42.SafeMoneyMetrics™ and Money

SMM facilitates concrete groundwork for constructing investments with an increased probability of positive returns over unknown future market conditions.

41. SafeMoneyMetrics™ for Client Accounts

It allows analysis of “a process of profitability,’’ and provides early warning of strategy imbalances. Pre-determined automated decision rules can be built into any analysis.

39. Benchmark Applications and SafeMoneyMetrics™
This article elaborates on how the Reward to Variability Ratio is used with SafeMoneyMetrics™ as IT’S ONE DRIVING Benchmark. The benefit is a focused simple method of defining and eliminating unwanted risk from the investment process. The Reward to Variability Ratio measures how unrealized profits are translated into realized profitability.

38. Traditional Risk Management and SafeMoneyMetrics™
This article introduces how SafeMoneyMetrics™ improves upon a few traditional risk management concepts.

37. SafeMoneyMetrics™ and Multi-Advisor Analysis 
The value SafeMoneyMetrics™ adds to building and monitoring multi-advisor portfolios is introduced. Although any number of advisors can be used, to uphold the integrity of simplicity we chose variable allocations between two advisors. Because the reliability of any strategy requires clear definition of its’ inherent weakness, we defined what we can perceive. I am unsure what the weaknesses detract from value added by SafeMoneyMetrics™, only that they do exist. All weaknesses are included in the articles, as they are revealed.

36. Risk Management Inside and Out
This article integrates internal and external risk management. Internal is defined as the consciousness, beliefs, mental acumen and practical skill of a trader. External is defined as how, what a trader creates is applied to and interacts with current market conditions. We can “PROVE” as you will see – that an integrated risk management process brings a more effective approach to investing for people interested in managed futures/options.

35. Conscious Risk Management Belief and Law
This article introduces the concept of risk management within a framework of “Consciousness.” We will confirm obvious differences between human beliefs, facts, natural laws and how clear application of that knowledge can bring increased stability and profit potential to any endeavor – especially financial because the ability to prevent loss becomes awesome! We define consciousness as the invisible energy that builds and sustains physical life. Consciousness always precedes physical form – this is Universal Law.

34. Your Internal Risk Manager
This article was written to empower you. The topic was prompted by excessive stock market volatility and perpetual shattered trust in “white collar leadership” across a spectrum of industries.  A “belief” in two powers good and evil lives in all people. The “belief” is CAUSE for two energies fear and love to operate in consciousness.  Betrayal is an EFFECT or RESULT caused by energy of fear. Fear is also an EFFECT CAUSED by a “belief” that our survival is threatened. The energy remains dormant or functions at harmless levels until life circumstances allow it’s potentially destructive force to be revealed.  How fear operates varies within each individual – some people manage fear creating constructive results, others wreak havoc for themselves and those around them. Because fear is part of everyone’s consciousness, the energy will always at some point in time manifest as physical reality.

33. Volatility, Risk and Managed Futures
A traditional “belief” is to equate volatile returns with high risk. Not only does the “belief” deprive us from seeking low risk, potentially lucrative managed futures investments; like all “beliefs” it may actually be a cause for increased risk.

32. Benchmarks, SafeMoney and Managed Futures
This article demonstrates how SafeMoneyMetrics™ can define an advisor’s benchmark and how the strategy improves on traditional methods of using benchmarks for managed futures. SafeMoneyMetrics™ is built on a foundation that aligns natural laws that sustain all life, with principles used for designing hedge models over the past century. We believe that a direct integrated risk management process allows optimal decisions to evolve. 

31. Evaluation of Managed Futures and SafeMoney
