Mission Statement
NorthOfTheBlue
With Our Unique
BLUE MOVING AVERAGE
Portland, Ore
I don't know your name so please bear with just "Hello" from me, Richard J. Brenneke, the Managing Partner of North of the Blue.
.
We spend a lot of space in this web site and time on our videos talking about North of the Blue and its personnel. That's appropriate because you need to know this and learn something about these Stock and Mutual Fund Technical Analysis Programs we have successfully offered "You" for over ten years. I suppose that the Southern "You All" would be more appropriate. Anyway ...
I have several basic questions that I ask prospective clients when I get to talk to them.
My questions start with this one: Do you invest in stocks, bonds, ETFs or mutual funds or are you planning to invest in one or more of these in the near future? About half of the time folks tell me that they already invest in one or more of these instruments. Almost all of the others say that they definitely will be investing in stocks or funds in the near future.
This in spite of the horrible market we have been through and the possibility of a double dip inflation.
The next question is an easy one for me. How are you doing? Are you making money? Most everyone tells me that their investing produces mixed results. Some stocks or mutual funds have produced gains and some losses. Most folks find their gains and losses hard to quantify, so I just ask whether most of their investments result in gains. Hems and haws to this question although everyone has a really significant gainer they can hardly wait to tell me about. Losses, not so much.
Now I get to the part that really interests me. How do you decide what stocks to buy? Tips from friends, advisors and brokers are always interesting and we often spend some time discussing who has the best and broadest knowledge. Advisors rank first and brokers a close second. In laws are a near third.
Here is the question that really intrigues me: Do you follow any rules in buying or selling? Almost always this results in a blank stare.
At the start of this millennium my business partner and I set out to develop an investment analysis program that would provide each of us, with our different goals and risk tolerances, and a 12% per year return. Here was our thinking. If a person or family had one hundred thousand dollars invested, think about how lives would change if they could earn $1,000 every month. Vacations that were on hold could be taken. Vehicles could be replaced more often. College tuition assistance would become a reality.
You know what I mean. So trash the "get rich quick" programs and settle in to reality. Our reality.
We achieved our goal and then some. After my partner went on to other things, I carried North of the Blue forward. Others joined me and found a new reality. Now I invite you to join us and, with our tool, see how we did this. One caution, though: There is no limit on excellence. We frequently exceeded this 12% goal. We hope that you do too.
Now,we all know that past performance is absolutely no guarantee of future performance. I know that and you know that. But, would you rather use a technical analysis system with an eleven year long track record of success or take a flyer with someone who has lots of flash and substance. Give us a try. You get a free-no-credit-card get acquainted period because we know what many before you have chosen. Even if you just do paper trades for this get acquainted period you'll see a real difference in your confidence and judgment.
So, call if we can help and enjoy your free trial. One final thought, beginning this fall we will again hold seminars. Watch your email for more information.
Sincerely,
Richard J. "Dick" Brenneke
