whole, and each of the members know my reasons to invest there, the timing perspective, and what is the outcome I pursue.
If you follow financial news in general, I am pretty sure that you are aware of the consequences thats Coronavirus had globally. During the last week of January, the correction erased all the gains of all main stock indexes.
Find below the Portfolio track resulting after the closing of January, 2020.
In that same month, Jan 2020, considering that our strategy protects vs severe corrections and truly diversifies, we scored a satisfactory +8.54% on the month.
Further proof of that protection and return mentioned above is the evolution of our full portfolio in February. While financial markets worldwide suffered the worst month since the GFC, and markets went on panic mode, we scored a +17.24% on the month.
After a 2020 full of volatility and uncertainty, year in which major hedge funds and quant funds suffered greatly (proving the unprecedented moment we are living), we end the year with a very satisfactory performance, +62.5% in 2020, driving our return at a monthly compounded average of +4.13%.
A Performance, that can compete with top funds this year, however:
-
- Built with a minuscule portion of their means (one brain, one computer, that’s it, pretty much…).
- Without expensive fees and no minimum investment required.
- Where people handle their own money and make their own decisions.
- Fueled by a generous community of members.
- Glued by lots of curiosity to understand what most people don’t see.
All of that, proved once again that our strategy and method, thought by a retail investor for the retail investor, besides our principles, found to help people make good decisions, can suit the rocky times we are living.
BTW, more rocky times to come, I believe…
I am sure that many money managers and technical people, extremely skilled people, would probably say “it is not possible to have yields like that if being properly protected and diversified”.
I can assure you IT IS POSSIBLE, indeed it is, and many people are seeing it as well.
To conclude, and after showing you the examples, the main point is the following, MONEY COMPOUNDS OVER TIME, this is its most important ability.
And the same way it does on the positive side (as in the example), it dilutes negatively.
If, as many people do, you just save currency and you don’t do anything with it, INFLATION does that erosive negatively-compound work, every single day you don’t put your money to work for you.
As I told members in the past, many times, while official inflation is reported at around 2%/year, that is far away from the truth, reality is quite different. if measured by the same standards of the 80’s (as it should be), inflation surpasses 9%/year.
Why do you think stuff gets more and more expensive over time..??? Does stuff change in nature? No, in most of the cases it is still the very same thing over time. The only thing really changing is the decay on the value of our currencies, that we use to pay for that stuff. That’s why you need more and more over time to pay for the exact same thing!!! It is that simple.
Even if you think this is basic, this is what most people STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
You want to understand better? Please, do something, escape mainstream idiocy, stop using your time to distract your mind, be curious, ask, look for truth, move, but please, here or somewhere else, EDUCATE YOURSELF, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!
