“Buy and
                                    Hold”




   On September 1, 2001, after
twenty-two years as a professional
   investor, we had a profound
  observation that allowed us to
  perfect The Coleman Method.
    Past performance is no guarantee of future success. But, it is a clue.
                                     6
“Buy and
                  Hold”




        What was our
    profound observation?
We observed that the stock market
environment was immaterial to value
creation.  To Daedalus, the stock
market is basically a sideshow. To
Daedalus, the stocks that we own
are 'the market.'  The rest of it does
not matter.
                   7
“Buy and
                 Hold”




       This is OUR TRUTH
At Daedalus Capital, L.L.C., we are
highly confident that we can use
The Coleman Method to deliver
you a 100% return on investment
in five years or less, regardless of
general market conditions.
                  8
“Buy and
                        Hold”




    Great Quote About Our Times
“...These days, facts seem overmatched by
falsehood, too slow to catch them, too weak
to stop them.
Indeed, falsehoods are harder to kill than a
Hollywood zombie. Run them through with
fact, and still they shamble forward, fueled
by echo chamber media, ideological
tribalism...”
Leonard Pitts, Syndicated Columnist, Miami Herald



                         9
“Buy and
                 Hold”




         IN SUMMARY

  We offer OUR TRUTH to an
 experienced, and still hopeful,
  world and we sincerely ask:

Are you ready to win?
If your answer is yes, let’s begin!
                  10

  • 6. “Buy and Hold” On September 1, 2001, after twenty-two years as a professional investor, we had a profound observation that allowed us to perfect The Coleman Method. Past performance is no guarantee of future success. But, it is a clue. 6
  • 7. “Buy and Hold” What was our profound observation? We observed that the stock market environment was immaterial to value creation.  To Daedalus, the stock market is basically a sideshow. To Daedalus, the stocks that we own are 'the market.'  The rest of it does not matter. 7
  • 8. “Buy and Hold” This is OUR TRUTH At Daedalus Capital, L.L.C., we are highly confident that we can use The Coleman Method to deliver you a 100% return on investment in five years or less, regardless of general market conditions. 8
  • 9. “Buy and Hold” Great Quote About Our Times “...These days, facts seem overmatched by falsehood, too slow to catch them, too weak to stop them. Indeed, falsehoods are harder to kill than a Hollywood zombie. Run them through with fact, and still they shamble forward, fueled by echo chamber media, ideological tribalism...” Leonard Pitts, Syndicated Columnist, Miami Herald 9
  • 10. “Buy and Hold” IN SUMMARY We offer OUR TRUTH to an experienced, and still hopeful, world and we sincerely ask: Are you ready to win? If your answer is yes, let’s begin! 10
