&hrough this eb site e ill share some of the results of the uni5ue 0round3
breain0 research e are conducting on the JSE for use b' the general investing
public. We feel the current @nancial crises oIers a once-in-C3 'ears opportunit' for
ordinar' investors to get into the stock market at never before seen prices and set
themselves up tid' nest-eggs for the future.
&he research methods e use are usuall' the preserve of large investments funds
and private client ealth managers and are coupled ith some ver' uni?ue and ne
anal'tical concepts to the South #frican investing audience. -n addition, although
man' investment books cover some ver' interesting research, nobod' bothers to test
or tailor this to the JSE since it is such a small market and e are such a tin' countr'.
We aim to @ll that gap too. Some of our more detailed ground-breaking research ill
be made available for purchase from time to time, hoever the free information e
oIer ill still be e'e-popping, highl' educational and ver' topical.
WHAT AKES US DIFFERENT?
.o other Lhot-tipL or Lpenn' stockL nesletters or services in S# use ?uantitative
research and anal'sis. &he' rel' on Linsider tipsL, Linside trackL, Lfundamental
valuationsL, Lgut feelL and pure luck on some occasions. #dditionall', e are
completel' transparent - 'ou can see the real-orld and historical performance of all
our strategies in the Scoreboard page.
&hirdl', e put our mone' here our mouth is - e have over (2.6; invested in our
strategies ith Standard 0ank *n-line Share &rading. Ever' time e research, back-
test and create a ne strateg' for our subscribers, e spend at least
(63,333 investing in a real portfolio - 'ou donMt see other advisor' services doing
that.
+ourth, e do our on research and e back-test the theor' on the JSE - e donMt
take an'thing for granted, no matter ho ell it orks in the U.S markets or
ho man' books a guru has ritten on a strateg'.
+ifth, e share the in-depth ground-breaking research ith 'ou, so 'ou full'
understand the logic and theor' and appreciate here each strateg' is coming
from. &hat means no L0lack-0o"L strategies, but mathematical and statisticall'
derived unsub!ective mechanical strategies. #n'one folloing our strateg' rules ill
have the identical performance, no unrealistic performances that are impossible for
an average investor to replicate.
Si"th, e donMt stop at our on investment portfolios or the backtests - e replicate
model portfolios, one per ?uarter, for each strateg', to provide multiple rolling
forard tests to validate the strateg' is relevant across multiple market scenarios.
+inall', e are obsessed ith hat e do - 'ou can go and look at the .EWS blog to
see ho proli@c e are ith ground-breaking research in pursuit of investment
perfection.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We subscribe to the time-tested investing methodologies of the industr' greats, such
as Warren 0uIet, 0en!amin )raham, ;artin Keig, *MShaugness', William J *M.eil
and man' others. We research their orks e"tensivel' as ell as tests of their
POWERSTOCKS
methodologies and s'stems performed on overseas markets. Using our poerful JSE
anal'sis softare, and data going back <3 'ears, e then check to see ho ell
these strategies performed historicall' on the JSE.
S'stems shoing the most eIective historical performance are then tracked on a
dail' or eekl' basis and posted to our various :ortfolio 0logs. &his kind of research
is ver' ell published and available for the US markets, but ver' fe markets outside
the US. We are not comfortable picking strategies that seem to ork on the US and
use them on the JSE, as the JSE is a ver' diIerent animal. -ts a tenth of the size of the
US markets for starters F<33 shares versus 5,333H. &he sector mi" is also ver'
diIerent Fe are resources heav' versus the U.S hich is technolog'>-ndustrial
heav'H. *n the JSE, ver' fe shares are chased b' a closed group of fund managers
and the general public has not 'et taken charge of their on investments as the US
has. #nd of course our countries and cultures are ver', ver' diIerent.
We track 6alue, 7rowth and $omentum investment strategies. (ight no, our focus
is on 1alue as e feel that in a 0ear market this is here 'our current opportunit'
lies. &his focuses on seeking out stocks of companies that are @nanciall' sound, ell
run, leaders or possible leaders in their segments, resilient in the face of donturns
and above all properl' valued or even undervalued. &hese stocks ill e"hibit superior
groth during and after the donturn and getting them cheap gives 'ou large
LbuIers of safet'L after being purchased to make 'our investment virtuall'
indestructible.
&hese are the *outh 8frican Power*tocs 3 solid, poerful and virtuall' guaranteed to
signi@cantl' outperform the market over a period of 7-6 'ears, and best of all going
for a song. We ill demonstrate the use of ?uantitative anal'sis, never before seen in
South #frica to compare stocks for selection. -n short the methods e ill introduce
are completel' ne to South #frica and are going to rivet 'ou to 'our seat and 'our
screen.
WHAT WE ARE NOT
&o be clear, e are not ?uali@ed @nancial advisers or brokers. We merel' oIer the /-8
-nvestor uni?ue never-before-seen research and anal'sis tailored for short, medium
and long term investment on the JSE and #$&-=. We built these methodologies and
tools out of necessit' for ourselves, since although most of them ma' e"ist for the US
markets and investment public, nothing like it is available for the South #frican
public. We onl' provide mechanical stock screens and timing signals and oIer no
vies, good or bad, on an' JSE listed companiesM management, prospects or
fundamentals. #ll our charts and indicators>signals are provided for informational
purposes onl' and e cannot oIer 'ou investment advise regarding the construction
of 'our portfolios, risk e"posure, retirement or income strategies - for that 'ou need a
