Market Master The Art & Science of Investing™

Market Master is a weekly publication designed to provide Subscribers with an overall feel for the US equity market, its current directional trend and status as well as a sense of possible directional changes that may be emerging.

Warren Buffet is famously quoted as saying:

“Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful”

This implies that the time to buy is when everyone else is selling and the time to sell is when everyone else is buying. The problem is; when does the buying turn to selling and vice versa.

Historically equity markets tend to have upward momentum 70% of the time and downward momentum 30% of the time. When the market is rising a Bull run can be an awesome thing to witness and a very profitable time to be in the equities market. A full-fledged Bear Market can not only decimate a portfolio, but the emotional stress can be just as difficult to endure.

In fact, over the last 15 years:

There have been 24 periods where the US stock market corrected 5% or more;

That means that on average the market corrects every eight months or so;

Resulting in an average decline of 12%.

Eight of these corrections resulted in declines of over 15%;

During these Bear Markets the average duration was 62 days;

Are you ready for the next one? What will you do? Can you handle watching you nest egg decline for 2 month (or 2 years for that matter)? Did your advisors move you to the sidelines in the past or hedge your portfolio? Did you make money as the markets go down?

The answer to all of these questions is typically no!

The reality is Brokers and Advisors have no incentive in taking proactive action during market down drafts. Further, most mutual funds and institutional funds usually have a mandate to remain fully invested in long positions at all times.

And you still pay their fees as your portfolio decreases!

So, unless you are proactive and have the guidance and tools at your disposal, your portfolio is at risk during the next correction. And there is one coming!

The Key to successful investing is to be exposed to equity risk during periods when the market are rising and to either be out of the market or short the market when the risk reward is unfavorable to the investor.

The problem is: “how do you know when the risk reward changes and what do you do to position your portfolio to be in sync with the current trend”.

THE WYCKOFF CONNECTION…

This is exactly what Market Master is designed to do. Portfolio Research Partners analysts focus on understanding the market and its various cycles. We underpin our analysis with the theories and practices of one of the world’s best investors; Richard

Demille Wyckoff. Wyckoff understood that markets were made up of humans and that the true driving forces of the markets were the emotions of fear and greed. These emotions are the catalysts that change the balance of supply and demand for assets and thus the price of assets. Click here to learn more.

This approach to the market(s) was developed and memorialized in the early 1900s, but is still relevant today, principally because the human element is the same now as it was then.

One of the key principles of the Wyckoff approach is that asset prices move within trading ranges and understanding where the asset (or market) is with respect to its trading range cycle is essential to successful investing. This is indicative of the driving emotional factors of Fear and Greed which determines the direction and velocity of asset price movements.

In short, “You Make Money When you Purchase an Asset, Not When You Sell It.” The key to profitable investing in any market is to buy at the right time.

That is why we developed a set of professional grade analytics. Our Subscribers get in first, capture the gains and get out before the pain begins. This enables our Subscribers to manage risk, profit in all types of market conditions and earn a balanced return above the broad market benchmarks.

PROFESSIONAL GRADE ANALYTICS…

Wyckoff use to read the Ticker Tape in order to gain insights into the market(s). In order to guide our Subscribers in their own investing decisions, Portfolio Research Partners has developed six key analytic tools to help our analysts determine the turning points in markets and

asset classes so our Subscribers can profit from these changing directional trends. These programs run on state-of-the-art computing systems using sophisticated algorithm written by

3

Portfolio Research Partners. These programs are all highly accurate in capturing the essence of the market and predicting changes so our Subscribers can profit from these opportunities.

Market Master is designed to do just that. While no analysis method is perfect when it comes to the stock market, our proprietary analytic tools get pretty close. In fact, while all of our analytic tools are highly correlated to the movements of the S&P500 index, our Mean Revision Indicator has a +.88 correlation coefficient. The Volatility Divergence Indicator, the Rate of Change Index and the Market Cycle Indicator all have a correlation coefficient of over +.90. The highest analytic we have produced is the Relative Volatility Index with a +.98 correlation coefficient.

You may ask yourself; So What? A perfectly correlated relationship between two sets of data would have a coefficient of +1.0 or -1.0. Statistically speaking any correlation coefficient greater than +.80 is considered Highly Correlated.

When used together, the suite of analytic tools developed by Portfolio Research Partners has predicted all directional shifts in the US equity markets for the past ten years.

As you are reading this, you must be thinking; that is a bold statement. We know that and can prove it to you….Consider this…

PROPRIETARY ANALYTIC TOOLS…

Market Cycle Indicator (“MCI”)

The MCI quantifies the cycle for the broad US equity market and clearly shows the

intermediate trend and turning points. This proprietary indicator uses a combination of

closing prices from the S&P 500 index combined with relative timing and investor

sentiment data to construct an index that can be used to understand the state of the

current market cycle and spot trend turning points.

Signal Line Confirmation Line

Market Cycle Indicator Published by

The indicator consists of a signal line which moves with the trend of the market and a

confirmation line that is used to confirm a counter-trend move.

Broad market tops and troughs are easy to spot and action should be considered as

markets move toward extreme points. Action should also be taken when confirmed

trends shift occur. Confirmation occurs when the confirmation line crosses the signal

line and they begin to move in parallel.

This indicator has a correlation coefficient of approximately +.93 to the S&P 500 index,

which indicates a positive, highly predictive relationship.

Once an investor understands the primary trend of the market, then all other

investment decisions can be made with more conviction.

Mean Reversion Index (“MRI”)

As asset prices traverse the trading range and when emotions take control, asset prices

always move into excess conditions. A staple of technical analysis has been to study

price relationships in relation to various moving averages.

Portfolio Research Partners has developed a proprietary indicator that combines

three key moving average variances to the S&P 500 price index. This indicator then

uses an algorithm that smoothes the result and produces a tool that has a high

correlation coefficient to the S&P 500 which is greater than the correlation of any of the

individual daily moving averages (50, 100 & 200 DMA).

This indicator has a correlation coefficient of approximately +.88 to the S&P 500 index,

which indicates a positive, highly predictive relationship.

This indicator is an excellent confirming tool for higher convection of directional

changes in and the continuation of broad market trends.

Rate of Change Index – S&P500

The Rate-of-Change (ROC) indicator that measures the percent change in price from

one period to the next for any traded security. It is similar to our proprietary indicator

the Directional Oscillator.

In calculating the Rate of Change Index for the S&P500 we weight the daily change of

the S&P500 index with the calculated Rate of Change thereby creating a momentum and

trend weighted index.

This indicator has a correlation coefficient of +.93 to the S&P500 index.

Volatility Divergence Indicator

The Volatility Divergence Indicator is a unique proprietary technical indicator. It is the

study of the relationship between XIV, which is the inverse VIX Exchange Traded Note

and SPY, which is the Exchange Traded Fund correlated to the S&P500 index. XIV

moves higher when the VIX falls, which it typically does during periods of a rising

market. Therefore the directional trend of XIV and Spy will be in sync. However XIV is

based on the intermediate VIX futures and will anticipate a directional change in market

direction. When this occurs XIV and Spy trend diverge and the Volatility Divergence

This indicator has a correlation coefficient to the S&P500 index of +.94 correlation.

Relative Volatility Index

The Relative Volatility Index is the differentials between near term put and call option

contracts for the subject index or security. Option contracts provide a useful view of

what traders think the future performance of the markets may be.

This indicator has a correlation coefficient of approximately +.98 to any asset price

series it may be applied to, which indicates a positive, highly predictive relationship.

Market Indices Analysis…

In addition to our proprietary indicators, we analyze select market indexes using our

two key tools, the Directional Oscillator and the Momentum Trend Indicator. These two

tools are applied to:

S&P 500 Index

Dow Industrial Average

Dow Transportation Index

NASDAQ 100 Index

Russell 2000 Index

Inverse Volatility Index

The result is a composite of the actual trend and supply & demand state of the overall

US equity market.

Directional Oscillator

This tool is designed to measure the changing balance of supply and demand for the

subject security. The Signal Line and Confirmation Line oscillate above and below the

Equilibrium line. When these lines are above or moving upward toward equilibrium, s

that there is more demand than supply and prices rise. When these lines are moving

down, this indicates that there is more supply than demand and prices fall. Directional

shifts are typically signaled by extreme peaks or valleys in the graph. When the

Confirmation Line crosses the Signal Line and they both trend in the same direction a

momentum trend has been identified.

When used with the weekly closing index value of the S&P500 Index, this indicator

provides very accurate insight into the intermediate term supply and demand flows.

Momentum Trend Indicator

The MTI is designed to monitor the directional trend movement and trend strength as

asset prices progress in the Mark-up and Mark-down phases of the Wyckoff Idealized

Cycle. This indicator is used to maintain positions in assets through the use of simple

trend lines marked along the confirmation line. Once the trend line is breached this

likely represents the beginning of the counter trend formation.

This indicator has a correlation coefficient of approximately +.92 to any asset price

series it may be applied to, which indicates a positive, highly predictive relationship.

Both the Directional Oscillator and Momentum Trend Indicator can be used for any

index or traded security and provides very useful information for determining when to

enter and exit a position.

The Directional Oscillator, Momentum Trend Indicator and relative Volatility Index can

Method of Analysis

Each of the indicators/indexes is analyzed using the Directional Oscillator, the

Momentum Trend Indicator and the Relative Divergence Indicator. Each of these tools

has a signal and confirmation component. Each is analyzed for three states; Up, No

Trend and Down. Each state is assigned a score. The total of these scores is used to

form the Momentum Trend Score.

Further the Directional Oscillator is also used to determine the state of Supply &

Demand for each indicator/index. Supply & Demand is then categorized into thirteen

states, each with its own numeric value. The Supply/Demand score is added to the

Momentum Trend Score to determine the Market Investment State. This ensures that

the allocation of capital and assumption of market risk is balanced with the proper trend

characteristics as well as a favorable Supply/Demand dynamic.

Fundamental Analysis…

But we don’t rely exclusively on technical analysis as we draw conclusions about the condition and status of the markets. We also provide our Subscribers a fundamental context in which to view the markets and our conclusions and recommendations.

Portfolio Research Partners analysis’s research the markets with the following primary objectives:

When Subscribers should be exposed to long risk positions in the equity markets;

When should Subscribers liquidate positions and protect profits, and;

When are markets positioned so the Subscribers can profit from short positions as markets decline.

Because we can spot trend changes with a high degree of accuracy, our strategies enable you to move to the safety of cash or employ certain hedging strategies in times of volatility. Many Subscribers actually put on counter trend or short positions during these periods to make money during downturns in markets.

Remember Warren Buffet’s famous quote:

11

“Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful”

That is exactly our goal with Market Master; to have you exposed to risk assets when the risk/reward is favorable and to be protected when markets become too risky.

Still don’t believe that we have a better mouse trap? Consider this example…..

The S&P500 index gained 211 index points that year rising from 1848 to 2059 by year’s end, representing an 11.42% gain (excluding dividends).

During 2014 our suite of analytic tools signaled 4 market cycles. These cycles began in early 2014 and continued thru December of that year.

These cycles represented price volatility of 51.9%. More specifically during these cycles the positive volatility was 21.46% and the negative volatility was 30.47%.

This means that by using our proprietary analytics you get with our Market Master publication your long portfolio would have gained 21.46% by simply avoiding the market draw downs. That is about a 2oo% improvement as opposed to a simple buy and hold approach.

Our more aggressive subscribers realized an almost 500% improvement over buy and hold by not only preserving gains during the draw downs but profiting from these opportunities by using inverse Exchange Traded Funds during these volatile periods.

All in all, during 2014 you could have realized a 52% gain by making just 8 adjustments to your portfolio. That is repositioning once every 2 ½ months. It is that simple with Market Master!

MOST INVESTORS UNDERPERFORM THE MARKETS…

….according to a recent study completed by the University of California Graduate School of Management, individual investors tend to:

Underperform standard benchmarks for investment returns;

Have an ad hoc approach to investing and portfolio management;

Sell winning investments while holding onto losers;

Be heavily influenced by past performance, media hype and anecdotal recommendations;

Hold undiversified portfolios, and;

Buy & sell at exactly the wrong time.

All of these mistakes are eliminated by using Market Master and the proprietary analytics developed by Portfolio Research Partners.

Let the other guys play on fear and greed, we provide a system and the tools to get it right and you become one of the winners instead of one of the losers, a Master of the Market.

Another big mistake individual investor’s make is diluting portfolio returns by paying exorbitant fees to brokers and advisors who never beat the broad market benchmarks. Why would you pay fees that could amount to 50% or more of your portfolio earnings AND pay fees when the markets goes down to boot?

Did you know that in 2012 90% of professional money managers underperformed the S&P 500, according to US News?

In fact, in an interview with the New York Times, Jeff Kelley, an analyst with Morningstar

Inc. in Chicago says:

“Are institutional money managers more skillful? No says Mr. Kelley. He

went on to say that lower expenses are the real source of the superior

performance”.

Most individual investors try to fix this by buying mutual funds. The problem with mutual funds is that, according to Forbes Magazine, the average cost of owning a mutual fund was 4% per year. This often includes fees charged to you for sales and marketing costs of the fund to new investors. Do you really want to pay for the fund getting new customers?

For example, one Subscriber named Phillip Devereaux from New Orleans, LA sent in this note recently:

“Market Master is a publication that finally enabled me to

understand the market trends and start making money in the stock

market. Before I became a Market Master subscriber, I would

just buy stocks that I heard about on CNBC or that my broker or

friends would tell me about. These were well known companies

but as soon as I would buy them, the market would go down. It

got so frustrating that I just didn’t have the confidence to

manage my own money. With market Master I now have the

confidence to be in the market because I know Portfolio Research

Partners will get me out when the trend is about to change. I

have even made money with a few short positions when the

indicators signal a down turn. Thank you Portfolio Research

Partners.”

Frankly, you may have considered other financial publications, many people do. There are many (newsletters) that promise the next “Get Rich Quick” scheme, or a 1,000% return on some penny stock that no one has ever heard of. There are many offers like that out there. This is not one of those.

Here are a few facts to consider:

It is really difficult to make money in markets. That is because the markets are a zero sum game. If you make money, someone else has to lose money.

Most individual investors never make money in the markets after taking into account fees, commissions, transaction costs, taxes and inflation.

The system is rigged against investors with fees and costs. Your broker and advisor have private school tuition and country club dues to pay.

Most advisors never advise you to take gains which often times results in you losing most or all of your gains when the market corrects.

Since everyone is trying to win, and someone has to lose, you need tools and

15

techniques that give you a winning advantage. We can help…….

The only way to accumulate wealth in the market is to apply a consistent strategy, manage risk, keep costs low and earn an above market return over the long term.

Portfolio Research Partners is dedicated to helping you do this. We don’t provide investment advice based on your particular financial situation, but we do make general recommendations that you may chose to follow.

WHAT DOES THE MARKET MASTER NEWSLETTER COST?...

What is a fair price for an e-publication such as this? Prices for other publications range from $99/year to thousands of dollars. Since the goal is to provide ideas that will result in profits for our Subscribers, then it makes sense that the price should be based on the profit potential.
