The Five Stocks Monthly Trading Strategy
Every investor is a stock picker at heart. But to do it right, every pick requires some degree of heavy lifting in the form of time and research. The new Five Stocks monthly trading strategy promises to crunch the data and shoulder that heavy lifting itself, providing a rules-based algorithm specifically tuned to stock selection.
Five Stocks has completed beta testing and is now available as part of the MAX Pak package plan (it's not available as a stand-along model). Here's a detailed look at how it operates, and how returns and risk have played out in years past. |
Conservative vs. Aggressive Portfolios
Are you a conservative investor, or aggressive? How much risk are you willing to take in return for potentially higher returns? At Trendline Profits, there is a monthly trading model for investors at either end of the spectrum – and everything in between.

The 12% Solution in CombinationWhat if I told you that combining The 12% Solution with one or two of my other models could provide more diversification to your portfolio and give overall performance a little more oomph over time?
That's nice, you say. But how much more diversification? And how much more oomph? Let's find out. |
The Coffeehouse Portfolio vs. The 12% Solution
I admit it, this is an apples and oranges kind of comparison. Why? The Coffeehouse is a "Lazy Portfolio," a passive investing strategy, while The 12% Solution is dynamic - requiring monthly rebalancing.
A fair fight? Probably not. But if your money's on the line, and risk matters, then maybe this is a fight worth watching. |
Headline Risk And Monthly Trading Models - Keeping Drawdowns In CheckMay 2019 was brutal, with many ETF rotation strategies caught flat-footed by headline news. What can we do to help protect against headline risk? 1) Know our strategies, and 2) Employ multiple models in our portfolio.
Let's see how our four models fared for the month, and single out two in particular (Bond Bulls and The White Knuckle) for an exercise in risk reduction. |
