Welcome to ValueAverager

This is the inaugural post of the ValueAverager blog. This blog will the primary way for me to keep you informed about news and happenings at ValueAverager.

The ValueAverager website is scheduled to be launched in beta mode in July, 2007. The site will be free to use for a period while we work out the kinks. Subscribe to the RSS feed or subscribe via email (on the right side of this page) to make sure you know when to act to take advantage of the free beta period.

What is ValueAverager?
ValueAverager is like a satellite navigation system for investing. If you've ever driven with a GPS system, you know that you enter your destination, and a machine with a gentle voice tells you exactly what to do at each step of the way. With ValueAverager, you enter your financial goal, and our "navigation system" makes sure you get there.

For example, suppose you decided that you need $2 million to fund your retirement twenty years from now. ValueAverager can take those values and map out a "value path" which will guide you to that goal. Based on how your investments perform, you will be prompted to save more or less each quarter. If you follow the recommendations, you are guaranteed to reach the goal!

Why ValueAverager?
When planning for long term goals like retirement, most people just save what they can and keep their fingers crossed. Very few people know if they are saving enough, and some may be saving too much!

With ValueAverager, you can get rid of the uncertainty about whether or not you will achieve your financial goals. We show you what you need to do, and we provide periodic guidance to keep you on track.

I will be posting additional details gradually over the next few months. In the meantime, we are hard at work finishing up and testing the site. Please subscribe to this blog's feed (on the right side of this page) to keep up-to-date on our progress.
