The History:
The
company that was to become You Capitalize LLC was formed in early 1990 by a
group of astute investors and lifelong students of the markets. Together we
began the painstaking process of developing a strategy that would achieve the
goal of outperforming the market over the long-term while incurring less risk
than we would by simply holding the total stock market. Armed with more than
67 years of reliable economic data, two years of
many late nights and much debate, our flagship Asset Allocation System was
ready for real-time action.

The Proprietary Strategies:
The You Capitalize Asset Allocation
System™ is a 100% mechanical (computerized) market timing system, which completely eliminates
the fear/greed factor. Our system is designed to anticipate cyclical
(intermediate-term) market trends, which are cycles inside the
secular (long-term) trends. The system measures certain key
indicators and the underlying risks by the continual monitoring of the U.S.
markets, the economy, including fiscal and monetary policies. The results are
then optimized through the asset allocations for each model portfolio.
The methodology behind the
You Capitalize Contrarian Wave™ is based on three factors, the seasonal and linear
trading patterns of the stock market along with the use of certain key
investor sentiment indicators. The Wave is the product of many years of testing and is
designed to recognize opportunities as the tide is about to turn. These
opportunities can be seized with our Short-Term Signals.
The You Capitalize
Valuation Model™ is used to measure the intrinsic value of individual securities as
well as the indices of the market. As we make our daily scan of the
marketplace this model in a nut shell, tells us what to buy or sell. The
question of when to buy or sell is answered with the use of the You Capitalize
Technical Model™. Various combinations of these powerful tools make up the content of
Stock Picker and Flip Side.
