Purpose
 |
The purpose of the alternative investment newsletter is to provide medium to long-term investors trading recommendations that leverage both long and short positions in
- equity indices
- market sectors
- commodities
- currencies and
- baskets of stocks in other countries – encapsulated in ETFs.
As this product develops, we plan to add articles and information on real estate-oriented funds, cash, metals and currencies for long-term investments and other vehicles that will allow you to make money in bear markets.

Finding the Best ETFs for your Portfolio
A growing segment of the population has a greater percentage of wealth accumulated in IRAs, 401(k)s and other custodial programs that do not permit access to the margin, transaction type (e.g. short sale) or the exchanges where the most dynamic investments are found.
The purpose of the alternative investment newsletter is to ferret out the best ETFs for your portfolio and to offer recommendations to capture the best returns.
Trading ‘Round the Clock
We live in a world where financial transactions are taking place practically 24 hours per day. It is not uncommon to find Elliott Wave patterns completing “after hours”, on exchanges in other countries. This complicates ETF trading. During normal hours, we may see a strong rally and “after hours” the 5-wave impulse pattern completes and a three-wave reversal begins, which finds a naïve ETF trader holding a losing position the following day.
To assist you with management of your holdings, Fortucast provides both pattern completions targets, timeframes and specifically focuses on longer-term position trades.
Salient Features of Fortucast Alternative Investments Newsletter:
- Specific entry and exit dates for major market sectors using proprietary timing indicators.
- Recommendations based on Elliott Wave analysis and traditional technical signals in conjunction with five timing filters.
- Enhancement of fund timing based proprietary timing models transferred from corresponding commodity sectors.
- Weekly and monthly chart timing signals and pattern completions.
- Updated nightly for markets of the next trading day.
- Recommendations are made as needed.
- Short-term swing trades are sometimes suggested.
Our initial trading will focus on the following ETFs; others will be added as the markets and opportunities arise. There are approximately 2200 new ETFs in the registration process.
Also, we will be phasing out of most mutual funds as we exit current positions and switching to the appropriate ETF that can be entered at any time of the day.
