Is The V2 Model Investment Newsletter The Best In The World? You Decide!
We love math.
We love to compare our performance to that of others. That is how we hold ourselves accountable. That is how we strive to get better.
We found this article last night from WallStreetSurvivor.com Best Investment Newsletters & Best Stock Newsletters of 2020 with updated information for 2021.
They ranked Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor the #1 Investment Newsletter.
Really?
Here is what they wrote:
“** UPDATED June 12, 2021 WITH STOCK PRICES AND PERCENTAGE RETURNS THRU FRIDAY, June 11, 2021 **
Their stock recommendations continue to beat all of the other newsletters we monitor and they maintain a very high accuracy of their picks.
As of the close on Friday, June 11, 2021, 19 of their 24 stock picks for 2020 were up and the average return of all 24 picks was 76% compared to the market's 35%. Most impressively, their latest 120 stock picks from 2016-2020 are up on average 191% compared to the SP500's 71%; 89% of these 120 stock picks are up and 56 have at least doubled, and 33 have at least tripled in price.
Read that again… The Motley Fool's stock picks from 2016 to 2020 are up 191% and have BEAT THE MARKET by 121% over the last 5 years.
No other stock newsletter comes close to that.”
Really?
While Motley Fool did very well… we strongly disagree it is the best!

The V2 Model has performed exactly as expected.
About the V2 Model.
We have researched and developed a pool of common and popular ETFs. We will select which ETFs to invest in based on market conditions and our short-term, medium-term, and long-term trends. We will also model asset class ratio behavior for our decision-making process. Leverage will be used when appropriate and we will short the market in a downturn. If no investments meet our rules, we will go to cash. We will change holdings at any time during the month.
The investment picks may be in large-cap growth, treasuries, leverage, derivatives. We may short the market or go to cash. Holdings may include SPXU, SDS, SH, SPY, SSO, UPRO, TLT, AGG, TQQQ, SQQQ, or CASH at any time.
We make all of our holdings and allocations available Members in our V2 Model newsletter as as they occur.
