2.0 Introduction
FastBreak was reviewed in the July 1999 issue of Technical Analysis of STOCKS &
COMMODITIES, the premier technical analysis investment magazine. Their review, in
part, said, “This is easily the most elaborate fund switching software we’ve run across,
and it’d be worth the time to check it out.” The latest version of FastBreak you have in
your hands is far more advanced than the version reviewed.
FastBreak is an investment tool that relies on the Investors FastTrack database. For those
not familiar with FastTrack, it is a mutual fund & stock database and software analysis
package. The database is updated each day the market is open with the closing prices of
thousands of mutual funds, stocks and indexes. Users of FastBreak must be subscribers
to FastTrack and have the FastTrack software and databases installed prior to installing
FastBreak. Call Investors FastTrack at 800-749-1348 or visit their web site
www.fasttrack.net to subscribe.
Do not call FastTrack for information relat-
ing to FastBreak. We have a good working relationship with FastTrack but we are
completely separate companies.
The authors of FastBreak have completed a large number of studies using the software
and you may ask, “Why not just make the results available?” The simple answer is that
our investment objectives and risk tolerance may not be the same as yours. Also, with
the evolution of market conditions and the availability of new mutual funds and the dele-
tion of old funds these strategies can become dated. We have built an easy to use tool
that will allow any user to back test and study trading strategies.
FastBreak has been used by hundreds of investors since 1996, and some of our best en-
hancements have come from user suggestions. Thank you for your support, and we wish
you profitable trading.
