DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

Ever have your money managed by someone else and wonder just why they are getting commissions and fees when you are losing money or doing most of the research?

Ever try self investing and feel like you're drowning in data?

Ever been faced with reams of reading trying to understand technical analysis indicators?

Ever tried to remember that one indicator works in conjunction with another, but which was it?

Do you use expensive programs:

• that require you learn their way?
• that lock you out of the data or lock up your computer?
• that flood you with advertising for more, tapes, books, seminars, add ons, and upgrades?
• whose screens or filters leave you hundreds of individual issues to review after dinner?
• that provide you a limited set of tools
      and you need to spend hundreds of dollars more to get the rest?
• that have an 800 number for sales
      but a toll call (and long holds) for support?
• that have you seeking the rare home run instead of hitting singles, time and time again?
  

Have you ever invested dozens, or hundreds of hours, in expansive back testing only to find out your data set does not contain companies that have gone out of business? (You're only picking from the survivors!) Or, the database was back adjusted for splits, so the real price at the time of selection isn't what is recorded in the database?

THE BETTER MOUSETRAP

We've been there, and paraphrasing Howard Beale in Paddy Chayefsky's "Network"

"We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore!"

So we built a better mousetrap.

You want to skip the details? You can.

You want to review the formulas? You can.

You want to use the data in a way we haven't anticipated? You can!

WHAT WE DO

We front load major number crunching to find issues with positive developments and communicate the information in an easy to understand format.

We provide information, not recommendations.

You decide what to, or not to, do.

We summarize key issues for you.

Simply put: At the end of every trading day, we gather primary data, apply a number of technical analysis indicators TAI, find those that have new or cumulative positive developments, rank the issues, prepare the information and present it in a simple abbreviated format and get in on the web site and in the email by 6pm Central Time. We also prepare a report (the 2W43) of issues that came close but did not meet all the criteria needed to be included in our abbreviated report. More complex report formats including summary, detailed and a detailed comprehensive report are in development.

We alert you to key positive developments before the market closes.

A few minutes after 2pm Central Time we prepare an email alert (the 2W43-NRT) that reports issues that were "close" to meeting our selection requirements the previous day. Want to see a graphical snapshot of these issues? Select POGs and have them emailed to you before the market closes. You have just under one hour to check the current price and decide on a purchase or not. This presents you with the opportunity to hold the issue before other people decide it is a good idea and raise the price in after-market and pre-market trading.

Why can't you do this on your own?

You probably can, but with more than 12,000 equities to evaluate, using multiple TAI, each using several thousand processing steps, each with several hundred discrete computations can require over 100,000,000,000 (100 trillion) computations all before 6pm will require some major programming and hardware capacities.

WHAT WE DON'T DO

We don't make you learn how to do it “our way”. -- Read our lips: “No new programs.”

We don't restrict our data.
      You paid for it, you can use it any way you want
      (except to send it to someone else!)

We don't impose our commentaries, essays or similar opinions on you.

We don't up-sell you.
      We sell no books, no special reports, no seminars, nada.
      If we enhance what you're already getting, you get the enhancements.

We don't hide behind the curtain, no black box computations, no secret formulas.
      We don't make up our own special indices, or secret oscillators.
      We show you what we do and how we do it.

WHY WE DO

We're in this to make money.
We started what we called “The Tool” (uninspiring name, we know) because we were not making money reliably using other investment tools. Most tools give you lots of information about an issue that you select. Those are called “analysis tools”. Other tools apply algorithms and present you with issues to analyze. These are “screening tools”. Some tools gave us too many picks and too little information about their picks so we'd have to look elsewhere anyway.

“Positive Territory” was developed to give us highly reliable indications of short term price rises. From early 2003 to early 2006 we tested various technical analysis indicators singly, in pairs, in triples, in many differing combinations until we found a set that worked well. How well? See our Track Record.

After making a small pile on our own we decided we could share the results and make more money. Still, we wanted to provide more so we created a basic education section open to the public.

Hopefully you can do better on that learning curve that took us so long.

Technical vs Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis is a thorough examination of the position of a company in its relationship to its competition and its place in the market as a whole. Detailed examination of all financial statements, guidance, filings, press reporting, annual reports, third party analysis and more is required.

Technical analysis is examination of the movement of a company's stock through time. The underlying concept is that someone, or multiple people, know everything and their knowledge is reflected in the stock movement. All of the analysis is framed in the knowledge that the stock market is not reality. It is the reflection of the perception of reality.

Every trading day we need to examine and re-examine every potential investment. We use technical analysis to reduce the number of possible choices. It is a test well suited to automation. Once we get a reasonable number of selections, then we can apply fundamental analysis.
