Speculative Investment Management

Dear Investor:

Thank you for considering my managed account plan. Following is my current table of managed account results:

Managed Money Report as of 12/31/2009 Beginning August 1, 2005, I became a Registered Investment Advisor managing client speculative funds using Stock Index Mutual Funds. Client accounts are held at a Mutual Fund Company or Broker Dealer. Currently I am registered with Rydex Funds and Interactive Brokers. The account is "your" individual account or "your" IRA. I take a "trading power" over the account that limits me to only placing orders on the account and to submit my quarterly management fee. The market timing trading strategy followed in the accounts includes using long or short funds and ETF positions, but does not necessarily match the recommendations in the weekly Stock Index Timing .com newsletter.  When you set up an account at Rydex or Interactive Brokers and give me trading power of attorney, the account gets set up in my managed "group" and this lets me move between long or short the market with just a few keystrokes online. I send them one bill each quarter for my management fee of .5% of account balances at the end of the quarter (2% annual rate) and they just charge the account and send me a check. It really works easy. Also, Rydex does not charge any commissions for switching around within their funds, and commissions at Interactive Brokers are the lowest rates I can find. With very low or no commissions, I can go back and forth without hesitating about transaction costs being too high for small accounts. Sometimes, as the financial representative on the account, the funds that I use at Rydex (the double short and the double long funds) pay me an annualized one quarter of one percent trailing fee for using such fund. You can see that my returns are very speculative. I suggest you only let me manage funds like they were just one speculative investment in one stock. If you have a million dollars in stock market investments, maybe you would put $50,000 to $100,000 in an account for me to manage. Just a portion of your speculative funds. Thanks for considering my managed account program. Following are my managed account actual results compared to the total returns of the S&P 500: Actual results to 12/31/09 All transaction costs and managements fees reflected.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of futures results. I accept only "speculative funds" (in either a regular account or IRA) for management and charge an annual fee of 2% of the account value.
