Some of you may remember this famous bloggers' joust who had opposed me 4 years ago to The Private Investor. Those who have followed me from the beginning also know that before coming to invest in dividends I alternated for a long time between fundamental analysis and technical analysis.
For the past six years, I have focused on value investing, particularly in growing dividends. But I have also always paid particular attention to diversification, and how to hedge against market risk and currency risk. With this in mind, a year ago I started thinking about a way to combine dividend investing and trading. The idea was to be able to generate growing income from dividends, while preserving invested capital during bear markets.
Dividend-paying stocks generally react quite well to economic crises and bear markets, but they still end up going down a bit. So I needed to find a solution that would allow me to generate capital gains in all weathers, whether the markets are bullish, bearish, or flat.
After many months of reflection, design and testing, which required a complete overhaul of the site in the background, even going so far as to have to change host, I am today able to announce the launch in the coming days of the Trading Auto Signal.
This tool will allow members to trade dividend-paying stocks based on their rating and market signals. It will also allow them to hedge against market declines and reduce the volatility of their portfolio.
Let the die-hard fundamentalists rest assured: the entire basic philosophy of dividend investing remains the same, as do the tools/strategies/portfolios available. The Trading Auto Signal is just one more (big) tool.
Further information will be provided to you shortly.
All paying members (registered before March 12, 2016) will be able to benefit from this new tool free of charge until the end of their subscription current (no renewal after March 12, 2016).
They just have to answer, until March 19, 2016 at the latest, to the following 7 questions, which will allow me to judge their loyalty:
