The Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the New England Patriots in an AFC Championship Game played in January of 2005, and a number of clients that had benefited from a campaign that finished ahead of claimed results and won all four of that season’s Premium Top Picks, opted out of the service based on the disappointment of the Steelers’ loss.
“How can you claim that the Steelers over the Patriots was the best postseason pick of the year and lose it so badly!?” Shouted one dissatisfied client who is also a well-known and respected San Francisco Bay Area radio personality. He was one of the clients who opted out of the Qoxhi Picks service based on the result from Pittsburgh in the 2004 AFC Championship Game; Patriots 41, Steelers 27.
Haven’t talked to him since.
I can deduce that he hit the Steelers pretty hard, and if they had won, he would have been in line to collect a king’s ransom. I had won for him in the past, and success was often followed by a rather generous bonus check in appreciation.
I always knew that if he had been playing within the structure of any of the three Money Management strategies outlined on the site, he would not have sent me a bonus based on a winning midseason result. It would have been business as usual, a gain in alignment with the overall strategy adopted before the season began. My best clients trump the excitement of too much at stake on any single result by the season long commitment to show bottom line profits after the Super Bowl.
The Qoxhi three Money Management Strategies; Basic, Percentage Play, and Top Pick Aggressive, are easily managed and tailored to the exact specifications of the point spread investor. Based on the chosen strategy and opening account balance, with a click on the selected team a client will get the exact amount to wager on a rated point spread pick. By season end, a faithfully executed account manager is forecasted to nearly double an opening account balance when wagered in accordance with the mandates of the selected Money Management strategy.
It is a self-managed six month account that requires as much discipline and faithful execution as any successful business venture, and it is an activity racked with enticing lures to veer off the solid business plan presented before the season. A string of winners can inspire overconfidence and sometimes a client will ignore the financial wisdom of a properly managed account for the prospect of making a big score.
When a client leaves the service because they miss on that big score, an even greater loss is the end of their partnership with Qoxhi. That robs them of all future successes including a Top Pick record that only twice in 27 years has lost more games than they won. It is a partnership geared to out gain nearly every investment opportunity in good times, and owns a huge advantage over most investments in today’s rocky business climate.
A couple days ago I got a quarterly statement for the retirement account my wife and I share. Our portfolio had lost a little more than $30,000 over the previous 12 weeks. My broker, who I still respect as a bright and savvy business guy, assured me that the setbacks are to be expected in this economy and the overall strength of our retirement assets are not in any danger.
I’ve watched my San Francisco Bay Area home lose a quarter of a million dollars in value over the past 20 months, but I understand that this is simply a dip in a real estate market that has treated me very well as an investment for more than thirty years.
I’m not complaining.
But, in these uncertain economic times, I ask you how much more attractive is a self managed fund that has earning potential attached to none of the downward trends that are eroding profits from so many other financial instruments?
If you know what can be earned while winning more than 60% of your bets I’m concerned you might also be prone to gamble more on some games than mandated by the Money Management strategy you adopt before the season begins. The Account Manager will shift your wagering from hipshot decisions made at the bar in hopes of showing a bottom line profit, to a rational approach geared to land you at season end with profits that nearly double your opening account balance
Free of all the depressing financial news, Qoxhi Picks offers a weekly investment unencumbered by any of the current markets. Profit margins are tied only to the experience and resources of a handicapping team poised to deliver another winning campaign in 2008, and your ability to take advantage with a point spread buy.
The only elements left to be enacted are you subscribing to the service, selecting a Money Management strategy, and wager accordingly.
I look forward to February when you add up your season winnings; hopefully it will be enough to offset real estate, stocks, bonds, and other less profitable investments.
