Compass Investors urges subscribers not to focus on short-term results--whether
up or down--as you should instead focus on the superior results that HORIZON™ provides over the long-term (see
Market Cycle results that follow). HORIZON™ is the ONLY strategy that you can count on to produce increased gains in sustained up
markets and protection of account value in severe down markets thereby always keeping you
on the path towards having Retirement Income Security.
