Trendinvestor Capital Management - Mechanical & Discretionary Systems

Our systems are developed so that essentially they should work in both Bull and Bear markets. From our research we noticed that the primary trend that exists in all markets was the easiest to identify. We also noticed that for a primary bull trend to exist then quite simply you have to have more up days than down days. The skill was not to try and time the market but to watch carefully for a primary trend change. We believe in the saying that the “trend is your friend until it ends”.

The first system we developed is called the Trendinvestor Capital Management - Mechanical System, using this system we were able to not only ride the 90,s bull market to its conclusion but also to reverse position and go short the market in October 2000, in 2002 we launched our website. A final thought Warren Buffet the worlds most successful investor and 2nd richest man in the world! has made a 22.2% average return for the last 40 years. Throughout the same period the S&P 500 has a 10.4% average return. Our thinking is, that by accurately identifying the primary trend and applying the use of limited leverage it is possible to achieve very substantial gains maybe even greater than Mr Buffet's !. What is required is time and a lot of patience. Wall Street are correct in a Bull market you buy and hold but when the primary trend changes you switch to cash or reverse into a short position. 

The Trendinvestor Capital Management - Discretionary System started at the beginning of 2005 simply involves the experienced "Discretion" of Ceri Shepherd in an attempt to hopefully beat the purely mechanical system. Sometimes this happens, and sometimes not.
