The market research from the Technical Speculator is available in two publications. The first is the monthly newsletter. This online 12-14 page journal will be produced 11 times per year and covers the four markets; currencies, commodities, bonds and equities. This publication offers a broader coverage and is useful to those who require a more professional approach to their investing information. The annual cost is $120.00 plus applicable taxes.
The second report will cover the TS Model Growth Portfolios. These theoretical exchange traded fund (ETF) driven portfolios are available with CDN dollar securities and with USD securities.
Both portfolios utilize a top-down, relative strength format based on the business cycle and are long-term in their investment approach. Since inception in mid-2003, the Canadian and U.S. dollar portfolios have averaged over 12% per year.
All performance numbers are based on security returns before dividends. Reinvesting the dividends would add additional 2% to 3%.
