Methodical
Bill, I really like your methodical, controlled, conservative investment style. Specifically, after achieving above-year-targets, your conservative preservation of the gain at 35.4%, is admirable. This is the kind of sound strategy which your subscribers benefit the most from.
Happy New Year, Stuart Cracraft

Disciplined Approach
To all subscribers: (posted on our Service Bulletin Board)
I have been a subscriber to Bill Ragsdale's letter for several years and it is the best of all investment letter I have followed. The hardest thing to do is to have the discipline to follow his signals and not to deviate. It is not much fun, but you only increase your wealth. Keep up the good work, Bill.

Conservative

Thanks for finally making Good Fortune available by e-mail. I do a lot of traveling, and it's great to know that I won't miss an issue when I'm on the road!

I've been a subscriber for about 3 years now, and am very (make that extremely!) pleased with the overall results of following your Maximum Compounding Plan.

Thanks to Good Fortune, we've been able buy a new house, and use some of our GF profits for the down payment. For the record, I had been a subscriber to the Fidelity Monitor for several years (actually I still subscribe, but more for reference only), and am just thrilled with your results vs. Fidelity Monitor's.

Keep up the good work! (Feel free to quote me!)

"Tried to go it Alone"

I hope you remember me. I was one of your first subscribers when you were advertising on Prodigy.

I took a buy-out from my company last year and have started day trading tech stocks for a living. I still have 95% of my portfolio with Fidelity including my retirement IRA.

I thought that I could manage my Fidelity funds using my system so I let my Good Fortune subscription expire. Well, I was wrong. Your system is the best I have seen and it just takes too much energy away from my day trading activities to even come close. Here is my renewal.

Thanks, Tony Barr, Mooresville, NC

 

"Exemplary"

The result is strongly exemplary towards showing a successful sector-based approach as compared to my years-past buy-and-hold.

I have no doubt now about continuing using strictly Good Fortune buy and sell signals only and not varying as I have roundly reviewed Good Fortune and advisory letter m and publicly stated my preference for Good Fortune solely.

So thanks for lending the expertise in your newsletter and I sure hope that you continue for AT LEAST 10 MORE YEARS!!!! I.E. DON'T "RETIRE" !!!!!!

Track Record

(On the day of the Dow 554 point decline) I was going to call last week and tell you what a phenomenal newsletter this is. And how year after year you've outperformed all the rest of those turkeys.

I got my newsletter this morning thinking that we'd be at about 31% and I see the gain is really up 50%. I don't know how you do it 'cause the rest of the people are jumping off tall buildings.

Again, I love your newsletter and I love your track record.

Beat Taxes and Inflation

Proven Since 1990. That's +17.62% annually

"In today's fast moving investment world, you need to be in touch without being tied up. You can move easily and naturally to your next level of success with the powerful and consistent process revealed in the weekly Good Fortune letter."

Bill Ragsdale
Author~Good Fortune

"Allocating investment across the three Good Fortune plans has produced clear profits over the years. The chart below simply shows the benefits of a systematic approach to mutual fund success."

Dear Investor,

The Good Fortune investment advisory letter uses a proven statistical model to achieve superior investment returns using Fidelity sector funds.

Nationally recognized and ranked by Hulbert Financial Digest, the Good Fortune Advisory Letter is a both a mutual fund Trading System, Market Timing Service, and source of sound Financial Life-Cycle Planning. We have been publishing Good Fortune for 15-years.

It provides timely information, clear, specific buy/sell instructions and a bright, informative editorial. We use an intensely researched, short diversified list of Fidelity mutual funds to achieve overwhelming profitability.

Each Thursday, starting at 4:00 p.m. I add the latest market data. Then my analytic computer program creates the priority list of funds from best to worse. Finally it confirms the optimum choice for growth, diversification and income.

After that I write-up the results for you along with commentary. The last feature in a brief editorial on an investment, retirement, tax, or legacy topic.

"To Your Good Fortune"
Year By Year

Just for the record, here's our year by year record of individual investment plan returns.


OUR OBJECTIVES: We give the private investor a system to maximize investment gain without the burden of becoming a financial expert.

We offer the returns previously restricted to personal money management clients without the high fees.

We simply give the funds to buy/sell and the specific day for best return and lowest volatility. No waffling, no reading between the lines on what is meant. The Goals are simple...

  • No losses over a 12 month period
  • Beat the S&P 500 Index by at least 5% a year.
  • Achieve at least 20%, 15% and 8% in our three investment plans
  • Financial lifecycle - provide the information and motivation for financial independence.

Our system usually requires just six to nine actions a year which are organized to avoid Fidelity's short-term exchange fee. As Fidelity has eliminated its one-time sales charge, you have no commissions or loads. Our holding periods are well under one year, so we pay short-term capital gains tax unless investing through an IRA, Keogh or 401(k) plan. Our goal is to beat the S&P 500 Index after these taxes and inflation.

We invite you to give it a try

Our investment approach is built on four sound principles:
Fund Selection, Trading, Market Timing and Asset Allocation.

Worked properly Its a powerful combination. We can make it very easy for you.

($) FUND SELECTION: We select mutual funds by a statistically proven computer model which ranks the best funds to hold based on their targeted gain over the next eight weeks. Let's face it... we are momentum investors.

We don't wait for undiscovered value; time is too short. Our average winner makes 4.4% in 9 weeks; our average loser drops 1.5%. That is enough for our clients to make 20% a year in our Maximum Compounding Plan.

($) TRADING Our system usually requires just six to nine actions a year. Fidelity has no sales charges in our funds and our strategy avoids their short term redemption fees and limitations. As our holding periods are well under one year, we pay a lot of short term capital gains tax.

This is still better than the "buy, hold and pray" that long term investors suffer with. When a better investment comes along we move to it promptly, not agonizing for months

($) ASSET ALLOCATION Good Fortune provides three investment plans for: Maximum Compounding, Diversification and Income. We guide subscribers on the highest gains in their early years and then how to diversify across the plans as their portfolio grows above $100,000.

You will be getting these signals when they occur in and a weekly market recap newsletter.

Imagine the comfort you can have knowing the market is with you when you get in, and switching when the time is right. That is Good Fortune Investing. And Quite a bargain at only 40 cents a day!

An 8 issue trial order is only $19.95 Once you see how beneficial the Good Fortune investment advisory letter is, you will want to become a permanent subscriber.

If you would like a full year subscription to Good Fortune, it is only $147.00 and comes with a 100 % money back guarantee. Order today and start letting your money work for you.
