  1. Hey, I think we are finally back into rally mode.

    The work the market has been relentlessly trying to put in for ONE WHOLE YEAR may be finally done.

    Despite all the financial industry/Fed shenanigans, short-lived corrections and the typical late-stage perma-bull frothiness - price and volume action coupled with the fundamental backdrop of the U.S. Stock Market dictate a very high likelihood that we should now emerge with a healthy new bull rally ; )

    We did experience a "normal" correction that lasted long enough for most of the "froth" to work itself out of the market. We now look for new leadership to emerge from sound base patterns as institutional investors move this market forward.

    I have been very successful in targeting these trends for about 10 years and when bottoms are targeted like summer '06, August '07 and now, a fairly low-risk approach to fund management using covered calls will produce heady returns. Couple this with loss minimization during downturns, the compounded returns over mid- to longer-term periods (3-5 years) ARE POWERFUL! To the tune of safely moving 100k to 10's of millions in a routine fashion.

    So there you have it the bull is back (was confirmed March 20, 2008 after the previous February 13, 2008 rally attempt failed, as we have an 80% success rate in actually calling these bottoms) and again today with the HIGH VOLUME SURGE with the Dow posting its 8th biggest gain ever.

    It has been a long time coming (previous to this the first 3 quarters of 2002 seemed unending for failed rally attempts with burdensome loss management) -but I can safely say the upcoming easy gains are virtually imminent.

    At Collective2 I've been about a month into some new futures traded accounts that should benefit strongly with the trend and I am looking forward to them panning out. (More gains less management). You've seen the past performance and now my website covered call funds should move ahead PER THE NORM, unless the Fed decides to RAISE rates 3% overnight or some equally insane debacle :D.

  2. ok buddy

    you should be able to (in 1 post) give a two or three sentence elevator pitch and then explain your actual performance. don't just direct me to those screwy charts on that website.

    write it out on this bulletin board. i'm not against you - i just think you're hard to understand.

  3. Sorry. Market has UP phases. We target these for profit. Covered Calls compound powerfully during these up phases.

    To make buku bucks not only capitalize on these phases, but LIMIT LOSSES in counter-phases.

    See charts for reference. Futures can IMMENSELY profit when used properly!!

    Await pending results to verify.

    Periodic updates will BLAH-BLAH per the norm: BEWARE OF NAUSEA ;)

    (better? ok?)

    FYI - the BIG PICTURE:

  4. DON'T TEASE US GIL!

    That link does not show the name of your system.

    What is the name of your new system on C2?

    BTW, the chart looks great, as always. Whose track record does it show? Not your's, surely.

  5. Hi Emilio,

    No I am not trying to tease anyone. I have just been enduring a market period where it doesn't EASILY show that 50% annual (AVERAGE) gains can be accomplished with covered calls by actually demonstrating it before you all.

    I DO do this routinely and after working very hard with each supposed entry into high-beta (yet fully-researched) CC picks to minimize losses once the reverse slammed me. Now that (past i.e. hard fought) capital has been preserved we may get a 6 month or so period where I can demonstrate a 50% jump!

    Of course no one is going to believe it and I DO NOT openly give Collective2 system names or my website url PER ET POLICY.

    BUT it can be found in this thread. At C2 just do a search using "KC" and one or more funds will pop up and you can see all from there.

    These were supposed to be posted where there were duplicates in prior post.

    Hope it help (to see volatile Nasdaq that best compares to these funds and the near bottom entries, etc.)

    AND how staying in cash recently has given a leg up in comparison to the index IN EACH YEAR. Now we just hope to move substantially forward to once again leave this up-down action (and other strategies) in the dust.

  8. OK -

    After ONE WHOLE YEAR the stock market seems is back to its predictably readable nature.

    The latest "correction" WAS deeply thorough enough to "wring out (most or enuf) of the 'excesses'" for Xxxxxxx Capital Funds to profit in the usual manner.

    You see last Feb-Mar '07 and even last summer we saw "pseudo-corrections" that do not allow for a healthy market and "growth" stock investors to safely advance their portfolios.

    Excerpt from newsletter:

    "In 2008, Xxxxxxx Capital went into "Stop Losses" mode - a change in our Market Direction call - enacted Friday, 04-Jan-2008. The Nasdaq’s Feb. 13 follow-through did prompt us to temporarily issue our "Green Light" directive, however multiple distribution days from the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and the Dow - resulted in an undercut of the Jan. 22-23 lows - prompting us to move back into "Stop Losses" mode.

    "While every major market advance has started with a follow-through, not every follow-through has triggered a big bull run. Recently, the Dow followed through on its new rally attempt putting us back into "Green Light" mode, effective Thursday, 20-Mar-2008. We then saw further conviction amongst big-money, institutional investors this past Tuesday, 01-Apr-2008, as the market's big price moves in higher volume netted follow-throughs for the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and NYSE composite – propelling all of the major indexes above key resistance levels!"

    And after a slight retracement the past few days, we are seeing a very high volume of trading going (once-again) into stocks today.

    Since the 24th of March we have been successfully phasing back into covered call positions due to expire next Friday as we indeed have likely targeted the latest market bottom.

    With continued healthy action from the market and leading stocks, we once-again may successfully ramp up gains with covered calls in the ensuing months in a safe and powerful way.

    Not much gains were made for ONE WHOLE YEAR, mainly because tight stop losses are our routine when compounding a high annual average over multi-year periods with high-beta, growth stocks - since a 20-40% clip from past gains (i.e. 100k moved to 500k over ~3.25 year period) could likely happen with any correction or bear market.

    We'd rather minimally impact that 500k during uncertain periods for the more favorable that come around in regular cycles like the current.

    At my website (and no I am not posting it per ET policy), we start each year with 20k and enter into positions like:

    FYI based upon my timing models, my various futures-traded accounts at Collective2 are in the early phases of showing some REAL progress likely to be apparent by year-end :p

    GTS

    By REAL progress, do you mean that won't end up being flatlined at the bottom of the equity graph like these previous C2 attempts?

  10. You found him out. Another loser who posts endless drivel and when finally given the means to post a real track record, shows that he can't trade his way out of a paper bag.
