Is V2 The Best Investment Newsletter In The World?

 Tired of missing out?

Do you feel like your investments are falling behind? Or, are you worried and fearful of the next market crash?

I know how you feel. I’ve been there. More than once.

I’m writing you today to tell you about our V2 Model Newsletter and how it will change the way you invest forever.

I know it is hard to believe but we have just reached our 6th anniversary using our ratio mathematics to beat the market. During the time period, we are up over 1300% with our average annual returns at over 45%!

We don’t pick individual stocks. We don’t time the market. We follow the math.

Let me tell you how we got started.

Why I created V2 - The Ultimate Investment Newsletter.

Want to avoid the next market crash? I know I do. This is one of the main reasons I spent years developing and using the V2 model to improve my net worth. Quite honestly, I sleep better using it. The upside is cool. But there is nothing better than being safe during a market correction.

Some history for you. In the late 90’s I bought American’s Aggressive Growth Mutual Fund. It was great. It went up and up. At one point I was up over 200%. Then, in 2000, it crashed. I didn’t know what to do. Just hold on, my advisor said. It went down more. Then, I was nervous and sold at just the wrong time. I lost more than $40,000. That sucked. It was my first lesson in losing my hard-earned money.

On Friday, Sept 12, 2008, after a lot of research by a bond expert, I was convinced and bought an AAA-rated bond from Lehman Brothers. I thought it was safe. It’s a bond from a big company after all. And in a huge shock to me - Leman Brothers went bankrupt the following Monday. I was numb. I was stunned. I had to tell my wife the bad news. Obviously, I had no idea what I was doing. I was told everyone knew the firm was struggling - but this was a guaranteed bond! How could it go wrong? It did, I lost $175,000. It went “poof”.

Then in 2015, I did well after researching and investing in a number of top-performing ETFs. Suddenly, it all went wrong. I was pounded in the flash crash of August 19th. I even had protective stop-loss orders in place. Of course, they sold at exactly the wrong time. That event only cost me $207,000.

I had been successful CEO and business owner for 20 years. I could not believe my poor performance. After 8 years and a lot of heartaches, I knew there had to be a better way. So with my strength in mathematics and economics - and bruised ego - I went to work!

The Power of Ratios!

I began to study asset class ratios. I worked to understand investor psychology. I picked up the phone and talked with the leaders of dozens of quantitative funds and their CEOs. I reviewed hundreds of analysts’ projections (I discovered they are correct less than 1/2 the time). I began to document performance, and I learned to chart. I studied hedge fund strategies and sought out the best performers. I needed to understand what markets were telling us about risk-on and risk-off investments and how to apply different strategies.

Then, I went back to work. Running hundreds of charts, backtesting ideas, and looking at correlations between assets to improve performance on different time frames. Now, over a million iterations later we learned to follow the math.

We have created a quantitative model with over 120 core ratios that we track multiple times every day and sum into a single point of view. That summation is the heart of V2. We apply that aggregation to investable, popular ETFs.

The V2 Model has remarkable performance. V2 has beaten ALL available ETFs over the past 3 and 5-year period. We ranked #1 out of over 3,000 ETFs (Morningstar.) (2016-2022)

Behold the power of ratios. My efforts paid off.

Here is What I Discovered!

When the market perceptions change and adapt to the economy, securities perform in different ways. As certain markets perform poorly some investors, traders and institutions will move from “risk-on” assets to “risk-off” assets. Or, in some cases, investors will hedge to cash. To some degree, this is what we track. Over time we have discovered and now use roughly 120 different asset class ratios. There are common ones like stocks (SPY) vs. bonds (AGG) or growth stocks (VUG) vs. Value (VTV). And there are more obscure ones like put/call ratios and high beta shorts vs low volatility longs. See, investors will move to assets that they perceive are “safer” when they are fearful of a market crash. Cash, consumer staples, lower volatility, certain currencies, and even shorts perform better in a market downturn. The demand for all of these can be measured using price action.

V2 was born.

V2 became our new guide. We launched and invested in it in 2016. We had a few friends and clients try it early on and make gains for three years. Then Jan, 1 of 2020 we made it available to the public in our newsletter. Since inception we have sent nearly 200 newsletters to hundreds of subscribers.

We have crushed the SP500 and you can, too. Check out our performance here.

Is V2 for you?

We do not time the market and we do not seek absolute market tops and bottoms. If we could figure that out we would be billionaires. Instead, we use the power of many ratios to give us probabilities of continued up or downtrends. They are not perfect. But, they give us a fighting chance to beat the market. And, that is what we have done.

This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Beating the market takes time and patience. If you are looking to make a windfall in a few weeks, please do not sign up. Find another way to do what you hope. V2 will not be for you.

However, if you are interested in beating the markets over the long term, keep reading.

Our model uses common ETFs. We will use leveraged ETFs on occasion. And, we will use short ETFs and hedging techniques in strong market downturns. We learned some of our techniques from following Warren Buttet. We learned a bit from Ray Dalio. And we even learned from studying Cathie Woods.

We are not day traders. We are not “buy and hold”. Our math seeks a higher probability of extended trends. We did that in 2020 as we were up 156%. We did it in 2019, we were up 80%. And we did it with only one holding for all of 2017. V2 was up that year 118%. Our poorest year was 2022. We were down 9% - but we still beat the SP500 by over 10%!

Here at the Vig Company, we do not rest on our laurels. Our history of performance is great - beating the SP500 by over 6X. But for now, that is old news. We focus on the now. We plan for the future by researching new market relationships and correlations, seasonality, and other factors that can and will improve our performance and your investments.

V2 is totally Transparent and simple to use!

We share everything we do. Trades. Holdings. Allocations. Performance. All delivered to you in a short, clear, email.

It only takes few minutes to read, understand and execute.

We even share our entire newsletter history and all we have done. See our FAQs to learn more.

This is the only way I could build V2 and bring it to you. We tell you what we own and in what percentages. We tell you what we are going to buy or sell - before we do it! And we list our performance - up or down compared to benchmarks on a regular basis. And as a bonus, we blog and show charts of key things we are watching in the markets.

Markets are hard. Beating them is harder. There are no guarantees. V2 increases in value during strong trends in either direction. V2 value goes down when markets change direction and in sideways, whip-saw markets. But over the long term - our math has always worked. Always!

We follow the math. You follow us if you decide it is right for you. No pressure.

The V2 Newsletter is affordable at only $15 a month. That is less than 50 cents a day.
