The Problem:
- You’re new to stock market investing and don’t know where to turn.
- You live in fear of a major market correction because you lived through a major market correction.
- You’ve pulled the trigger on one too many “hot” stocks touted by TV gurus and talking heads, only to have it nearly blow up your account.
- You’ve tried mutual fund investing but your returns always lag the S&P 500. You’re willing to put in more effort for better returns, but what to do?
- You want the kind of financial freedom that comes from a certain size of portfolio. To get there, you need to start outperforming the market. You’re ready for a clear investment strategy that will get the job done.

Find a strategy that’s not pie-in-the-sky and not just a bunch of theory, but a systematic plan that is backed up with real numbers. A trading strategy that’s understandable, repeatable, that works and works simply. The 12% Solution is such a strategy.

From The Author:
“As a former day trader, I spent years trying to beat The Street – rarely did. It was only after I began thinking outside the box that I started to make money consistently, bull market or bear.
The 12% Solution is the result; a simple, elegant ETF investment strategy that will let you weather any market storm and stay on track to a 12% average annual return on your investment.
That might not be a get-rich-quick solution to all problems, but it’s enough to add financial security and make retirement a million dollars easier.” --DAC

Inverse
At the heart of the monthly trading strategy is the inverse relationship between equities and bonds. Time tested and widely lauded, some combination of stocks and bonds finds its way into most of the portfolios prepared by professionals money managers. This is our starting point. And then we get creative.

Graphics
You'll find charts aplenty in The 12% Solution, providing a visual for everything from the aftermath of the Brexit vote to the culmination of our monthly trading strategy. There's even a graphic showing the dollar value of adding an extra 4-5% annually to a retirement portfolio. Hint: think million dollar difference.

Backtesting
Backtesting is simply looking back over the years to see how a particular investing strategy would have performed. The 12% Solution has been backtested for 10 full years (19 years using mutual funds as proxies for our selected ETFs). While not foolproof, it provides a measure of light in an otherwise dark sea of investing.

“Hi David, Hope all is well with you. I have been applying your 12% Solution religiously now for two years and am quite pleased with the results.” - DJ “Thank you. I tried, unsuccessfully, to pick stocks and it was a disaster. One day Miley Cyrus or some influencer tweeted something and Snapchat (SNAP) lost $1BB of its value in one day. ETFs have proven to be a sustainable and organized way of investing.” - EL |
"Thanks to your model, I was able to pay cash for a (third) home with my trading profits.” - LC
“I finally put a good portion of my money in your system. I need a ruled based system, as what I have been doing is not working for me. At age 68 I will stick with this system as it looks better than anything else I have seen including buy and hold.” -AM
“Congratulations, David, on a great return last year! [2020] You lapped the SPY a couple of times." - JK
“I bought the book last year, studied it and have been following you for about 12 months. It's exactly the strategy I was looking for and makes perfect sense to me. I've recommended the book to several other people too.” - MS
“Dear Mr. Carter, I thank God that I happened upon your book "The 12% Solution." I'm from Austria and have been trading stocks for a long time on the side. But this strategy is insane. Thanks a lot for this. You changed my life with it.” -DG
“Your monthly indicator is unbelievable. I ran QQQ back to 1998. Key sell dates avoided all 3 bear markets. Key buy dates took advantage of all 3 bull markets. There were many short term buy and sell indicators but predicting the long-term bull & bear markets is awesome.” - CF
“I've done great with "The 12% Solution" philosophy on ETF's. We really appreciate you and your excellent advice and balanced approach. You have helped our retirement years more than anyone in terms of financial advice.” - TC
“David, I just read your 12% book in one sitting, kept me awake @ 5 am. Great stuff! I will finish the CASH book tonight. Thanks for the great common sense and information!” - MD
