Jockey Club Boot CampVectorVest has a long-term goal of developing effective, easy-to-use, automated portfolio management systems. In this regard, we have been integrating the tools, training and information you need to make money in the stock market without spending a lot of time and effort.

We are now pleased to announce the beginning of The Jockey Club Boot Camp, JCBC. It was created to provide a convenient format for helping subscribers learn how to build automated, real-time portfolio management systems of their own. Although the JCBC training sessions will originate in the Jockey Club, you do not have to be a Jockey Club member or trade in real-time to learn from them. All the JCBC sessions will be recorded and made available to ALL VectorVest subscribers via the Boot Camp Archive/Resource Page Link: www.vectorvest.com/BootCamp

The first training session will be held at 11:30am, Monday, June 19, 2017. It will focus on preparing for the Jockey Club Real-Time Portfolio Competition which begins on Monday, July 31, 2017. As with all of our previous portfolio competitions, there are rules and instructions.
