Jack Bowers is the editor of Fidelity Monitor (FidelityMonitor.com), and chief investment strategist of Weber Asset management, a money management firm.

Jack Bowers has a degree in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University.

Jack Bowers wanted to create a service that would simplify the task of developing an investment game plan.

Fidelity Monitor is an advisory service designed exclusively for Fidelity mutual fund investors. Each of their five model portfolios provides a diversified strategy for a targeted rate of growth. Subscribers can select a model portfolio, or a mix of models, and match the trades Fidelity Monitor announces in their monthly issues. Their goal is to maximize performance for the level of risk involved, and provide an unbiased opinion for investors who manage their own mutual fund accounts.

There are quite a variety of investment newsletter services available to investors today, which achieve a decent track record. In reality, however, many newsletters have not translated well for most investors that subscribe to them. The reason? Money management. Without the proper position sizing using the right money management tool, you are only dealing with half the formula for success.

Let's face it: if there was one consistently successful investment newsletter, then the word would spread rapidly, and that one investment newsletter would have more customers than the population of China. The reality is that there has never been such a success. Why? Because in the final analysis, 8 out of 10 investors fail due to one simple reason: position sizing.

The majority of investors who subscribe to investment newsletters think that the process is as simple as "Just give me your recommendations and let me become as successful as you are". Unfortunately, as money managers know, entry points account for very little in the overall success of a portfolio. Find out why!
