The Need to KNOW – or at least give you an EDGE
Investing is all about knowledge which is why we have always used the phrase “The Need to Know” when describing what Apollo is and does and h0w it can help investors. Apollo (through the EDGE platform) provides investors an insight which gives them that edge.
Although many investors believe they know something someone else doesn’t know, it’s pretty rare. Over the years we have heard investors tell us what we don’t know when we tell them what we see through Apollo – ‘yeah, but what you don’t know….” The truth is that if you know something no one else knows, you should probably be in prison.
What’s really valuable, which is why people spend so much money on data and data sets is knowing what people actually do know. Once you know that, then one can make a judgement for or against and invest accordingly.
This is where Apollo comes in (and has always done so) and a recent example is worth looking at – Close Brothers Group plc whose share price fell 25% at the recent market close.
People who know Apollo know we run signals and indicators – growth and value (to keep it simple).
The chart below is the 5 year share price chart for CBG – Without the red dots, just it’s a line, albeit one that is trending lower. If you owned the stock you have lost money for the last 5 years and maybe you’ve been hanging in there hoping for a turnaround. If you’ve been looking to buy because the share price has fallen by 2/3 there has been no indication as to when you might do that.
However, when the Apollo signals are overlaid – in this case the Accelerator short signal that indicates a period of deteriorating growth the image comes to life, confirming or questioning the investment decision.
Chose to ignore if you know something no one else knows, but otherwise find something else to buy where the share price chart has positive Value or Growth signals.
