We have finally decided to offer for the first time our proprietary Relative Strength (RS) system which has been tested for years vis-a-vis the Nasdaq 100 market index, demonstrating to be a very solid and reliable investment strategies for both the short and the long term. The RS strategy invests in the 10 Nasdaq 100 stocks (the total index is composed of 100 companies) that exhibit the strongest relative strength. Furthermore, the strategy rebalances the positions at the beginning of each quarter to eliminate the weakest stocks and include the strongest. We believe this methodology is especially effective within retirement accounts (IRA, ROTH, SEP, SIMPLE, etcetera), where no short or long-term capital gains/losses can affect the results. Finally, the above results do not include reinvested dividends, transaction fees and/or any other investment costs.
