Today I want to tell you about a strategy that could make you a lot of money.

You probably haven’t heard much about it. That’s because up until recently, our publishers made this investing system available only to a select group of loyal StreetAuthority readers.

But now, we’re ready to open it up to the wider public.

#-ad_banner-#First, a little background… 

This system comes on the back of about three and a half years of development. We compiled a motley crew of experts to build it: two StreetAuthority veterans, a licensed, Certified Market Technician (CMT), an accountant, a financial advisor, and even a college-aged computer whiz. 

Needless to say, each of these team members brought their own unique expertise to the table — and each had their own strong opinions about “what works” in the world of investing. 

After spending countless hours reading through academic research, building computer algorithms and backtesting results, the team came up with a system that we think could make you more money in the stock market than anything we’ve ever created before.

In short: it solves one of the most common problems every investor faces — how to get bigger gains in a shorter amount of time.

I have to admit, when we first began the project, I was a little skeptical. After all, an investing system that promises to deliver bigger gains in a shorter amount of time sounded an awful lot like “trading.”

And most people equate trading with moving in and out of stocks in a matter of hours or days, racking up huge commissions and ignoring fundamentals altogether. 

Let me be clear: the vast majority of investors should not be doing that sort of trading. It’s a great way to lose your shirt.

Now before I go any further, let me tell you that what we ended up with has nothing to do with options, short-selling or anything complicated.

The truth is a trading system can be as complicated or as simple as you want. And in my experience, simple is better.

So with this in mind, our team put their heads together and got to work.

We dug through academic journals… SEC filings… government data…

We “stress-tested” a number of strategies to see how they performed during bear markets, wars, inflation, deflation, bubbles… even a currency crisis. If a particular strategy hadn’t outperformed the market for at least 30 years, then we didn’t bother with it.

We call our discovery the Maximum Profit system.

It’s a simple, yet elegant strategy. It uses two of the most reliable indicators in the investing universe — one fundamental, one technical — to identify when a rising stock is likely to continue rising and outperform the market. 

But perhaps even more important, the system is just as focused on when to sell as when to buy. 

A good set of trading rules tells you when to let your winners run and when to cut your losses short. This protects investors from the wild swings we’ve seen in the market over the past few years.

The result: bigger returns in a fraction of the time.

By our calculations, this system would have produced gains of more than 570% in the past decade. In other words, if you put $100,000 in this system a decade ago, then it would be worth more than $670,000 today.

Also, this simple strategy would have helped you steer clear of market crashes. In the 2008 financial crisis, this system would have gotten you out of the market five months before the bottom. And it would have gotten you back in just four days after the bottom.

What makes the Maximum Profit system so different is that it’s designed to give investors a simple set of rules with clear buy and sell signals. Having a set of rules — whether you’re trading or investing — is paramount. As my colleague Jimmy Butts, who runs our Maximum Profit service, likes to say, rules take the emotion of out of investing. They provide discipline.

Since we went live with the Maximum Profit system, the average holding period for a trade has been just a few months. Most people who claim to invest for the long-term have an average holding period of less than that.

And the results have been amazing.

With a few loyal StreetAuthority subscribers investing alongside Jimmy and his team, the Maximum Profit system has outperformed the market and delivered the highest total return of any StreetAuthority newsletter over the past two years. Some of his picks have boasted gains of 17%… 40%… even 181%.

There’s a lot more to say about the Maximum Profit system. That’s why my colleague Jimmy Butts has prepared a special video presentation that explains all the details, including how you can get access to all of his latest recommendations. If you want to learn more, simply follow this link.
