SYNOPSIS
The markets are still moving up and volatility is virtually non-existent, if VIX is your volatility gauge. The markets were fairly quiet (i.e. low volume) moving into the Christmas weekend.

PTP… Our ProfiTrend Portfolio APAR (annualized price appreciation rate) pulled back to 85% last week. The S&P/TSX Composite Index APAR fell to 27%; and the S&P 500 APAR was lower as well at 26%. The decline in the PTP “speed of making money” score was mainly due to the sale of one our most profitable positions (+77% over 20 weeks). All good things come to an end, when a sell signal is triggered. We’ll be looking to our newer holdings to take up the slack and boost our score higher once again.

One of the problems with having a continuous stream of new subscribers coming onboard is that we’d like our new folks to catch up with the rest of us, while avoiding too much repetition for long-time subscribers. Sometimes we simply put a new spin on an old topic; but in that process, we sometimes lose a lot of the best parts of the previous coverage. To remedy this we are going to occasionally reprint previous editions that even precede the TrendWatch Weekly archives available to all members at the web site. This week we’ve retrieved our two-part series that reveals that the “Buffet Way” to riches is largely a myth.
