2. Our Investment Strategy How to Make the Trend Your Friend

3. Goals for Today Show you what we have come to believe How we are putting that into practice for ourselves and our clients How that might affect you

4. When to be Invested In the market when the trend is Up Out of the market when the trend is Down This is our first belief: We believe we can reduce your losses and increase your overall return over time.

5. What is Important? It is not so much what you make when the market goes up…. It is what you keep when the market goes down!

6. Growth When the stock market is up, that is growth. We want to be invested in Growth Investments during those periods when the market trend is up.

7. Decline When the stock market reverses (goes down), we do not want to be a part of that trend. Instead, we want to keep as much of our investment base as possible by shifting to interest earning assets, until the trend is up again.
