We are a group of international (Non U.S.) private investors.

Our mission is to enable the individual investor to invest as the “Smart Money” (financial institutions, Hedge Funds and the mayor market players) – invest: cyclically or seasonally.

We do this by following the "Smart Money" positions in the futures markets of Chicago.

It is of vital importance for every investor to know at all times if he is on the same side of the Smart Money or against it, keeping in mind that the small investor can never beat the large institutions.

We make investors aware that all markets, including stocks, bonds, gold, real estate, oil, and all commodities and investments in general, are cyclical or seasonal.

Investors who accept that all markets, like everything in nature, follow a cyclical pattern know there is a time to be in the markets and a time to be out of the markets.

As Seasonal Investors, we acknowledge and incorporate the following historically proven investment concepts into our investment strategy:

The greatest percentage (80% to 90%) of the return in the stock market is made during the Favorable Season or throughout the months of November to April.
All the mayor crashes and corrections in general have occurred during the Unfavorable Season or throughout the months of May to October – for example, during the Unfavorable Seasons of the years 1929, 1966, 1980, 1987, 1990, 1994, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002. “Sell in May and go away” has proven to be a valid strategy.
In the last 50 years, investing only during the Favorable Season has been 3 times as profitable as investing throughout the entire year.
The “Smart Money” (see Smart Money) or large financial institutions and Hedge Funds tend to follow the cyclical pattern of the markets as evidenced by the Commitment of Traders of the Commercial Hedgers in the Chicago Exchanges.
We establish our asset allocation and timing strategy based on the Smart Money or Commercial Hedgers’ positions which tend to be cyclical.

Once investors become aware that markets tend to follow a strong seasonal pattern, they will begin to question the random walk theory which holds that stock price movements are random. Whether markets are cyclical because of emotional or strategic reasons, it is very difficult to ignore the seasonality of the markets.

Seasonal Investor will instinctively reject the much touted Wall Street advice of “Buy and Hold”.

If financial institutions such as banks and brokerage houses as well as mutual funds and Hedge Funds never “Buy and Hold” for their own portfolios (see Smart Money), why should you?
