Marketocracy Data Services  is a research company whose mission is to find the best investors in the world and then track, analyze, and evaluate their trading activity. Marketocracy recruits people to manage model portfolios at Marketocracy.com, and compete to become the best investors. Their stock picking ability is analyzed and ranked using a complex algorithm that incorporates long- and short-term performance, as well as an attribution analysis that accounts for market, sector, style, and trading contribution so that they can isolate comparative returns. Each month, Marketocracy uses their ranking methodology to select their 100 best investors, called "the m100", and aggregate their portfolios into the m100 index.

The company's affiliate, Marketocracy Capital Management, is the investment advisor for the Marketocracy family of mutual funds, and uses the research generated by Marketocracy Data Services.

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!
