V2 Model 200th Issue. What Next?

V2 Model 200th Issue. What Next?

April 26, 2022

Hello:

This past weekend we reached a milestone. We sent out our 200th V2 Newsletter. Cool.

Thank you, each and every one of you, for being a part of it.

When we launched the V2 Model in 2016 we had one mission: Crush the SP500. My logic was simple. It is really difficult to beat the SP500 (just ask Warren Buffet). Investing in the SP500 has beat 85% of all funds, ETFs, and other investment opportunities over the long term. I figured if I could do it, I would be happy. And maybe, just maybe, others could benefit from our work.

Here are our results from January 1st, 2016, to April 25th, 2022.

V2 +1,332%

SPY +129%

That works.

You can see the summary below.

What is next for The Vig Company?

This year we tested and continue to consider seasonality data as part of our mix. While we have worked through a number of concepts, none have significantly improved our confidence level for better performance. We are also testing more put and call option ratios. Here the results are interesting, but there is a lot more work to do before we start to use it. We will continue to run the math and look for new opportunities.
Currently, we use Revue to serve our newsletter. It has a number of limitations and areas that have been frustrating. We are currently researching alternatives to Revue. If we are to make a change, I will notify everyone in advance.
We continue to seek modifications to the V2 Model current ratio mix, timing, and weighting. One example has been to run tests both speeding up and/or slowing down the model in certain conditions. The goal is to generate fewer whipsaws and greater returns. We have more work to do here.
Last, we will continue to seek improvements in our investment psychology. Here are a few of my current thoughts:

In investing there are always strengths and weaknesses. The more we can work on and improve our weaknesses the better our investments will do.
Current price action is the sum of all fears.
Be optimistic. Have fun. Optimism is a force multiplier. (We like multipliers!)
Investing is for everyone. So is math.
Stay focused and true. Stay disciplined. Play our own game.

Again, thank you for being part of the V2 family.

Our V2 Model tracks over 120 asset class ratios on various time frames to assist us in deciding how and when to allocate our holdings. No single indicator, chart, or list gives market clarity. They each give a point of view that we factor into our model. We do not forecast. We follow the math. It has led us to remarkable long-term performance.
