Portfolio Software Founder on Fox Business News Wednesday

Hedge and mutual fund portfolio management software company’s founder will discuss “Easy Methods to Make Better Decisions in 2009” on an upcoming episode of “Countdown to the Closing Bell” on Fox Business News.

Charlotte, NC, December 30, 2008 — Alpha Theory founder and President, Cameron Hight, will be featured on Fox Business News’ “Countdown to the Closing Bell” on Wednesday, December 31st at 3:40pm. He will be discussing a two step approach to making better portfolio decisions in 2009.

Step 1: Before making any investment, force yourself to write down your potential profit if your thesis is correct, loss if you are incorrect and the probability of each.

Step 2: Use those numbers to calculate a basic risk-adjusted return. The math is easy and a calculator can be found on Alpha Theory’s website: www.AlphaTheory.com/calculator.
A risk-adjusted return becomes your tool to ensure that you are making a rational decision instead of relying on mental calculation or heuristics.

“Over the course of my career, I have seen countless instances where poor decisions would have been avoided by simply taking the time to calculate a risk-adjusted return prior to making a decision,” said Cameron Hight, founder of Alpha Theory. “This basic process of calculating risk-adjusted return takes very little time to become habit and creates a process that improves returns, reduces risk, capitalizes on volatility, and dampens the negative effects of emotion in financial decisions.”
