To be totally honest, I'm torn on this…

13 August, 2013 To be totally honest, I'm torn on this… Dear Buzzhairs Buzzhairs, Usually, when I analyse a trading strategy, I come to one of two decisions… It's either an idea that I believe in fully, or it's something I write off as rubbish. But what I want to show you today is different. First off, it IS proven. By that I mean it's made the ex-accountant who devised this plan a good income – consistently – over the past 12 years. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. In fact there's never been a year when it hasn't paid out. And as you'll see in a minute, we're not talking pennies here. So that should be that, shouldn't it? I should be shouting about this from the rooftops, singing its praises, telling you – my valued reader  - that I think you should 100% get into this. But it's not as simple as that. The truth is, this strategy will not be for everyone. Even I'm torn over it, because it tears up one of the golden rules of trading and throws it back in your face. It's quite a shock to see it written in black and white – and for some it's totally liberating. For others, it's madness. I'd like YOU to decide for yourself. Because this may be a Eureka moment for you. Take a look at this, and see what you think. So, what is this about? Well, on the one hand, it's the most obvious, most straightforward way of creating an income, one that's been used for years by a lot of smart people, and one that's open to everyone. This isn't some hush-hush 'City secret' or 'leaked' boardroom document… the basis of this is very, very simple. It involves buying blue chip shares – about as basic and safe as it gets in investment (certainly compared to putting your money into some tiny companies). There's no spread betting or futures trading, no complex ideas to wade through. Buy blue chip shares. That's the foundation. But it's what happens AFTER you buy them where things take a twist – and it's this part that some people just cannot swallow.  I admit it – I find it hard when it's as extreme as this. You'll see what I mean when you see this report. Spend a few minutes watching it, then let me know what you think. Whatever your final decision on this, I'm sure you'll find this an interesting approach, one that I really think will work if you buy into it.
