How do the returns from other trading vehicles compare to SMTP?
One obvious, basic consideration when comparing returns is that a lot of the high performing ETFs and Hedge Funds require an investor to make decisions - for example, a VIX Short 3x ETF is up >250% ytd but to obtain this return, an investor would decided to have 100% of their investment in this ETF on Jan 1st. What if they picked the 2x Oil Exploration ETF (down 97%) ? What is their exit strategy? With SMTP, no such decisions are necessary - it's trading algorithms are designed to identify high-performing sectors and place trades for stocks only in those sectors. A "sell" order will be placed when the algorithm identifies a downturn in the stock or sector. In fact, the only decision ever needed with SMTP is to start !!
