Good morning. I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Labor Day weekend. We’re implementing some upgrades this morning and soon we’ll be rolling out and announcing the “Stocks and Jocks” podcasts for your listening enjoyment. In the meantime, I encourage you to try on some free education: tomorrow, PTI is hosting a free Protected Index Program® Teleconference from 6:00pm – 7:30pm Central Time. Get details and register here. Enjoy the shortened work week and I’ll write at you next week!


What I’ve Learned vs. What I Believe


LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER, FOLKS! If you’re a trader or investor in the Chicago area and you’ve never attended a complimentary Protected Index Program® Seminar before, register for our Saturday August 29th 3-hour session from 9:00am – noon at our Loop Office. My brother Dan and I will be discussing how our long-term portfolio strategy works and answering your questions. You will also meet some of our talented staff and enjoy a free breakfast and coffee bar. All handouts and classroom materials will be provided, but you must register.
