Another Profitable Quarter for the Perfect Portfolio

Posted on by The INO.com Team

We first introduced the “Perfect Portfolio” theory in early October and posted updates here and here.

We plan to update the hypothetical “Perfect Portfolio” every quarter to show exactly how you can utilize what I believe is a very conservative, but profitable approach to markets. We're using four, very liquid and well known ETF's that I believe are going to be very important in the investment world for the next three years.

The results of the “Perfect Portfolio” for Q4 were as follows: The ETF GLD that tracks gold bullion managed to gain 8.55% for the quarter. Our next ETF, FXE which tracks the Euro, suffered a small loss of 2.9% for the quarter. The star performer for the quarter was USO, which tracks crude oil. This market had a positive return of 8.63%. Our last ETF is SPY, which tracks the S&P 500, and this market put in a very respectable 5.63% return at the end of December.

The average return for the “Perfect Portfolio” for the quarter was 5.13%. This was lower than some other quarters simply because the markets were less volatile. In the future we expect this portfolio to continue to do well and we will be reporting on this blog on a quarterly basis with the results.

If you have any questions on the hypothetical “Perfect Portfolio” and how you can use this strategy with your own account and brokerage company please feel free to contact our office at 410-867-2100. Any one of our professional member relationship team can help answer questions on the “Perfect Portfolio”.

Update on the Perfect Portfolio

Posted on by The INO.com Team

The month of November proved to be the perfect month for the Perfect Portfolio.

Out of the four markets that we track in the Perfect Portfolio, we’ve made money in three of them. To put it another way, the Perfect Portfolio was 75% correct. The biggest winner was our GLD position that tracks gold which gained 12.77% for the month. The next winner was SPY, which tracks the S&P 500 index. It went up 6.06%. Next to that was our position in the FXE which tracks the euro. This market produced a positive gain of 1.99% from November. The only ETF that disappointed us was the crude oil market which we used the symbol USO to track. This produced a negative return of .45%.

All-in-all, the Perfect Portfolio outperformed most other diversified strategies.

For the month of November we saw a positive gain overall of 5.09%. If you haven't watched our Perfect Portfolio video you can watch it here.

What A Great Day For The Perfect Portfolio

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Well, it was quite a day for The Perfect Portfolio. Three of the four markets we shared with you in our earlier video, The Perfect Portfolio (you can watch it here), scored impressive gains.

In today's action we saw the dollar go down (we are long in the ETF FXE +.48), we saw crude oil jump dramatically (we are long in the ETF USO +. 94), we watched gold reverse and move higher for the day (we are long the ETF GLD +.31), and finally we saw the S&P 500 move lower  (we are long in the ETF SPY -.97).

All in all, a great day for The Perfect Portfolio. If you missed our perfect portfolio video, I strongly recommend that you take a look at it. I believe no matter what economic conditions we go through in th next 36 months that this portfolio will protect and grow your capital.

The video is free to watch and there are no registration requirements. We hope to hear from you on our blog.

Enjoy the video, all the best.
