I look at the returns SSP is getting and think: THIS IS WAY TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! There must be some kinda catch, would some veteran out there please reassure me that this is for real! If it is for real somebody should tell Warren Buffet about it 'cause  he can't make gains like these ! ???

Hello markcle,

A little note to specify what has been recorded live on the markets on this site.

The portfolios which names end with the "+" suffix use our new Martket Timing Indicator". This indicator has been developed in October 08 after the market crash, in order to reduce the volatility of our portfolios.
Before that date, the signals of this indicator are simulated, after that, they are recorded live. The portfolios on which the signals are added have been recorded live since inception though.

They are the portfolios without the "+" suffix that you can see in the second table on the Portfolios page.

In other words ... yes ... its too good to be true. When in doubt check 6 month returns on the non "+" portfolios.

Confusing isn't it?

I have always maintained that no one will hold the SSP portfolio for more that a few months as the volitility will shake out most traders. That said... they do have some nice picks. So trade them as you see fit with your own style and risk tolerance.

Thanks admin. and bryan;

   I read the debates between you regarding the + portfolios and I must agree with the administrator-I don't see any problem with revising the portfolios to reflect what would have happened had the timing indicator been available. I just wish someone had told me to go to cash last Oct!!

Also, take advantage of the fact that our information is free. You can follow our portfolios for a while to assess them and see if you feel they are right for you...
