New Historical Performance Benefit Analysis Tool Highlights The Power of Sidestepping Risk.

How much would you have benefitted by sidestepping periods identified as presenting above normal risk in any of your positions?

Now you know!  SmartStops has released its new performance comparison calculator accessible on the SmartStops return page. 

As investors, we can not predict the future and don't' know when an equity will experience a period of above normal risk, but we can react and take protective action quickly when an increase in risk is detected. 

What if you had taken action and sidestepped risk early in the Toyota recall crisis (TM), the recent market challenges faced by Research In Motion (RIMM), or the BP disaster (BP)? Visit the new performance comparison calculator to find out!
