Stockpicks.com developed a proprietary computerized trading system, which predicts, reacts and recommends certain trading changes in a portfolio of stock in order to maximize returns over the whole portfolio.

"Our service is backed by an exhaustive amount of research and analysis.

Our goal for this portfolio is to maximize profits while reducing risks," stated David Goldring, Sr. Analyst at Stockpicks.com.

The TS Portfolio provides for a systematic program for stock selection inside an active trading portfolio. The system makes stock selections and portfolio changes based on certain parameters and market conditions (Oversold, Overbought, Downtrend, and Uptrend) prevalent at a specific time.

Goldring continues, "The TS Portfolio consists of up to 20 stock long positions, each representing a maximum of 5% of the portfolio, and a maximum of Ten (10) short positions aimed at balancing the market downside risks. During the course of the year the portfolio may hold cash positions from 0 to 100% of the portfolio."
