Launched in September of 2008 into the worst financial crisis since the 1930's, Notes From the Rabbit Hole (NFTRH) proved itself right from the beginning. One year later (September, 2009) the returns in our speculative portfolio are +70% from NFTRH baseline and +169% from the bottom of Q4, 2008. This is what a contrary mindset and emotional stability can do for you in markets that can be noisy and confusing. We seek to filter the noise to provide subscribers with a clear view of reality with an eye toward being bullish when appropriate and preserving capital, also when appropriate.
