Stifel Investment Group Indicates No Returns For Next 10 years!

Good morning.

This article from Seeking Alpha popped up in my feed this morning.

Buy yesterday and go away? Stifel sees a lost decade for the S&P 500

The summary is this: "The broader market could enjoy a near-term bounce, but looking longer term there will be almost no return for stocks, according to Stifel's equity trading desk." They are predicting a lost decade for stocks.

The good news? They suggest 9 opportunities. Several of them are at the core of our V2 Model:

• Active (not broad passive - buy and hold) management in a range-bound decade.

• Macro hedge funds, or long short equity funds

• Defensives during slowdowns, cyclical during recoveries.

The V2 Model is actively managed, we use many hedge fund techniques (including quantitative tools), we will go long and/or short, and we will move sector to sector as the math warrants. We share all of this in our V2 Newsletter.

A lost decade?

No way. Not if you follow the V2 Newsletter!

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 significant 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 gives 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. If you are worried about 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.

You will see we have quite a strong track record. It is rare to have this type of long-term record.
