One way I justify spending time on the MarketSci Blog is it gives me an opportunity once a month to share with readers our independently-audited trading results. Click for more information about accessing our original MarketSci strategies via a managed account, or our YK Strategy via either a subscription or managed account.

MARKET SCI TRADING STRATEGIES

All of our MarketSci portfolios did well in November despite another ugly month in the market. Our ProFunds, Rydex, Direxion, and Unleveraged Index portfolios returned +3.5%, +4.2%, -0.5%, and +0.9% respectively, compared to -7.5% for the S&P 500.

The graph below shows the monthly realtime returns of our four portfolios since inception compared to the S&P 500. Note: ProFunds (red) and Rydex (green) portfolios launched in 01/2006, and Direxion (purple) and Unleveraged Index (blue) portfolios in 06/2006.

The MarketSci strategies have their own website: MarketSci.com. Go there to see our most up-to-date audited returns and learn more about accessing MarketSci via a managed account.

YK TRADING STRATEGY

Executed properly, YK should have returned approx. -1.2% in November, but due to a mistrade on our part early in the month, we turned in an ugly -8.8%.

The markets have stabilized somewhat (at least relative to October and early-November) and I’m excited about the opportunity to get back in the saddle and close out the year strong. Click to find out more about the YK Strategy, including our most up-to-date audited returns.
