It is our view (and experience) that our Monthly and Market Updates provide financial value many multiples of the Annual Membership fee. Our updates provide emense value to anyone who…….

1. wants to better understand the global financial markets – particularly as we enter the end of an 80 year credit cycle; a period where positioning of financial assets is so very crucial. It is our view that this is a period also largely misunderstood by the general market and advisors alike (which 2008 demonstrated only too clearly for many).

2. manages their own wealth and wants another opinion. Our only interest is in providing real, actionable value to our members. We benefit in no other way from the general advice or recommendation we make

3. has someone managing their wealth, and doesn’t know exactly how that is being done – and perhaps who is concerned how well that manager is prepared for today’s market. Again, anyone who was convinced that they were safely diversified over an array of assets (equities, bonds, commodities, precious metals and real estate) in 2008 - watched their net worth plummet by 30-50%, on average. 2008 not only discredited the entire financial establishment, the random walkers and Modern Portfolio Theorists but it also exposed most investors belief systems about real estate prices and equity returns over 10 year periods as tommyrot. You may want to be on the ‘right side’ of the changing conversation this time around.

Our General Advice - Trading

Whilst everyone knows what is financially POSSIBLE from trading, trading isn’t for everyone.

Here is what is REQUIRED from you:

1. Read “Trading Is” and “Trading Survival Guide” on this site. If, after reading these, you feel you would like to trade, please continue.

has someone 2. You have some ‘Risk Capital’ to enter these trades. Risk Capital should be funds that are not required for your day to day living and can be utilised in an effort to make a gain, while being exposed to the risk of loss. We would suggest this should be at least $50,000, but certainly not less than $20,000. Our recommendations apply from a $50,000 account to a $50 million account, and everywhere in between. Each member must decide how much to trade (and risk) on each position, according to their personal circumstances and risk tolerance.

3. You are able to read, and act on, emails/text messages as they arrive – action is normally required within 1 - 3 hours of receipt. Emails and texts will usually be sent mornings and early evenings – so not while you are sleeping! (applicable for US and Australian/Asian members)

4. You must be comfortable opening and operating a trading account. We do not manage your money – you do. We will provide all details for you to execute each trade, however you must do the execution. Many financial providers have internet and smart phone enabled platforms to make executing trades fast and efficient. They also generally provide phone support for customers to enter trades verbally. We have members who have never traded before, and have very limited computer skills.

5. Risk tolerance. Not every trade will produce profits; many, in fact, will result in a loss. This is a normal part of trading and is to be expected. If you cannot handle being ‘wrong’, we strongly suggest you do not trade (at all).
