HELLO ST. LOUIS !!! Check out The BlackBay Group Blended Investment Strategy

The BlackBay Group, a specialized money management and investment firm, announced today that its marquee Blended Investment Strategy has returned a record +74.29% to investors since it began on March 15, 2010.  To compare, the S&P 500 has a return of +22.86% for the same time period.

The Blended Investment Strategy, which uses a computerized calculation to determine daily trades, is widely considered one of the most transparent and easy-to-understand choices for investors and traders.  The makeup of the strategy is one-third Precious Metals, one-third Oil & Gas, and one-third Real Estate; and uses no-load mutual funds from Profunds as the underlying investments.

The designer and lead trader of the Blended Strategy is Todd M. Schoenberger; an eighteen-year veteran on Wall Street known for creating bold investment products for individual and institutional investors.

“The Strategy is clearly trading at an optimal level and we couldn’t be more proud at The BlackBay Group,” boasted Schoenberger, who serves as the Managing Principal at BlackBay.  “We strive to maintain positive performance with limited risk.  It’s important for our clients to sleep well at night.”

The returns do not include a 2.4 to 3% annual management fee and past performance in not necessarily indicative of future results.  Interested investors are invited to learn more about The BlackBay Group by visiting the firm’s website at www.TheBlackBay.com

Instant View: U.S. jobless claims fall, but 4-wk average at 6-month high….Schoenberger quoted Chicago Tribune

NEW YORK: US stock index futures pointed to a lower open on Wednesday, extending earlier declines after retail sales fell for a second straight month and producer prices dropped more sharply than expected. Futures had previously been in moderately negative territory as investors found little reason to buy following steep equity gains in the previous session and as uncertainties persisted from Europe. Markets have been volatile this week, with the S&P moving more than 1 percent for the past two trading days. Anemic trading volume has amplified the moves, which have largely been dictated by the news flow from the eurozone. The weaker than expected data “continues to chip away at sentiment,” said Todd Schoenberger, managing principal at the BlackBay Group in New York. “This won’t be well received by the market.” Recent US economic data, most notably the May payroll report, has pointed to sluggish domestic growth, another concern amid uncertainty from the eurozone. Greece remains in focus ahead of the country’s June 17 elections, which could result in the country leaving the eurozone. European shares were down 0.5 percent. Questions also persist over whether a recent bailout plan for Spain’s banks would be effective, though a drop in the country’s bond yields spurred a late rally in US equities on Tuesday. “We’re facing some really serious issues in Europe over the rest of the week, and markets will chop around until after the election and we see some stability in European bonds,” said James Dailey, portfolio manager of TEAM Asset Strategy Fund in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. S&P 500 futures fell 6.6 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 37 points and Nasdaq 100 futures lost 10.5 points. With the news flow so uncertain many traders are also looking at market levels, with 1,300 on the S&P 500 emerging again as a focus this week.

The BlackBay Group profiled in the Quincy Herald Whig newspaper…..

Three cable news segments on Friday — two on CNN and one on Fox — featured a market and futures analyst promoting an investment group based in Payson.

Todd Schoenberger also has five television appearances scheduled for this week, three involving Bloomberg and two on Fox. Schoenberger is a managing principal at BlackBay Group and is in the process of opening a New York City office for BlackBay.

Todd Butterfield, CEO and president at BlackBay Group, said people often ask him why he chose to locate his multifaceted company “in the middle of nowhere” when they hear about his offices near Payson.

“Communications systems make it possible … to keep up with markets that are 24/7,” Butterfield said.

Just like the markets, Butterfield said, he has to be available at any hour.

“My day isn’t from 8 to 5. It’s 24 hours a day,” Butterfield said.

There is no such thing as an average day for Butterfield and local futures broker Chad Duesterhaus.

“A lot of reports come out at 7:30 a.m., so there’s lots of bond market action early,” Butterfield said.
