Answer 2

The best investments that my husband has made resulted in quite large gains resulting from a formula he created that has the ability to 'read' the market trends and calculates the probability of movement.

When the market fell drastically we made money, when the market climbed higher, we made money.

Answer 3

Theoretically, a best investment PROGRAM will result from such an approach, even if as many as four-out-of-five (nine-out-of-ten?) investments result in losses - the theory being, of course, that profits from the one winner will be enormous and will offset all of the losses.  History offers numerous examples.  But consider the role of timing.  If you are correct but are too far in advance of the "herd," you will not profit (the "herd" exhibits conventional thinking).  Until your highly original approach takes root on a mass scale, you will lament having your money tied up in potential, while it might have been earning decent profits (even sizable profits) elsewhere.  Or suffering losses.  In other words, you not only have to be right, you also have to be patient.  If you were to live forever, it might be worth waiting for a solid but unconventional idea to bear fruit.  But mortality is yet another manner in which timing must be considered.

Avoid all of this by joining the "herd," and you will have no best investments to cite.
