1. Tango5 Investing MethodbyDon WilsonMay 10, 2007 PowerPoint available at www.donsfunds.com

2. “Tonight I Will Show You” • What the level of risk is in the market today – any day. Should I be “In or Out” • Top 1% of 3000 + No Load Mutual Funds - any day • Make “good money” year in and year out. • Only if you follow the rules.

3. My Background • Let’s take a journey. • Mechanical Engineer – technical guy • Small business owner last 30yrs • Cashed Out in 1987 • Started investing with Fundamental Analysis • Now mechanical trader using Technical Analysis • Since 1997 been investing the Tango5 way

4. Origin of Tango5 • To teach my adult children how to invest • Expanded to family & some close friends • Expanded to Web Site & several 100 users • All the users I know of are profitable • Tango5 has been running “real time” for four years • Uses FastTrack and Amibroker Softwareand “freeware” Trade and Tradefr

5. The Market Timing Question

6. My Concern – Risk of Deep Bear Markets Market Timing is really “Risk Management”

7. Tango5: What is it?

8. Tango5at www.donsfunds.com • A fully developed and documented trading system • When to buy • What to buy • How to manage your holdings • When to sell • How to manage your money • How to track your trading history • The software “pre-packaged” to run the system

9. Tango5 Is Also • “Semi Automated” to save time • Almost “Turnkey” investment process • Almost “Autopilot” in use • A heavy “dose” of my investment philosophy • Novice Investor - Like driving your car ----Start the motorPut it in gearSteer and Brake • Expert Investor – Just use it.

10. Tango5 Is Also • A Teaching Tool • Graphs and Indicators Displayed • Fund Ranking and Selection Displayed • Money Management Reports Displayed

11. “And It Is Free” • Caveats: • Must have high level of computer skills or know someone that can help you. • Considerable set up detail. • It takes your time and effort.

12. Market Timing • My experience with “Market Timing Models” since 1994 • Why? Keeps you out of “Deep” Trouble • Timing is “Risk Control” not for Performance • Tango5 is not a “Black Box”, totally open • Tango5 MRI (market timing) is all you need • MRI “Managed Risk Investing”

13. How Does it Perform Tango5 Back Test Example • Backtest Results from the Amibroker Custom Backtester. • All FT data, 15 years of history. • High Risk Portfolio22.72 ann, 13.56 mdd, win rate 73%, holding 4 positions, 8% trailing stop • Mid Risk Portfolio 19.77 ann, 10.87 mdd, win rate 68%, holding 4 positions, 6% trailing stop • Low Risk Portfolio 16.49 ann, 7.43 mdd, win rate 64%, holding 4 positions, 3% trailing stop *Note Back testing is a simulation of the past. It is imperfect“Back testing is an approximation of what might happen in the future”

14. Statistics | Charts | Trades | Formula | Settings | Symbols Backtest Example Tango5Bear Market Years • Backtest Results from the Amibroker Custom Backtester • Getting “in & out of the market” at exactly the wrong time • FT data starting 03/21/2000 – 10/07/2002, 2 1/2 years bear market • High Risk 9.76 ann, 8.30 mdd, win rate 80%, holding 4 positions • Mid Risk 11.29 ann, 6.77 mdd, win rate 75%, holding 4 positions • Low Risk 10.53 ann, 3.21 mdd, win rate 70%, holding 4 positions

15. Who Is Tango5 For ? Investment Level Beginners ? Investment Level Average ? Investment Level Advanced ? It can be for all levels

16. What Do You Need to be Successful • Control of Market Risk • What to Buy, Fund Selection • How to Manage Your Portfolio

17. Market Cycles --- “Are they Real”“Yes”SecularCyclical& Intermediate

18. Secular Bull & Bear Marketssince 1802 ---------- Range 8 to 20 years There is a definite pattern here! What causes these cycles? FEAR and GREED, yes but that is to simple. Michael Alexander, Andy Kessler, and Ed Esterling’s research shows that “Innovation Waves” especially since the “Industrial Revolution” have the effect of of creating long cycles in financial markets.
