Get the portfolio with 18 times the performance of the S&P.
Will your portfolio beat the market like the flagship portfolios of Fredhager.com?

With a 394% return, Fredhager.com’s portfolio B delivered 18 times the return of the S&P
Dear Investor,
The turbulent markets over the past few years have left many investors wondering if investing in the market is a smart thing to do. It is no wonder that investors can feel that way. As the large investment banks combined a passion for home ownership with a lust for profits and too much leverage on subprime mortgages, they almost destroyed the economy.
This is certainly not the first time the markets have discouraged investors. Back in the early 2000’s things were similar. Investors had their fill of the meltdown in stocks and a nagging recession. It’s at times like that the smartest investors realize when it’s time to get in the market and take advantage of conditions.
The conditions in 2002 led Fredhager.com to predict in early October that this was likely close enough to a market bottom if not “the” market bottom and it was time to get in, not out, of the market.
Many investors had pretty good returns from the fall of 2002 until the meltdown brought on by the financial crisis of 2007. But by late 2007, investor gains from the broader market had evaporated. A strong rally in 2009 brought back some sense that the market was a good place to be. Yet for the most part investors had a sense that they had lost a decade to meager returns.
Looking at the total return from fall of 2002 to July of 2010 one realizes that even the DOW and S&P managed to post a gain despite all the turmoil. Both the DOW and S&P managed to deliver a total return of over 20% in the period. While that may be better than it felt like for most investors, it is certainly nothing to write home about.
Investors in Fredhager.com’s flagship portfolios A and B have done much better.
The Hulbert Financial Digest tracks hundreds of investment newsletter portfolios. The Fredhager.com portfolio B has outperformed every one of them over this period except for 1.
In the same period that the DOW and S&P managed to deliver just over 20% returns, Fredhager.com’s flagship portfolio A and B delivered 110% and 394%! Whether getting 18 times the performance of the S&P is something to write home about or not is for you to decide. But our subscribers are certainly happy to have achieved it.
While we would have loved to have done even better in our flagship portfolios we are certainly proud to have beaten the benchmark S&P and DOW indices by such a wide margin. Better yet our subscribers are way ahead of the herd of investors that ponder whether long term investing is dead or whether their 401K’s will ever actually grow.

While the broader markets have done better since 2009, the flagship portfolios of Fredhager.com are again outperforming the market according to the independent audit of the Hulbert Financial Digest. Portfolio A is up 48.4% and Portfolio B is up 79.9% since 2009 (to July 2010) while the DOW and S&P are up just over 8% and 10%.
Whether it was in the turbulence of the last several years or in the recovering market we’ve had since 2009, the key to delivering multiples of market performance has been owning the right stocks.
Identifying a Profit Making Dynamic...Investment Focus
One of the keys to outperforming the market is in understanding that it is always a market of stocks. Perhaps more important is understanding that the market must reward companies that are delivering even in light of overall conditions. Something is always working in our investment focus areas and we work hard to identify what it is. We are not talking about for a week or a month but for the long term.
One of our key investment focus ideas that has led to recent success is the trend to mobile digital multimedia. In a special report we focused on five pillar technology areas critical to the trend. While not every stock has been a homerun in this historically turbulent market, the outperformers have really made a market beating difference.
We believe there is something fundamental about our approach. In fact we feel we don’t even have to be bullish on the market as a whole as we are simply bullish on our stock picks.
One example is contained in this free report. When you read the report you begin to recognize how research can identify a stock that need only follow its own path instead of the path of the overall market.
Certainly the market as a whole has disappointed investors from 2002 to date. Despite that, we do believe the market is presenting buying opportunities similar to the fall of 2002. But at the end of the next several years, which chart do you want to be looking at?
Like the last several years, we would still want to be looking at a chart of our flagship portfolio stocks versus the market. The key is owning the right stocks. Better still, we believe by owning the right stocks our subscribers will beat the market by even more over the next few years than they did over the past several.
A long term focus
With our long term focus investors have benefitted from the stock appreciation enjoyed by some of the greatest market successes in history. Fredhager.com’s long term investing advisory service has been around long enough to have predicted that Microsoft would have a market cap larger than IBM. Of course at the time that was considered an outlandish, perhaps even laughable prediction. At the time, IBM had a market cap of $57 billion while Microsoft could boast $14 billion.
"Chances are better than 75% that some time in the next 5 years the capitalization of Microsoft will exceed that of IBM."
"If his strategy succeeds, William H. Gates, Chairman of Microsoft, will be the richest man in the world."
Laughable indeed. Our subscribers laughed all the way to the bank as Microsoft became a dominant monopoly in PC software. Our subscribers enjoyed the same stock appreciation in Microsoft shares that led Bill Gates to indeed become the richest man in the world.
Unlike Mr. Gates, we no longer own Microsoft; but we are excited about the long term appreciation of a company giving Mr. Softy reason to worry about their still solid place in the computing space.
Similarly our call on the post internet bubble let our subscribers know that the eBay share price baby had been thrown out with the internet bath water. In August 2003 we told our subscribers to expect EBAY shares to double before 2005. They did. By using a strategy of Long-Term Equity Anticipation on EBAY, our subscribers pocketed a 2400% profit on the EBAY call.
While neither of these former portfolio stocks is leading our market beating performance since 2009, by using the long term profits from our historic gains we have already invested in the stocks to lead our subscribers to today’s market beating performance.
Settling for Lackluster Performance
Today’s market is challenging but you certainly could be enjoying the returns of our flagship portfolios instead of the lackluster multiyear near standstill and rather meager recovery period performance being delivered by the DOW and S&P indices.
