We hear this question quite frequently, and felt like the answers to what differentiates this strategy deserved a page all of their own. While we could list more differences than just the ones below, we believe these top five are especially important.

We fully explain the strategy and the rules that make it up

• You can evaluate the merits of the strategy and make truly informed decisions on whether to invest part of your portfolio in this manner.
• Can someone copy the strategy? Yes, but... can they keep up with the ongoing research that we do, and be a reliable source for information in years to come? For an individual investor, the cost of reliable market data that accounts for dividends, not to mention the time required to calculate fund picks, is much more expensive than our low subscription costs.
  
  

Conclusions are based on exhaustive testing

• Our investment experience over the years has relied on exhaustive and careful back-testing. While anyone can develop a strategy, not very many of those get put through the rigor that the Cornerstone Fund Investing Strategy has undergone.
• We don't believe anyone should invest in something without a tested track record.
  
  

Our subscription rates are rock-bottom

• If you've subscribed to Value Line, IBD, or other investment services, you know the costs can be in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year.
• If you've paid other investment advisory fees, you also know how costly that can be as well. Be sure to know what you're really paying, and then compare costs. You might be surprised at how much you're actually spending!
• For the price of a magazine subscription (or a couple cups of coffee) each month, you can keep up with the latest strategy picks and commentary as it relates to the strategy. For something as important as your investments, this is a great bargain.
• Still skeptical? Follow the picks for 6 months, 12 months, or however long it takes for you to feel comfortable. You can always start small, and compare this to your other investments.
  
  

Our exclusive strategy health check

• Based on our exhaustive testing, we can determine when the strategy is no longer performing as expected.
• We update the strategy health each week so you can decide what to do if it were to fall out of favor.
• Very few investment strategies can make this claim!
  
  

We're honest about returns and what you should expect

• We're always amazed at the claims and even promises some companies make.
• Our investing experience is sufficient to know that out-performing the market over long periods of time, especially without extra risk, is difficult.
• The last thing we want to do is mis-lead or mis-inform any of our guests or subscribers. While we invest our own funds in this strategy, there's still no guarantee of future success.
