Patrick McKeough is the publisher of The Successful Investor (TheSuccessfulInvestor.com). His proprietary stock picking system, the McKeough ValuVesting System™, is designed to find stocks whose built-in value limits losses during downturns.

The Successful Investor is a monthly newsletter that consists of:

• Buy and sell recommendations, and an explanation of what’s happening with the market and the economy.

• Monthly portfolio updates that track the progress of previous recommendations so subscribers can see how well they’re doing and how each investment fits into their overall portfolio strategy. There are 4 separate portfolios to accommodate different levels of risk tolerance.

• A 24-hour Telephone and E-mail Hotline. Although the ValuVesting System™ avoids frequent trading, it’s entirely possible that events will occur between issues of The Successful Investor that require immediate action. If that happens, subscribers call the Hotline, or check their e-mail anytime, day or night. Patrick McKeough records a new message 48 times a year (same for e-mail) or more often if circumstances warrant.

• In the Investor’s Guide Patrick McKeough provides a small sample of the information found in Triple Your Wealth & Slash Your Risk: How to Generate Outsized Profits in Volatile Markets. The 7-volume set provides complete details about all the points touched on here, plus examples, explanations, tools, and worksheets to help subscribers apply the ValuVesting System™ to their own portfolio.

• The New Special Report called How a “Conservative” Broker Can Send You to The Poor House. If your wealth isn’t growing as fast as you think it should even though your broker is “doing everything right,” read this report. It’s the true story of what happened to one of Patrick McKeough's clients when he put his faith in a supposedly reputable broker.

• What To Do with Your CP, a new special report that explains how to maximize profitability and minimize risks with the five CP spinoffs.

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!
