The Psychology of Momentum and Trends• Momentum and trend investing work because of a basic human trait.
People imitate successful behavior. When they hear of others making money in the market, they buy in.
• Eventually the trend reverses. It may be merely the normal expansions and contractions of the business cycle. Sometimes the cause is more dramatic — an asset bubble, a major war, a pandemic, or an unexpected financial shock.
• When the trend reverses, successful investors sell early. The imitation of success gradually turns the previous buying momentum into selling momentum.
• You will never catch the top or bottom however you can board the train without getting crushed.

• Advance and Protect– We specialize in adding and removing risk when it is appropriate – The objective with any money management strategy should be to
reduce risk and maximize returns — with risk reduction being the most important factor.
• Total Return Capitalizes on Change– Invest with, and not against, the market – Advancing and declining markets can work in your favor.

Principal Protection Oriented
What most money managers and individual investors don't understand is that a loss is twice as important as a gain.
Protecting your capital in the down market years has an exponential effect on growing your capital over time.
The objective with any money management strategy should be to reduce risk and maximize returns — with risk reduction being the most important factor.
Invest with, and not against, the market and let the mathematics of an advancing and declining market work in your favor.
