Did You Wait 21 Months To Make Money In The SP500?

Good morning.

Markets rebounded a little bit this morning. That got me thinking about where we are over the past couple of years.

Look at the chart below for SPY (SP500). See the horizontal blue line. It traces the price from today back to 12/31/2020. You can see they are the same number.

What does that mean?

That means if you owned SPY (or another SP500 index ETF) you would not have made a cent for 21 months . That's right. Not one cent.

The SP500 has gone sideways for 21 months.

In the same time period, our V2 Newsletter is up roughly 46%. That's right. Up 46%.

This is one of the reasons I built V2. I wanted a tool to avoid making nothing for long periods of time. Like from 1966 to 1982. 16 years! Or from From 2000 to 2012. 12 years! In both time periods markets went sideways for more than a decade!

Building the Model was a lot of work. Time, effort and math went into it creating it. Then we did millions of iterations to find the best timing. The result was V2. In V2 we use 127 different asset class ratios on multiple time frames to compare against any security. We do not forecast. We follow our math.

V2 is not perfect. Nothing is. But our V2 Model give us a fighting chance and a good probability of getting us on the right side of extended trends in either direction. Over time, our math has allowed us to beat the market.

I encourage you to check out our performance below and if you are tired of going sideways follow V2 for a bit and see if it is right for you. Our V2 Newsletter is only $15 a month and you can unsubscribe at any time.
