| The
last five years have seen unprecedented market behavior that has
wreaked havoc with investor’s greed, fear and ultimately their
investments. Many investors continue to pursue aggressive returns
while attempting to minimize exposure to risk.
Back in 1994, a professional money manager assured me that you could
not achieve the best of both worlds by incorporating aggressive
returns with minimal risk. Such a rare product, in his words, was
“like trying to find a needle in a haystack.” This sentiment
ring’s true today as many investors have watched their beloved
and supposedly “safe” mutual funds, especially growth
funds, unwind in value at rates greater than the market itself.
JCM is a firm dedicated
to the active management of Futures Indexes such as the S&P
500 and 10 year Treasury Notes. In our opinion, futures are an obvious choice
given they inherently have a short term capital gains advantage
while simultaneously offering exceptional liquidity and safety
relative to common stock.
