Newsletter for Small Investors Outperforms Nasdaq, S&P 500
Investing Newsletter for Small Investors Outperforms Nasdaq, Doubles S&P 500 for 2004
ARLINGTON, Tx., Jan 3, 2005 -- The Investing With Mom Advisory Newsletter achieved a 13.6% return
in the first 3 months since Andy Prior launched service. Subscribers to Andy Prior's Advisory Newsletter
have averaged 13.6%, excluding dividends, over the first 3 months, since the initial launch after the
markets close on Oct. 1st, 2004. This compares quite favorably to the NASDAQ's return of 11.4% over the
same period and is exactly double the S&P 500's return of 6.8%.
Local Author Inspires Young Man to Launch Investment Newsletter for Small Investors
After reading John Mauldin's book 'Bull's Eye Investing: Targeting Real Returns in a Smoke and Mirrors
Market', Mr. Prior launched a new website aimed directly at helping small investors achieve hedge fund
like returns. "There is a definite void," says Mr. Prior, "in the investment newsletter world for a
service aimed directly at small investors." Mr. Prior defines small investors as those who would like to
begin investing, but have less than the $5,000 minimum necessary to purchase many funds.
Most small investors get eaten alive by the fees that even low-cost online brokerages like E*Trade
charge. Mr. Prior has found ways that small investors can get started with less than $100 and make
unlimited trades for an entire year, for less than the cost of 10 trades at a "low-cost" brokerage, like
E*Trade. "I believe that small investors should have the same opportunities as everyone else." In fact,
that's how Mr. Prior got his mom started with her first investment portfolio. Since getting started just
15 months ago, Mr. Prior has generated a cumulative 42.5% return for his mom's portfolio, or over 33.9%
annually.
More About The Advisory Portfolio
The Advisory's Portfolio is definitely a well-rounded stock portfolio, as 5 different countries besides
the US are represented: Canada, China, Brazil, South Africa and Israel are all represented. With a bias
towards commodities, currencies and high yields, Mr. Prior believes that the Advisory portfolio should do
even better in 2005, but he also understands that he won't always be able to repeat the 54% annualized
return achieved in the 4th quarter of 2004.
"I'll settle for beating the general market's return, by generating a positive absolute return on an
annual basis, year in and year out," said Mr. Prior. "Because that would beat the vast majority of fund
managers out there, and make our portfolio very successful." Looking forward into 2005, Mr. Prior
believes that we will see a continued drop in the dollar, "but it will be a bumpier ride and it won't
drop as far as it did last year." In addition, while he believes that the markets may in fact end 2005
positive, "they will be fortunate to outperform the Dow's 2004 performance of just 3.6%, plus dividends."
