which we base our investment strategy. Then, just like "entry" and "exit"<br />

points in the stock market, we know exactly when and how to bet.<br />

Let me explain this approach to you. In many ways, investing in the<br />

stock market, the commodities markets, or buying and selling options is<br />

very similar to playing the game of Roulette. Both have certain<br />

probabilities to winning and losing.<br />

In statistics, we consider the commodities market, as well as the game<br />

of Roulette to be zero-sum games. That means the amount of money<br />

you win is equal to the amount I lose. That way, the sum of all wins and<br />

losses is zero. If you bet red and you win, the house loses the exact<br />

amount equal to your wager. If you bet black and the Roulette decision<br />

is red, you lose your wager. In the end, it is a zero-sum.<br />

The field of statistics grew tremendously during and after World War II.<br />

The United States and the United Kingdom were the dominant force in<br />

advancing this field. After the war, most of the newfound principles were<br />

applied to the business world. We find statistics in management, stock<br />

market forecasting, economic planning, and even sociology.<br />

Zero-sum means that whenever you win, the house loses -- there<br />

cannot be two winners. Now you may asked, "But what about the house<br />

edge? Doesn't the house always win in the long-run? How can you beat<br />

Roulette consistently?"<br />

Well, all good questions. In fact, these are the same questions my team<br />

and I asked ourselves as well. Whenever we compare playing Roulette<br />

to investing in the stock market, we find that your brokerage fees are<br />

like the house advantage. Without paying your broker a commission,<br />

you are not allowed to play the stock market game. On that same token<br />
