Where should YOU be in the S&P 500?
Hello this is Adam Hewison and I’ve just returned from my daughter's wedding in New Zealand to see that we have some very interesting markets to start the New Year.
In today's short video we take a fresh look the S&P 500 and what we think it is going to do in 2010. We will also be looking at an important “Trade Triangle” that has just flashed an important signal for this index.
As always our videos are educational, free to watch, and there's no need to register. Enjoy the video and please feel free to leave your comments on our blog.
All the best to you in 2010,

How Did the World Cup Portfolio Fare in Q4?
The last quarter of '09 proved to be the sweetest quarter for the year for a World Cup Portfolio. For the quarter, we had a dollar return of $16,041.75 before commissions, which is approximately a 32% return on capital. The World Cup Portfolio (WCP) needs $50,000 to run and is based on double margins for every market. Double margins mean that by depositing twice the amount of money that is required by the exchanges, you are effectively de-leveraging the instrument you are trading.

With a 90% win rate, the World Cup Portfolio stands out as being an excellent investment vehicle over the long-term. It is interesting to note that the only market that has scored successfully in every quarter is the wheat market. The other five markets: corn, soybeans, crude oil, gold and the dollar index have all come in between the 80 and 90% range.
