The Formulaic Trending Mon thly Abstract


July 15, 2012: Overall RAM Score
=

+20.86

RAM Score is a proprietary trending tool that takes into account several dynamic components related to the U.S. markets and economy. It features a core baseline which allows for correlation between these multiple components so that they may be added together for an overall Ram Score. As a trending tool, we believe that a positive RAM Score indicates that the odds are stacked in favor of equity investments and a negative RAM Score indicates that odds are stacked Mapper Score is a proprietary trending tool that takes into account several dynamic components related to the underlying tM against equity investments. stocks represented within an index. It identifies certain strengths of individual stocks contained within an index and tracks how many meet minimum Our scoring requirements. As a trending tool, we believe that the higher the percentage of qualifying stocks, the greater the strength of the overall index. mechanisms do not guarantee that the markets will increase when scores are strong or decrease when the scores are weak. But we believe the long term TM correlation may be valuable for investing... Combining our trending features of RAM Score & Mapper Score with our Portformulas intricate Formulaic TM Investing Strategies results in a uniquely logical approach to investing that is exclusively available through Portformulas.

The overall RAM Score has increased from +14.95 last month to +20.86 this month... Representing a significant (albeit relatively small) 5+ point increase... But more interesting is that all 7 subcomponents are once again posftive. I dont believe we have ever seen all seven subcomponents registering positive with such a low overall RAM Score being posted. In some ways that is comforting, yet in other ways it validates all the concerns and hesitation that have become commonplace in the markets/economy. I believe this further explains the recent phenomenon of unusually high-inflow into index funds/ETFs over managed funds (the assumption being that managed money is losing out to unmanaged money). Well, at Portformulas we believe one should not settle for an index fund/ETF when one can use qualifying criteria to make strategic selections of individual stocks from within the desired index. In fact, this was the catalyst for our launching the Freedom Series in March 2012... Below you can see how the time weighted returns (TWR) ofthe models compore ogainst their corresponding index since inception:

**The above returns are time-weighted returns; time-weighted returns show the compound growth rate in a portfolio while eliminating the vaiying effect created by cash inflows and outflows by assuming a single investment at the beginning of the period and measuring market value growth or loss at the end of that period. Time-weighted returns also reflect performance after advisory fees have been deducted. The Freedom series invests in equities and based on the qualification criteria, may hold equity positions regardless of overail market movement. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investing in equities carries an inherent risk and it is possible that you could experience significant losses in the event ofa market decline. Please consider your risk tolerance carefuily before investing.

Simply put, we do not believe that all stocks within an index are worthy of ownership. As such, we seek to only own the stocks that fit our TM qualification criteria. (Take a look at our Mapper Score to see how many stocks are considered worthy of consideration based upon such criteria). Turning back to the markets and economy, the Fed is frustrated with the slow growth of the economy and the fact that record low interest rates have done little to spur demand. However, the Fed can likely claim that had rates not remained so low, the economy would be much worse off than it is. The real issue here is that the Fed needs to jump-start and/or stimulate the banks to loosen up on lending to quality borrowers.
Europe continues to throw curveballs and mixed signals as headlines shift from Greece and France to include Spain and Italy. In another part of

the world, China is reported to be slowing again as well. All in all, the US markets and economy are struggling with mixed signals, both positive and negative.
RAM Score reflects all 7 of 7 subcomponents as positive even though there was just a meager 5 point increase this month Resulting in a score of +20.86 regardless of mixed signals. The Mapper Scores have experienced only minor changes with the exception of a healthy jump for the

DJIA as it increased 9%. For more information you can visit www.portformulas.net or speak with your Financial Advisor (be sure to ask if the new Freedom Series is right for you and your investment goals). Best of Investing, Mike Walters, CEO
