Good question. I have always been fascinated with how many people just have no clue how to invest their IRA's and 401k's.Most get stuck into buy and hold and end up chasing last years best mutual fund performer.Most of these people also have no concept of making money on the short side.

My intent here is to provide a very stable safe system that captures most of the larger trends long or short.The average guy could then participate in the market regardless of conditions without worrying about huge drawdowns, while holding long through a Bear market for instance.

There is bound to be some slippage when the prevailing trends turn and we realign with them but I'm hoping that making money on the short side will add enough to the overall performance that we will still be able to beat buy and hold.

This is really meant to open up all that is available to the average investor who will not be making the step up to more advanced stock and futures trading ect.It needs to be something easily understood and implemented.

I'm not sure if I can do it...but I am convinced there is a huge unmet need for something like this.
