This page shows
the results obtained with our Turbo Model signals when investing in the ETF for the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), the Russell
2000 (IWM) or S&P 500 (SPY).
Please refer to the "Description" page
for all implementation details.
Please click a bulleted entry below to go to the corresponding location.
All results
are based on our Turbo Model, which went into effect
on October 18, 2011. Returns prior to that date
are backtested. Our calculations do not include commission costs,
margin costs or taxes. When in cash, during
Sell signals for the Long Only strategy,
calculations assume a 0% return (returns would be greater using a
money market fund instead of cash).

The chart below compares the growth of $10,000 invested with the Turbo Model applied to one of
the US index ETFs versus $10,000 invested with
Buy & Hold on the same index ETF. |

Performance
with individual security |
|
| You
can check how an investment vehicle of your choice (index, stock,
ETF, mutual fund) would have performed when traded according to our
Turbo Model signals. Please enter the corresponding
Long ticker and Inverse ETF Ticker. If you
need to find a specific ticker symbol you can look it up at Yahoo!
Finance. |
|
| 1
The "Inverse ETF Ticker" must be an "inverse" ETF.
If it is left blank, the Short portion of the model will be accomplished
by shorting the "Long Ticker" instead. |
