As the publisher and chief investment strategist of The No-Load Fund Investor (NoLoadFundInvestor.com), Mark Salzinger writes or oversees all the content in the newsletter and, together with Sheldon Jacobs, decides which of 996 no-load mutual funds to recommend and put into one or more of the newsletter’s Best Buys model portfolios. Previously, Mark Salzinger served as executive editor of Louis Rukeyser’s Wall Street and Louis Rukeyser’s Mutual Funds, where he worked closely with Louis Rukeyser to provide investment guidance to hundreds of thousands of investors.

Mark Salzinger has authored or edited literally hundreds of articles and special reports on mutual funds, individual stocks, bonds and investment strategies. A former investment associate at investment manager J. & W. Seligman, which he joined after earning his MBA in finance and marketing from Cornell University, Salzinger is one of the few mutual-fund experts to know funds as a former insider and now as an unbiased observer.

Sheldon Jacobs wrote the first successful book focusing on no-loads back in 1974. For a quarter century, he served as the editor and publisher of the No-Load Fund Investor advisory newsletter. Sheldon Jacobs has written articles for Barron's, Money, the AAII Journal and other publications. He is a frequent guest on radio and television.

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!
