WHAT IS THE iDayo™ SYSTEM & WHAT'S IT GOING TO DO FOR ME?
It's a unique subscription web site that provides you with unique financial
content about stocks almost every week. Correct stock picks can make
you a winner regardless of market conditions. Top
WHEN DO I BUY THE STOCKS YOU POST ON THE SITE & WHEN DO I
SELL THEM?
We suggest that you buy the stocks within the first week of when they
are posted to the site. Then sell them after 16 weeks. Place 20% stop
on each stock as soon as it is purchased. Therefore, you should plan
to invest the same amount of money weekly into each stock (usually 3
to 5 individual stocks) for a 16-week period. Please note that the iDayo™ system may not have a portfolio every week.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I INVEST EACH WEEK INTO THE MARKET?
Because we are not registered stock brokers, financial planners, money
managers or a registered investment advisory firm we can not tell you
how much to invest into each stock weekly. However, the historical performance
of the iDayo™ system is based on investing the same dollar amount
of money each week into every stock. As an example, if a subscriber
decided to invest $100 a week into each stock listed on the iDayo™ system,
and there were 3 stocks listed on the Indicator that week, they would
invest $100 into each stock. Likewise, if there were 5 stocks listed
on the Indicator the next week, they would invest $100 into each stock.
Therefore, the number of share purchased in each company will vary,
but the dollar amount should be the same. Top
HOW DO I FOLLOW THE iDayo™ SYSTEM WHEN I BUY AND
SELL MY STOCKS?
Go to www.iDayo.com and click SUBSCRIBER LOGIN. After you enter your
User Name, you will be taken to the Subscriber Page. As you scroll down
the page, the current 'open' portfolios are listed. A portfolio is the
name given to any group of stocks recommended by iDayo™ for each week.
An average of three new portfolios are posted each month. An 'open'
portfolio is one in which the stocks are still being held by iDayo.
Once the stocks reach the 16th week, they are sold, and now considered
to be 'closed' portfolios. You can view all the closed portfolios back
to 1998 by choosing 'closed' from the drop-down menu.
When you log in any time after 9AM on Monday, you will look at the list
of open portfolios to see if there is a new portfolio for this week.
The date listed beside each portfolio will be the previous Friday, because
the stocks are chosen using Friday's closing data. Just click on the
portfolio to see the new stocks that have been posted. There will be
3-5 stocks. Print that page out and proceed to your broker's website.
What you'll do now is determine how many shares of each stock you want
to buy. We suggest placing 2.5% of your portfolio in each stock. This
will ensure you won't run out of money to buy stocks over the 16 weeks.
(You will hold an average of 30 - 40 stocks at any given time). Assuming
a total portfolio of $20,000 that will be used to invest in iDayo™ stocks,
2.5% of $20,000 is $500 that would be invested in each stock. Then you'll
want to divide $500 by the current price of the stock, which is listed
on the sheet of paper you just printed off. When you've done this for
each stock, you'll have the data you need to go to your broker with:
stock symbol and number of shares. If you are using an online discount
broker you can then place your order.
When you login to your broker, you are really telling your broker four
primary things:
- I want to BUY;
- I want to buy XYZ stock;
- I want to buy ## shares of XYZ stock;
- I want this order to be good until cancelled;
There really is only one other thing the broker will want to know:
Is this a 'market' or 'limit' order? Market order means 'buy the stock
right now, whatever the price'. This is what I do 99% of the time
because I'm not day trading. A limit order is where you say, "I will
buy XYZ stock at or below $5.50 a share". Using iDayo™ there is really
no need to enter those limit orders when you are buying.
You enter the appropriate order for each stock. As soon as you own
all the stocks (a matter of 60 seconds or so), they will be listed
in your balance of assets. Now you want to enter the LIMIT orders
to sell the stocks. This is your downside protection. For example,
if the stock is currently at $10, we recommend selling if it ever
reaches $8. The way a STOP order works is when the stock reaches $8;
the order is entered automatically as a MARKET order. That means you
may sell for $8, for more than $8, or for less than $8. This is the
type of order I use. I do not try to squeeze the pennies out of the
order because for me it is not worth risking staying in the stock
just to get $8 instead of $7.99. If you want to define the price you
will sell at, you will use STOP LIMIT order, which works like this;
"I want to sell this stock if it ever reaches $8, and I will sell
it for as little as $7.75". This prevents your order from getting
sold at some dramatically lower price, something that is theoretically
possible but has never happened to me. So, you'll either enter a SELL
STOP order and enter $8 and the number of shares of the stock, or,
you'll enter a SELL STOP LIMIT order, in which case you'll enter $8,
then $7.50 for the LIMIT price, and the number of shares of stock.
By doing this for each stock you just bought, you're protecting yourself
in the event a) we're wrong, b) the company announces some disaster,
or c) the market moves down over the 16 weeks and the stock goes down
20%. The only other thing the broker will want to know is how long
your order is good for; you'll choose GTC or Good Till Cancelled,
which simply means to keep the order on the books until you cancel
the order!
Now, you're done for the week. Next week you'll repeat the same process.
If you don't end up doing it until later in the day on Monday, or
even Tuesday, it's no big deal. This is a 4-month trade, not a one-day
deal, and one day hasn't shown to make a difference.
Now, assume it's week 16. When you log in, you'll notice that the
portfolio that is first (at the bottom) on the list in your iDayo™
backoffice is flashing/blinking. That means it's time to sell. Click
on that portfolio, and print the page. You will then take this to
your broker to sell your stocks. When you log in, you'll do one of
two things. Either you'll cancel the open sell orders (the STOP or
STOP LIMIT orders you placed when you bought them 16 weeks before),
or you'll edit those orders to sell them at the MARKET price. I do
the second. I edit the SELL STOP order to SELL MARKET order and click
submit. The stock will be sold in a matter of seconds and you're done.
Don't forget, you may have stocks to buy this week as well, which
means the money, which had been invested in the stocks in week 1,
is now ready to be reinvested in week 17; the stocks you just sold
are funding the purchases of the new portfolio and you're keeping
that money in the market.
After a few months, assuming profitability, you'll want to re-evaluate
your portfolio, and see whether or not you need to increase your purchase
size. For example, let's say your portfolio is now up to $25,000;
instead of buying $500 worth of stock, you'll want to buy $625 worth
of stock. By doing this you will compound your returns and advance
the speed at which the money will grow.

WHY DOES THE INDICATOR METHOD WORK?
It's such a rare event to find a BUYING CONSENSUS among the funds. Typically,
in any quarter only 40 stocks out of 10,000 will have a STRONG BUYING
CONSENSUS. These stocks are the proverbial "needle in a haystack". Because
these stocks are being HEAVILY accumulated by the mutual funds and private
institutional funds, they are strong candidates for a sharp rise in
price, as can be seen below in our annualized returns. Top
HOW DOES THE INDICATOR FIND STOCKS?
We analyze the net buying and selling of individual stocks held by over
6,000 mutual funds and private institutional funds. By crunching all
this data, we are able to find the handful of stocks that many funds
are buying and few are selling. Top
ISN'T ONE GOOD EXPERT OPINION ENOUGH?
How about all those experts and professionals on TV with their opinions?
Well, one person's opinion is interesting but is not good indicator
of demand for a stock. In contrast the Indicator tracks where the experts
are ACTUALLY PUTTING THEIR MONEY. Top
WHY DO I NEED ALL THESE PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS?
- The Bible says in Proverbs 24:6, "In a multitude of counselors
there is safety."
- First of all, you will rest easier knowing that numerous professionals
are behind you when you invest in a stock.
- Secondly, if you could poll all the funds to find out what they
are buying and selling you would essentially have 6,000 professionals
working directly for you.
- Lastly, you get a REAL BUYING CONSENSUS in seconds. It's a rare
occurrence for the fund professionals to actually agree and come
to a BUY SIDE CONSENSUS on a particular stock.
Top
HOW MANY STOCKS GET VERY HIGH RATINGS?
Only 75 stocks out of the thousands that trade on the U.S. exchanges
have a STRONG BUYING CONSENSUS in any given quarter. We post the best
of the best, or about 3 to 5 stocks, on the site almost every Monday
morning by 9AM. Top

Top
WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF THE ANALYSIS?
The iDayo™ system uses a proprietary formula that takes into account
the importance of each institutional change in position, assessing factors
such as:
- The number of shares of the stock bought or sold during the latest
quarter.
- Whether the fund's position in the stock is new, increased, unchanged,
decreased, or eliminated.
- The size of the position change relative to the size of the fund.
- The rank of the stock within the fund.
Top
HOW LONG WILL A RATING LAST?
Once a stock is posted, you should hold it until the suggested 16 week
holding period has passed. Once iDayo™ has a positive breakout rating
on a particular stock, it is so significant that neutral or bearish
ratings in the following quarters are not usually an indication of weakness. Top
