Steve Selengut was a hands-on, individual client portfolio manager from from September, 1979 through October 2010. He now performs these funtions through others. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5635 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5635 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 06:00:20 PST Private Workshops: You and Steve Selengut--- whatever you want to talk about. Your portfolio, your plans. How to increase your income. Getting ready for retirement. What Market Cycle Investment Management can do for you. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5639 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5639 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:33:21 PST The Investment IQ Test is designed to gauge your understanding of the concepts and strategies needed to productively manage your portfolio in today's much too complex market environment. Naturally, it is based on Market Cycle Investment Management Methodology and the Working Capital Model operating system. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5641 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5641 Wed, 18 Aug 2010 09:47:20 PST Financial Services Website Warning Label http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5643 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5643 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 08:29:22 PST Establish a profit-taking target for every security you purchase. Avoid Unrealized Gains, Embrace Volatility, Increase Annual Income, and remember that all key investment moments are only visible in rear view mirrors. Keep in mind that you need Income to pay the bills, and examine Market Value numbers at intelligent intervals. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5647 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5647 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 10:40:29 PST It matters not what lines, numbers, indices, or gurus you worship, you just can't know where the stock market is going or when it will change direction. Too much investor time and analytical effort is wasted trying to predict course corrections… even more is squandered comparing portfolio Market Values with a handful of unrelated indices and averages. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5648 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5648 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 05:54:01 PST Both Market Cycle Investment Management and The Working Capital Model were nearly ten years old when the robust 1987 rally became the dreaded Black Monday, (computer loop?) correction on October 19th. Sudden and sharp, that 50% or so correction proved the applicability of a methodology that had fared well in earlier minor downturns. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5669 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5669 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 04:33:22 PST Actually, hindsight and the Investment Grade Value Stock Index (IGVSI) Bargain Level Monitor tell us that it died early in March 2009. More realistically, however, corrections don't really die quite so abruptly. They are supplanted by rallies--- and vice versa. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5671 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5671 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 04:34:47 PST Whether you go the discount route through Schwab, Ameritrade, Fidelity, etc., or enjoy a higher level of service through an independent like LMK Wealth Management, you should never be surprised by the market values reflected on your monthly account statement. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5674 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5674 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:44:37 PST Before Wall Street conned investors into thinking of calendar quarters as "short-term" and single years as "long-term", market cycles were used to test investment strategies. Performance analysis was a test of management style and overall methodology, not a calendar year horse race with one of the popular averages. Bor-ing, yes--- but meaningful. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5678 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/5678 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:05:44 PST
