Trading Strategies: Lou Basenese’s “Alpha Intelligence” approach seems to work better than most hedge funds

Posted March 6, 2008

Baltimore — (TFN): The other day, a colleague of mine drew my attention to the track record of a unique trading research service. As you may know, I make a living monitoring the performance of trading services that offer their recommendations to retail investors like you and me. Which is why I was taken by surprise just at just how well it has been working out for his subscribers.

Lou Basenese's Alpha Intelligence Alert mimics the positive qualities of a hedge fund. Lou is the Assistant Director of Research over at the Oxford Club and started his career on Wall Street as a top analyst and trading expert. He specializes in nontraditional investments such as hedge funds, managed futures, takeovers, and IPO's. He is also the editor of two other trading research services Takeover Trader, as well as a regular contributor to the Oxford Club's monthly Communiqué and the Oxford Insight e-letter.

The Alpha intelligence Alert uses typical brokerage accounts to duplicate the strategies and performance of some of the world's most profitable hedge funds. Lou does this in two ways:

 Listen to the video soundtrack of this special report!

1. He is completely flexible in his selection process. He scours countless investments in both domestic and global sectors, to find the best investments at any given time.

2. He picks both sides of the market. He will go long and short, depending on market conditions. This is the key to his success since it allows him to hedge his positions and limit his downside risk.

Here's how the service has done:

In the first two months of 2008, he has 12 closed options positions with a success ratio of 75%. His year-to-date cumulative gain so far is 255%, with an average gain of 21.33% per position.

Now, a performance like thi would be just great in any market. But when you consider the beating the market has taken in 2008, his results are nothing short of incredible! Being able to go long and short, and to be able to go anywhere in the world to find the best stock and options picks has given Lou the ability to post some amazing results.

If you're unhappy with your returns in the US markets, you need to get in on what has been happen here. The new world markets are putting huge pressure on the US and other developed nations. Here's an opportunity to take the best of both the USA and the international markets and cover both sides of these markets.

When the market gives you lemon after lemon, it's time to make some lemonade. The Alpha Intelligence Alert does exactly that.

If you want additional information, I've asked my team to be ready for your call at tel. (888)570-9830. Our trading research specialists can walk you through all the particulars.

If you want to get a front-row view at how Lou Basenese thinks and argues his case, I recommend you revisit Laura Cadden's recent video interview with him at TFN's Smart Trading Action Alert.
