Investment Philosophies
Recent vacillation in global markets has confirmed that long-only equity portfolios generally will not perform well during bearish cycles. Therefore, it is advantageous for investors to employ alternative investments, such as options strategies, that have the potential to make money in any type of market environment, bullish or bearish.
At Crowder Investment Research, LLC we offer several strategies to complement your investment objectives. We will provide you with the tools necessary to produce returns that substantially outperform the major indices on an annual basis regardless of the economic environment.
We do not offer a 'get rich quick' strategy, but rather several strategies that are designed to produce consistent gains over the long-term. We aim for a return of 3% to 10% per month. While this may seem small to some investors in the options world, you can easily see how this compounds over a longer period of time. Even a conservative 5% a month results in an 88.6% gain on an annual basis. In real terms, in one year a $5,000 investment would return $4,430 in profits, excluding brokerage commissions.
Not only do we offer you a way to realize consistent profits, our strategies also provide you with a way to further diversify your current portfolios.
Utilizing a variety of options strategies is much like investing in a diverse array of stocks. As we all know, diversification is the key to long-term success. It is not only mathematically logical, but also a financially sound practice. Why fight the likes of Nobel laureates Markowitz, Miller and Sharpe, the fathers of portfolio diversification?
Our strategies can easily be integrated into your current portfolios even if it is an individual retirement account. We would hope that you would never "put all your eggs in one basket" if you are a long-term investor. It is too risky; if you drop the basket, you can conceivably lose everything. Smart investors would never employ this type of reckless investing, as the risk far outweighs the reward.
We offer two strategies that have passed the test of time, both of which are unique to our service. Each strategy can easily be integrated into your current portfolios. We seek to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns through short-term trading, switching between options in exchange-traded funds (SPY, DIA, QQQQ, IWM) and cash. Each strategy operates in conjunction with buy or sell signals generated by our in-house proprietary models.
Your subscription to our service provides you with the concepts and guidelines necessary to trade these strategies on your own. Conversely, if you do not have the time or inclination to trade on your own, you can sign-up for our auto-trade service, which is a system that allows trades to be made on your behalf in your own personal account. Auto-trading is offered through several online brokerages.
