A Message from Validea CEO and Founder, John Reese:

Over the past twelve years, I have been conducting extensive research into quantitative investment strategies. The goal of my research was to find winning strategies that had consistently outperformed the market over the long term, and which the average investor could use in a practical way. What I discovered is that a number of history's greatest investors, including Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett, and Benjamin Graham, had made their fortunes by using approaches that were mostly quantitative.

After studying the works of these and other stock market greats, I used my background in computer science and artificial intelligence to develop the sophisticated yet easy-to-use guru-inspired models that power the research and portfolios on Validea.com. On Validea, I offer 14 different investment portfolios (you get access to every one of those!) and tell you exactly what to buy and what to sell. You also get access to my Validea Hot List newsletter and patented stock analysis engine that x-rays over 6,500 securities using each different guru strategy.

Let me also say that this has certainly been a difficult market, but the quantitative guru strategies I run for subscribers have proven their value -- since I've been tracking them, and as I write this, every 10-stock guru-based portfolio included in the advisory service is ahead of the market. But what I've also discovered in my research is that coming off of bear markets, active investment strategies from the likes of Neff, Buffett, Greenblatt, O'Shaughnessy and others have produced exceptional outperformance over the market. By using Validea's investment models, you can position your portfolio for the road to recovery and long term market outperformance.

Here are a few highlights of the Strategy performance:

As a subscriber to Validea, you will receive the following benefits:

"Guru Analysis" of individual stocks using 12 different Guru Strategies. You can see how more than 6,000 stocks stack up against each of these methodologies, which were inspired by such great investors as Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, Martin Zweig, Peter Lynch, Kenneth Fisher, and others. And you won't just get pass/fail assessments -- you'll be given a criterion-by-criterion explanation of why a stock does or doesn't pass each and every step of all 12 of these models.

12 different model portfolios, each of which chooses stocks using one of my individual Guru Strategies (you get access to every one of those!). At the end of 2009, all 12 of my 10-stock individual guru portfolios were beating the S&P 500 over the long term; in fact, 11 of the 12 were more than quadrupling the index!

2 consensus-based portfolios that buy and sell stocks based on a blend of my individual Guru Strategies. Both of these portfolios averaged more than 13.5% annualized returns from their July 2003 inceptions through the end of 2009 -- a period in which the S&P 500 averaged gains of just 1.7% per year!

A powerful Guru Stock Screener that x-rays over 6,500 securities using each of my Guru Strategies. This Advanced Guru Screener also allows you to search for the highest-rated stocks by sector or industry group, and even lets you add your own fundamental criteria to create customized guru models (and save them for future use).

Access to my Validea Hot List newsletter. The bi-weekly newsletter provides an in-depth look at our flagship Hot List portfolio, which through 2009 has produced gains of more than 140% since its July 2003 inception -- more than 10 times the gains of the S&P 500. The Hot List also provides you with closer looks at my individual guru-based models, and my take on the market and investment strategy.

Daily updates on which stocks have been upgraded or downgraded by my guru-inspired models. When a stock's fundamentals falter, you'll know right away.
