Laurent LaBrie starts collaboration with Moneywatch Advisors, Inc.
MONEYWATCH ADVISORS, INC. and I have recently signed a
collaborative agreement that will permit us to team up to permit the
management of your portfolio and assistance in meeting your financial
needs. Moneywatch is over 24 years old and is a registered investment
advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Florida
Department of Securities, the Kentucky Division of Securities and the
Maine Department of Securities. Over 340 clients have employed
Moneywatch or its predecessor MONEYWATCH CORPORATION since 1980.
Moneywatch provides continuous advice on investments, consistent with a
client's individual needs and financial objectives.
Total investment capital owned by its 160 clients and principals of the
company approximate $121-million. The average portfolio is $741,000.00.
But, I will work with portfolios as small $50,000, under certain
circumstances.
This will permit you, your family, and your friends to benefit from the 13 years of outstanding results that you have been monitoring in Markets Outlook and its hardcopy predecessor, Longs, Shorts, and Mini-Skirts. As the government requires me to tell you, these outstanding results may or may not continue in the future, but so far we have beat most mutual funds. Plus, you know my character and upon request, my client recommendations are available.
I can customize your portfolio to be one of the following:
- US stocks
- global stocks (US and international)
- bonds
- commodities
- balanced (all of the above)
- balanced
bull-and-bear which includes shorting or options that could
benefit from a fall in stocks.
Studies have shown that most mutual funds have a habit of
getting in and out at the wrong times so don't do as well as the
benchmarks, and individuals get in and out of mutual funds at the wrong
time. So, the average investor in mutual funds probably does at least 2% worse than the markets and pays mutual funds 2-3% in fees.
By investing, you can use your resources to help businesses, stimulate
jobs, or help the governments, in the US and in second- and third-
world countries. If instead of getting 4-5% worse than the market,
people could get 2% better like they did last year, that a 6-7%
advantage for their retirement, children, God, or wherever they end up
putting their talents.
Since most mutual fund managers haven't been picking stocks for 30
years like I have, most haven't invested in bear markets like we had
2001-2002 and which I believe will return. As a result, people saw
their investments get trashed. Since I advised my clients against being
in the tech stocks, we avoided most of the fall. While the stock market
from 1998-2002 lost 2%, followers of
the Markets Outlook earned
74%. (Past performance not necessarily indicative of future performance.)
My clients have doubled their investments with me within a year, so you
know the results must be good. If you would like a reference from
them, please let me know.
