Holy Grail of the Capital Markets
HOLY GRAIL OF THE CAPITAL MARKETS
Introduction
Ever since I have retired at the age of 28 (You can too! Learn
how from my Free Reports at
http://www.mastersoequity.com/MOE_FREE_REPORT.htm ), I have been
doing a lot of thinking into these "Tough Cases" of the
investment world. What I present today hopes to unveil the most
mysterious of them all, the Holy Grail of The Capital Markets
and I will be giving you my argument as to why it truly exists
and to help you find your personal Holy Grail of Trading and
Investments by the time you finish reading this report.
So let's go treasure hunting...
The Fabled HOLY GRAIL...
We have heard it a thousand times; investors and trader, young
and old have sought it for hundreds of years and countless more
are attempting to create it everyday. It is the fabled, urban
legend of the investment world... the Holy Grail of the Capital
Markets; A trading or investment system or strategy that will
never fail.
Some believe in it, others don't and many maintained that such a
strategy or system doesn't exist or simply impossible. Many have
claimed to have perfected such a system but when tried by people
other then themselves, it fell from Holy Grail to torn, leaking
paper cup.
The Wrong Perception
There was once a warrior near the end of the dark ages whom
heard of the power of a new weapon... a weapon that can kill
from ten paces away and can penetrate almost any known amour at
that time... a GUN. It was supposed to be an invincible weapon
and he spent everything he had in order to acquire one of these
weapons. Once he had that weapon, he wasted no time to duel the
most powerful warrior known in that land. He fired many shots
but missed and his life was taken under the blade of the veteran
warrior.
Like the gun, we expect that the Holy Grail strategy to be
invincible at all times. We imagine that we will never again
lose money once we acquire that knowledge. We can't be more
wrong. The question really is, are we suitable for this
invincible weapon?
The Truth Behind The Holy Grail
We all think of the Holy Grail as a strategy that can't fail.
However, we completely ignore the Human Factor! Study all the
famous battles of any and all ages and we will see that many of
the battles were lost not because of the strategy used but
BECAUSE THEY ARE BADLY EXECUTED. Most of these strategies are
good until screwed up by us... HUMAN!
You are right. We, human, make and break every Holy Grail that
ever existed. We are the "Stand" or the Base of the "Cup".
Yes, we COMPLETE the Holy Grail through the effectiveness of our
execution. We are truly the stand that completes the strategy
and therefore we must all make sure we are the right stand for
the right cup!
I am sure this sounds like you as much as it was me some time
ago... You purchased strategies that claimed to work wonders but
no matter how hard you try, you bend some of its rules and end
up hurt. That's your prove that matching your psyche with the
right strategy is so important. (Here is a free to download
psychometric test to see what kind of trader you are and what
kind of strategy you are suited for. Go now to

You tried to stick to the rules, didn't you? But what did you do
when your portfolio starts going into the red and the rules says
"STOP OUT NOW, AT THIS POINT!"? That is why we need to
understand what kind of stand we are BEFORE trying to understand
the cup and eventually the market!
What Cup to What Stand?
Now that you have found your stand, it is time now to find the
right cup to complete your personal Holy Grail. Unfortunately,
not all strategies are worth the title "Holy Grail". Many of
these strategies are fundamentally unsound or that they have not
been molded in the flames of real life trading. Therefore, a
worthy cup to complete your personal Holy Grail needs to be:
1) Tested and True in real life trading with proven track record
2) Fundamentally sound 3) Logically sound 4) Tested and
developed in your market of interest!
That last point got some of you baffled didn't it?
Yes, if you want to trade the US markets, your strategy needs to
be developed and proven in the US markets and if you want to
trade Asian equities, your strategy needs to be developed and
proven in the Asian markets. Why is this so? Due to fundamental
differences between the markets such as liquidity, investor
sentiments and behavior, level of participation of institutional
players and investor sophistication. Most strategies need to be
optimized for the market it was developed for and therefore
using it in other markets may result in a terrible loss due to
different price behaviors that results in making your profit or
loss taking point obsolete.
So why do I trade only the US markets? I trade the US markets
due to the fact that it has the highest level of sophistication
and its investors execute strategies which are little known in
other markets. This makes sure that whatever you try to do in
this market, It has the LIQUIDITY to ensure your profitability!
It is akin to a huge departmental store whereas some other
markets are small grocery stores at best.
And hey, we all know that there are more promotional and good
value items in a department store than most grocery stores can
afford to give, don't we?
Convinced why the US markets are our best choice yet? ... Good.

CONGRATULATIONS, you have now in your possession, your personal
Holy Grail of trading and investments!
