Whenever I think about the markets or the systems I use to trade them, I force myself to be clear about the time frame that’s most important. Over the long run, a system’s performance is driven by its edge and its average efficacy. Over the long run, fundamentals driving the economy and markets are impactful and create multiyear trends that both last longer in time and extend further in price than most people can imagine.

I would normally have our monthly Infinite Momentum Alert portfolio review ready for you today, but I’ll have to postpone that until next Friday. If you missed last week’s recommended portfolio rotation, click here to get caught up. Next week, I’ll walk through how our portfolio performed over the previous four-week holding period.

Folks, the next Fed meeting is just five days away! A rate cut is nearly guaranteed; it’s only a matter of how big it will be.

September 22 will mark the one-year anniversary of welcoming our first charter members to Infinite Momentum Alert. And over the last year, we’ve learned a great deal about applying this radical new investing system to a changing marketplace. We’ve locked in a number of substantial gains, like our 85% gain on Tutor Perini (NYSE: TPC), our 43% gain on American Superconductor (Nasdaq: AMSC), and our 34% gain on Teekay Tankers (NYSE: TNK). We’ve also faced some headwinds as volatility rocked the market.

As you’ll see in the table below, our 10-stock portfolio netted a 1.1% return over the four-week holding period between July 26 and August 23. That’s a positive result … not hugely positive, of course. But as I’ll show you next week in my separate performance review of our first year trading the Infinite Momentum strategy, every little bit counts … and even a small- to medium-sized edge over the market can produce a tremendous total return advantage over the long run.
