Jamie Dlugosch is the Editor of The Rational Investor (TheRationalInvestor.com). He has worked in investment banking and financial services his entire career, including personal money management and as vice president of a regional brokerage firm. Jamie Dlugosch was the CEO of Al Frank Investment Management, Inc., and publisher of The Prudent Speculator newsletter.

The Rational Investor was launched in 2002. As its name implies, The Rational Investor applies a combination of fundamental research, macroeconomic analysis, and old-fashioned common sense in his search for undervalued stocks. Jamie Dlugosch's analysis determines a stock's "Rational Price", the price a company is truly worth, based on its business model, balance sheet, earnings, sales trends, competitors, industry trends, etc. When Jamie Dlugosch's research uncovers a company whose actual price deviates from its Rational Price, he advises subscribers to go long or short to profit from investor fear or greed. Jamie Dlugosch updates his subscriber-only weblog several times each week with his latest stock research and trading recommendations. As positions fluctuate in value, he immediately issues e-mail alerts if action needs to be taken.

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!
