How does Stock Nostradamus work?
Stock Nostradamus predicts when to buy and sell stocks using maths.  Our methodologies are based on a new, revolutionary mathematical understanding of the stock market. They show that events are predictable from changes in our proprietary volatility measure. By measuring, tracking and interpreting these changes we recommend to buy and sell ahead of the stock market shifts allowing clients to profit!

Traditionally the stock market is analysed through events and once analysed and interpreted, trading occurs.  Every competitor takes a slice or slices of this known data or information, re-dissects it and offers it back to the clients as an aid.  The problems with this traditional analysis are; people are reacting to information which everyone is in possession of; prices change after the event; everyone is trading the same way – once the horse has bolted.  Its circular – nothing new is known or created.

This is where Stock Nostradamus is different; we offer knowledge in advance of the price event which give a better return for less risk, time and worry.

We are offering a lifestyle. Clients don’t have to keep abreast of the geopolitics, or be market savvy, and they don’t have to employ another adviser.  Stock Nostradamus clients get more time to enjoy their life.

Stock Nostradamus
Stock Nostradamus generates buy and sell recommendations with a very unique mathematical signature. Each offers an extremely high success rate, great returns per recommendations and lower than usual risk. From 1 July 2020 until 30 June 2021 our realised recommendations as follows for our new Silver and Platinum products

	Silver	Platinum
Days invested	50	55
Average Return	8.9%	15.1%
Win Rate	88% of buys make a gain	100% of buys make a gain

Our Stock Nostradamus products are delivered via the Stock Nostradamus App on the Apple and Google stores.

How the Service Works
Stock Nostradamus recommends buying and selling across 100+ companies – big and small.  Once a buy recommendation is made it waits until the conditions are right to exit and recommends a sell.  The success rate is extremely high (see previous table).

The services will be delivered via from the Stock Nostradamus App.  Recommendations can be purchased individually (and subscription).

Recommendations
New recommendations will be available (on ASX trading days) by approximately 1230pm when the circumstances for recommending are appropriate.  Where possible the recommendations should to be acted on during the day of advice – or within reason afterwards.

Buy Recommendations
Are given with the intention of clients buying an appropriate amount of stock which is specific to each client.  Stock Nostradamus doesn’t give investment sizing.

Sell Recommendations
There is an average of 3-4 months between buy and sell.  When the recommendation is to sell there isn’t a minimum price – just an instruction to sell.  If history is any guide your average sell would return 9% for silver and 13%+ for platinum per buy recommended.  But history isn’t meant to be a guarantee of future success.

Commitment
Purchase of an individual recommendation automatically comes with the sell recommendation when the time is right.  Purchases of credit can be made via stocknostradamus.com/bundles and subscriptions are monthly in advance.

Michael Dee
Michael Dee will provide these services to you as a director of Pythagoras Investment Timing Index.  Trained in Accounting, Finance and Investment, Michael has spent his working life in the Finance Industry, specifically in wealth creation.

He rose through various Industry positions, culminating with him holding a Senior Management role with Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC). In this role Michael was extremely successful through his innovative approach to investment.

Within the Finance Industry, Michael is regarded as being technically strong, with a broad knowledge base. His approach has always been to challenge the status quo, always looking for the competitive edge to improve results.

When presented with the concept that predicting the timing of an event was more important than what the event was, he realized its significance and to pursue this line of work he left QIC to set up on his own.

Michael has worked tirelessly on developing a method of predicting changes in volatility in the market, with the resultant change in prices. This has been done using mathematical solutions, with all the complex work done electronically ‘behind the scenes’.

Michael’s working life has led him to this point, using an innovative approach, challenging the status quo, all with a view to changing investment dynamics in both individuals and organisations.
