The Stock-box service

Is the stock-box service for you?

You do not want investment funds. The results are often disappointing, the costs are not transparent. You want a portfolio consisting of individual stocks but without the complexity of selecting the stocks yourself?

The stock-box service maintains a good stock portfolio at a low cost. Objective criteria, including Nobel Prize research, are applied to systematically replace weak stocks with strong stocks. Keeping your portfolio up-to-date is simple... one click per month is sufficient. These are some of the benefits of this popular administrative service:

Selecting stocks and the Nobel Prize

With one exception, every stock-box uses a logic based on the Momentum principle discovered by Nobel Prize winner Professor Eugene Fama of the University of Chicago. In his research into the short term predictability of market prices Professor Fama could only discover one principle which consistently appeared: stocks which under-performed in the last months will continue to under-perform in the coming months and vice versa. He called this principle "Momentum". Momentum leads to a counter-intuitive conclusion: "far more money is being made by buying high (stocks which are out-performing) and selling even higher".

The stock-box service rigorously applies a logic based on Momentum. The service identifies the stocks which out-perform their index the most. Picking only winning stocks is not possible. Therefore the stock-box service quickly identifies weak stocks and replaces them by strong stocks.

How does the service work?

Open a stock account and add a copy of the stock-box information sheet to your application. Indicate on the sheet which stock-box(es) you want. Once the account is funded, it will be administered according to the Momentum principle.

Every month you receive an e-mail detailing the stocks which need to be changed in your stock-box(es). Simply click 'Yes' (or 'No') in the e-mail. Your portfolio will be updated. Simple and easy.
