| After
spending $15k on "systems", and blowing $60k trading them, I
stumbled upon "The Brainwashing of the American Investor". I
started trading [the strategy] in November '05. In the first year I've had
50 winners and zero realized losers! This can change your life! It certainly
changed my trading career. Thanks. (D K, OK, 12/22/06)
No one else here (in Australia) talks about trading the way I’ve learned from
the (Brainwashing) book so it’s a solitary existence. I’ve taken profits on six stocks over the past ten days as the market has rallied.
A couple of times I’ve taken a quicker profit than 10%. The Working Capital philosophy fits hand in glove with the trading strategy & it’s gratifying to see WC grow.
I trade for a living so I’m more interested now in comparing realized profits to the wage my wife brings home. If I’m doing at least as well,
we’re OK. This is a far more real life situation than a comparison to a meaningless index.
And, I know I’ve certainly grown to LOVE volatility (especially those crazy
zigzag charts the trend traders hate!) (G M, Australia, 01/10/06)
Since I
made my first purchase in 2002, I've made 106 purchases and sold 86 of
them, all except four at a profit. Although its a little hard to
calculate the profit percent because I've intermittently added more money
to the account, it's somewhere in the range of 27% over the
eighteen month period. Considering that I made my first purchase near
the beginning of what I've heard described as "the worst period for
the stock market since WWII," and considering that before I'd read
"The Brainwashing of the American Investor", I had never
purchased an individual stock in my life, I'd say that ain't bad. (M
S., Norwalk, CT, 01/26/03)
I started following the methodology in March
2002, just before the market collapse. I was able to minimize the damage
because I had begun to diversify my holdings. Despite the market's
implosion, I began to make money off stocks I purchased based on
"strict criteria" found in the book. I was encouraged by the
intelligence and logic behind the methodology. I started VERY slowly and
carefully. To date, I have yet to make less than 10% on any stock I have
sold. (L S., East Hampton, NY,
January, '03)
I have have enjoyed several profitable trades
using your system in a very short time; I am extremely satisfied with your
approach. It seems to me to be the clearest way to make money in the
market and keep it. Your methods present a sane, lifetime approach to
trading that I only wish I had found 20 years ago. (M
L, MA, 11/28/04)
I bought the book last year...made $50,000
doing it like the book said...my CPA was not happy! (J

More about the
Spreadsheet(s)...there
are three levels! |
| The Merritt Investor's
Spreadsheet (MIS) is a straightforward, twelve-column, spreadsheet
containing the day’s "Watch List" of all high-quality NYSE stocks that
could meet or exceed the investment criteria outlined in "The Brainwashing
of the American Investor" during the next trading day. All that’s left for you to do is to
create your own "Buy List", and to keep an eye on the changing prices
using your own broker, an on-line financial website, or one of the two
more advanced versions of the MIS. You decide when and what to buy. You
decide when to take your profits.
The Merritt Spreadsheets are designed for investors who want to
implement the specific methodology documented in "The Brainwashing of
the American Investor: the Book that Wall Street does not want YOU to
Read!" We recommend that you obtain the book and study it carefully
before using any of the spreadsheets.

It Just Doesn't Get
Any Easier Than This! |
| Let Merritt
Information Strategies do the baseline calculations that zero in on the
Value Stocks that are worth considering for your portfolio. They will do all
the behind-the-scenes calculations and, each day, send you an Excel
spreadsheet via email. Just pour yourself a cup of coffee, boot up, and
download.
| Don’t
forget , there are over 2400 stocks listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, but only 500 are considered investment quality! A mind
boggling selection to sort through each day. Sure, YOU can look up
the S & P ratings, P/E ratios, four months of closing prices,
industries, percentages down from the 52-week high, dividend yields,
previous day’s closing prices, and then, after you take a break to
sharpen your pencil, you can calculate the “buy at” prices and
then create a watch list. Or WE can do the research and calculations
for you.
Note: The
"Standard" spreadsheet runs under Microsoft Works and
Microsoft Excel version 2000. For
online updates (which are only available in the Advanced and Pro
versions) Excel version 2002 or higher is required.
