It took a little longer than I expected (what with the simultaneous launch of the Jubak Global Equity Fund) but it’s finally here…
Ta da!! The Jubak Asset Management newsletter and website.
As promised, as my thanks for a year of your loyalty to JubakPicks.com (Yep, I started this site just a little more than a year ago) all readers of JubakPicks.com can subscribe for half price. Yep, for just $150 a year—a 50% discount off the retail price of $299—you can get my new JAM Letter.
Everyone who signed up this month for special offers and all registered users of Jubakpicks.com will be getting an email this week that includes a discount code for 50% off the JAM subscription. So be sure that you’re either registered at JubakPicks.com or that you’ve signed up for our special offers email. To register, just hit the ‘register or login’ button in the upper right-hand corner of JubakPicks.com. (Being a registered member allows you to access my stock portfolios and comment on my blog posts, and it’s free.) Â To sign up for the special offers email, click here. (Just by the way, if you invest in my new mutual fund, Jubak Global Equity, you get a free subscription to JAM.)
Okay, so even after a 50% discount, $150 is real money. What do you get for your cash?
Every day, not once a month or once a quarter, the Jubak Asset Management (affectionately known as JAM) newsletter and blog delivers:
- First access to my thoughts on the day’s most important market events
- Breaking videos, shot from my desk at Jubak Asset Management, with up-to-the-minute commentary on what the news means
- Â The weekly “Saturday Evening Quarterback” email to get you ready for the week ahead
- My takes on stock market conditions in the U.S. and global stock markets in the short-, medium-, and long-runs
- My in-depth reports on hot (and cold) sectors, industries, and global markets
- A daily summary of events and trends sent via email after the markets close, at around 5:00 PM EST.
And all this goes to readers of JAM first and often exclusively.
For example: right now on JAM you’ll find posts on why Spain’s banks are the big winners from the euro stress test; the reorganization at Grupo Mexico that makes this copper producer a buy; the Mexican deal that puts more fizz in Brazil’s Ambev; my first video from JAM world headquarters on the fatal flaw in the euro stress test; and more.
So all you registered users and folks who signed up for special offers: look for my email later this week with your discount code. Or, go straight to the JAM site at Jubakam.com to subscribe now.
I would love to be able to invest in the Fund through Ameritrade and will most likely wait until I can do so. Please try to make this a priority. Maybe we can just email you a confirmation to get access if that is what is holding this up?
How do we know that the money we send to invest in JUBAX or JAM isn’t going into some offshore account so Jim can retire in luxury in some foreign land? We may never see our money again. Bernie Madoff comes to mind. I’d like to see my money held at my brokerage in my account.
Dear Pamela: this is Olivia, the admin on Jubak Picks. Could you please send me an email about the issue you had with your JAM subscription and I’ll try to straighten it out for you? Just hit the “contact us” link in the lower right hand corner of the website and I’ll be able to pick up your email. Thank you.
To folks who have pointed out the slowness on all three websites — our apologies, we’re getting a lot of traffic and have had some issues. Please know we’re working on it and doing everything we can.
Olivia, Admin
Hi Coach
Site too slow….
JAM Letter, Jubak Global Equity Fund
pages are not going beyond the home page.
Had the SAME issue as Pamela
Will you please help ?????
Thanks aplenty.
Although I registered a couple of weeks ago for the JAM to include a $150 discount and have received a new login code together with a discount code the payment page still shows that the cost will be $299. Is this an error on the site and will it corrected soon?
Jim, FYI, Vanguard’s brokerage cannot sell your JUBAX fund at this time. Said they “don’t yet have an agreement with the fund”. Broker said that there was a lot of other interest also. I invest in my IRA, which is with Vanguard, therefore it seems to be my only option unless I move some money to another broker with whom you have an agreement and open another IRA. Thanks.

FYI. The Jubak fund is listed at Yahoo, so I imagine it can be pulled up at other financial sites.
According to Yohoo, the JUBAX fund is NOT an emarging markets fund even though it is expected to have some emerging markets stocks in its portfolio.
Note. Jim just got his fund running. Give him time to work on additional options such as buying through a broker. Many funds do not allow non-US contributions.
Buying through a broker costs. At E-Trade for instance, a no-load fund costs 25 dollars to purchase and 25 to sell. Dealing directly with Jim will cost nothing — expect the expense ratio of course.
Hi Jim,
I am very sad to find out that International Investors are not allowed to invest in your fund. I have been a loyal follower since you began on MSN and really want to invest in your fund. Please take applications without a US SIN or pay for on-line brokers to want to handle your fund.
I have a question. how will you be able to post or email information about your picks, AND make those picks and selections in the fund? Isn’t that frowned on by the SEC?
Jimineer, I’ve sold most of my portfolio of individual stocks and put the money into Jubak Global Equtiy Fund. That’s why in updates to picks that I once owned, I’m now saying that I don’t own shares anymore. I now own very few stocks–some stuff that doesn’t fit the global focus of the fund such as small bank stocks.
Jim,
Will you be investing your own money in your new fund?
Jim: I have been a follower of yours back to the days of MSN. I have been concerned how you finally might take your talent into a money making enterprise. Well you have exceeded my expectations with all your new stuff! But, I have concerns about: The fact that you have never been in the game of Mutual Fund Manager. The minor Foreign Tax Filing problems, your initial fairly high fees,(understandably) and your resonably aggressive style. However having said that, I have always felt that you, unlike other analysts, always had the investors welfare at heart. So I am going to invest in your “Jubax” even though I am 70 and my time frame is shorter term than it should be for your fund. Why? Because I trust you. GC
I opened an account with the fund for $1000 and will invest a lot more when Schwab accepts the fund. I called the fund and they assured me I could transfer to my Schwab trust and IRA accounts at no cost. To those who carp about the funds 1.75 % cost—It will look cheap, cheap, cheap if Jim does half a well as he did with Jubak’s Picks.
How long does it take to get the brokers on-board??
So far the fund isn’t available through any broker just directly online. Some platforms wouldn’t list us until we were up and running for a while. Others wanted an astonishingly high fee to let their clients buy our shares. And, just as importantly if people by us through a broker we never have anyway of knowing who they are. At this point we’re evaluating the options. I understand the importance of sending money to someone you’ve done business with before and of getting one statement, etc. We’re working to figure out the best solution. It just may take a while.
Jim
Do you have any idea when jubax will be available through brokers? Mine is Fidelity.
Jim, I tried to invest in your fund thru my broker, but it wouldn’t go thru.
I have the same concern as drmdrd , I would like to invest through my brokerage and get the benefit of the free subscription
if I invest through my brokerage, how do you know that I’ve subscribed so I can get the free newsletter?
Done, Done, and Done. Thanks Jim.
Question (I also asked this on the new site) You mentioned earlier that one of the benefits of becoming a JAM member was some prizes, one of which was a dinner with you (Al’la Warren Buffet)
If we sign up and send money to the fund, does that put us in the running ?
