      The Best Stock of the Past 5 Years

 We believe that:

• Investment market forces are far to complex to be fully understood, predictable, or exploited by anyone over the long-term.
• Investors can reduce the market losses produced by normally recurring market adjustments by using modern, proven theories of portfolio management.
• Asset allocation across a broad range of investments such as stocks, bonds, real estate and alternative investments like commodities will reduce the “volatility” of returns.
• By incorporating a strategy of asset management using a fee-based professional advisor rather than a commissioned-based Wall Street agent, the investor can turn investment and retirement futures into achievable plans.
• The key to creating wealth in a portfolio is not having the best strategy at any point in time but in having a sustainable strategy over the long term.
• Once wealth has been created, then there is a need to protect it.
