About Market Innovations

It used to be that information alone was power. Information built huge private clubs for a number of professions. To make money in the market, investors needed close ties to Wall Street. But those days are passing because the Information Revolution is breaking down the walls between the hot shot financiers and the little guy. What investors know is becoming less relevant than what they do with the information they get.

My philosophy is that our portfolios should be segmented into two categories: growth and safety. A successful strategy is one that determines how much of our portfolio is devoted to each category. And that depends on our unique attitudes toward risk and our current financial situations. A visit to the RiskProfiler™ will allow each of you to determine how much of your portfolio should be devoted to riskier growth and how much should be committed to safer fixed income instruments.

I think the next thing we need to do is abandon the old buy-and-hold "strategy" which was never a strategy at all. It was a profitable tactic for a particular type of market. But as market conditions change, our tactics have to change along with them.

The growth portion of your portfolio needs to be tactically allocated to the right place at the right time. That's where Market Insights™ steps in. It provides a unique long-term historical approach to market and economic analysis that can give you an edge over many of the pros on Wall Street.
