SYNOPSIS
The US indexes (except Nasdaq) performed reasonably well last week, while Canadian stocks had fairly sharp declines. The trend rankings (slower to change direction) now have the DJI on top, followed closely by the S&P/TSX Small Cap Index.
ProfiTrend Portfolio… The annualized growth rate for the ProfiTrend Portfolio is now to +136%, up from 106% last time. Still well ahead of the benchmark indexes as usual.
Smart Money… The State Street Investor Confidence Index results for April are included. The Global ICI decreased to 114.3, down just 2.3 points from March’s revised reading of 116.6. Confidence among North American investors decreased with the North American ICI falling 6.9 points to 122.1, down from March’s revised reading of 129.1. Meanwhile, the European ICI rose by 5.4 points to 109.7 while the Asia ICI rose 2.4 points to 91.5. In general “The Smart Money” still prefers stocks over bonds.

TOPIC OF THE WEEK… The Speed of Profits
We often express our goal here as “To make as much money as we can as fast as we can”. That’s not intended to be a joke, to which you might reply “Wouldn’t we all. Ha Ha!” That is exactly our goal, and we have a systematic way to achieve it. That is The ProfiTrend Advantage! Everyone wants to make as much money as they can for their retirement years, but they think of it as “money available to invest now” vs “money required or desired for the retirement years”. That may be a good reason to start investing in the first place, but why would you limit yourself from going wildly beyond that target? The missing ingredient in most cases is an understanding of the element of time & timing in price (i.e. portfolio) appreciation. While we’ve addressed it before, most folks (even us) need to be reminded from time to time (pun intended)! You’ll find much more on this in this week’s Topic of the Week.
