ISA Trend Investing is Proving a Profitable Choice for Investors

A new wave of investing coined 'ISA Trend Investing' is proving its 111C worth as investors across the country are finding their portfolios have surged by as much as 40% during the past six months, whilst the FTSE 100 gained just 5.9% and the Nasdaq Composite a mere 2.7% over the same period.

Devised by professional stock market investor and millionaire author Stephen Sutherland, whose own personal ISA portfolio has gained 40.1% in just under six months, ISA Trend Investing works on the premise of using Stocks & Shares ISAs as opposed to Cash based ISAs. Sutherland now has an army of investors following his lead who have revealed that ISA Trend Investing has literally thrashed their other investment strategies by showing extraordinary growth despite a depressed economy.

1110

"20 weeks ago I invested following Stephen's lead and so far that investment is up 48%. I also placed a second purchase 17 weeks ago and this one has gained 11.77%. That means over a 20 week period, I've seen a tax-free gain of 30.074% on my original capital. That's quite astounding considering that the stock market over that same period has hardly budged," says John Clark, who is one of many investors to make substantial gains in their portfolio by switching to ISA Trend Investing.

"With ISA Trend Investing, when the trend is con?rmed up, you look to buy the highest quality Investment Funds. You search for funds that can be purchased within a Stocks and Shares ISA. You do not buy individual stocks as they carry too much risk. You do not buy index tracker funds because it is possible to "beat" the indexes if you know what you are doing. Instead of simply buying and holding, you are active. By understanding the overall trend or direction of the market, you invest into the market when the con?rmation of the trend is up, and switch out of the market when the con?rmation of the trend is down," explains Sutherland, whose book Liquid Millionaire (£21.97, AuthorHouse) was released last month.

Sutherland also reveals that further gains can be made with SIPP Trend Investing, which can be run in parallel with ISA Trend Investing.

"Whichever investment fund you buy with your ISA, you buy the same fund with your SIPP. That means if you get a 20% annual return on your ISA, you get a 20% annual return on your SIPP," confides Sutherland. "Some would say our portfolio performance over recent months has been astounding. The key to this performance is correctly reading the market's trend and pinpointing the best investment funds; the ones that are in sync with the market's trend," he adds.

Notes to Editor

Stephen Sutherland is the UK's leading authority on ISA Trend Investing. Through his company, ISACO, clients get to shadow invest him, therefore making thesame returns as him. Ste 1F9C phen's clients include the original pioneer of health clubs in the UK, a leading authority in cosmetic, implant and restorative dentistry, a professional rugby player, a hedge fund manager and two serial property investors, who at the last count owned 150 properties between them.

Bellingham & Whatcom County Real Estate Statistics - August Comparisons

Real estate sales numbers in both Bellingham and Whatcom County continued to drop in August 2008, with 40% fewer home sales than in August of 2007 as reported by The Johnson Team at http://www.johnsonteamrealestate.com/blog. Average prices, on the other hand, varied widely from one area to another, with the average home in Bellingham selling for 14% more than a year ago, while the average home sale in Lynden dropped by almost 20%.

These numbers actually provide an excellent example of why it is important to look beyond the averages if we want a true picture of what the market is doing. For example, in August 2007, no homes in Bellingham sold for $1,000,000 or more and only one sold in the $900,000 range. In August 2008, one home sold for $3,300,000 and two others sold at more than $900,000. Those differences have a dramatic influence on the average price of a Bellingham home. Median prices are more indicative of actual swings in value. The median price in Bellingham increased 0.2%. For Whatcom County as a whole, average home prices were up 4.1%, while the median sales price dropped by 3.3%.... (Continue reading)

Government Grinch: Handmade Toy Alliance Decries CPSIA Legislation That Harms Small Toymakers

It's not a movie, but the looming nightmare before Christmas for the Handmade Toy Alliance is the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which threatens to put small toymakers and retailers out of business when it goes into effect in February, 2009.

Passed by Congress last August, the CPSIA was designed to prevent the problems caused by large China-based toy manufacturers that failed to control quality and turned 2007 into "The Year of The Recall". The CPSIA legislation mandates third party testing and batch labeling of all children's products -- not just toys, but everything from cloth diapers to Barbie Dolls.... (Continue reading)
