Easy Investing Book Offered Free for a Limited Time

WOODSIDE, Calif. - Aug. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- BackTesting Report, an educational resource for investors and traders, today announced a free promotion of the Kindle version of Truth About ETF Rotation by Jackie Ann Patterson for a limited time starting August 22, 2015 through August 25, 2014.  Investors can claim their copy at Amazon.com by visiting the link in the references section below.

Truth about ETF Rotation compares backtested strategies for managing a portfolio of funds which represent the US and International stock and bond markets.  Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are the focus of the book however mutual funds are also examined because of their longer track record.

The two main types of strategies compared by Truth About ETF Rotation are

1.     Buy and hold of a diversified portfolio and

2.     Rotation among leading ETFs

ETF Rotation can benefit long-term and intermediate-term investors by offering an easy-to-understand, low-effort, objective method of deciding when to buy ETFs which appear poised to increase in price.  The method of choosing the ETF was developed in the book and evaluated by backtesting – a method of historical simulation of the stock market.

The next step after backtesting in developing a trading or investment strategy is forward-testing, either in a simulated environment or through live trading in a model portfolio.  To facilitate greater learning among investors, BackTesting Report offers two types of assistance for further developing a strategy.  One is free access to a forward-testing spreadsheet which can be used to assess ETFs for investment using current price data.  This spreadsheet is available from the book’s companion website.  See the link below in the references section.

Another educational resourse is divergence-alerts.com where members can follow along with Jackie Ann Patterson as she ranks ETFs and invests in a live model portfolio.  The Bronze level of divergence-alerts.com membership focuses on ETF Rotation.  Levels Silver, Gold, and Platinum add educational content about price and indicator divergences, specifically MACD Divergence.

Truth About ETF Rotation was first released on in November of 2012.  Since then it has been downloaded by thousands of readers, and appeared in the Amazon Top 100 books on Investing Basics.
