Our Approach

  • Our carefully fine-tuned approach to ETF research and selection combines a variety of technical factors which we have developed after years of observing and investing the markets.
  • Except for the deepest bear market that we witnessed in late 2008 where every long side investing approach failed, we think our ideas worked very well.

Look At Our Results

  • We tabulate below the list of ETFs we have spotlighted from March 2009 that have crossed 15 weeks after first spotlighting.
