10 reasons a large share portfolio finally gets a professional exit process

Your portfolio has grown. The way you decide when to sell probably hasn't. Every formal recommendation arrives with a buy-under, a stop and a target, and twice a week you can test your own holdings against the two analysts behind them, live on Zoom.

What every formal recommendation looks likeExample
TARGET 2.30 BUY UNDER 2.00 STOP 1.85
Buy under$2.00
Stop$1.85
Target$2.30
Illustrative example only, not a real recommendation. Every formal Investor Plus recommendation gives you all three numbers before you buy.

Reason 01 · Process

Your portfolio grew. Your sell rules stayed the same size.

Most large direct portfolios are built one good idea at a time. The buying gets careful attention. The selling gets whatever is left over: a gut feel, a broker's call, a newsletter that only ever covers the buy. Every formal recommendation in Investor Plus arrives with three numbers: the price to buy under, where the analysts would step aside, and the target, with a timeframe.

At this size, the exit is where money is kept or lost. Research tells you what, not when. Here the when is written down before you commit a dollar, and you can hold your own positions to the same standard.

"One of the hardest thing is when to sell, they'll let you know what they think if its time to do that. … I cannot trade without this one."
Chris D.
"I have tried many other trade recomendation programs … and none compare. The difference is they teach you and explain why and why not to invest in a particular stock."
Steven D.
Reason 02 · The stop

On a large position, the stop does the heavy lifting

A small slide on a small holding is an annoyance. The same slide on a large one is real money, and slides rarely stop where you hoped they would. The stop-loss guidance tells you ahead of time how much you're prepared to lose, so a turning share costs a measured amount and the rest of your capital stays ready for the next idea.

Calls do miss. Stops are guidance and prices can gap past them. The stop is what keeps a miss small. Professionals cut losers and ride winners. Amateurs do the opposite. That's the game.

"Managing risk is where the Equity Story team excel. … Successful investment is about maximising the upside and limiting any damage on the downside."
Stephen M.
"They do not get 100% of their calls correct, but they do very well."
Roy R.
Reason 03 · The team

A chartist and a fundamentalist, checking each other's work

Every recommendation has to get past two people who read shares differently. David reads the chart. Pete reads the business. When one of them isn't convinced, you hear the argument.

Equity Story Pty Ltd holds Australian Financial Services Licence 343937 and is part of ASX-listed Aland Equity Group (ASX: AEG), so you can look them up before you join.

Reason 04 · Live

Ask The Analyst: bring your whole portfolio, twice a week

David TildesleyPeter KopetzYour hosts: David Tildesley and Peter Kopetz

Tuesday night or Friday lunchtime, you're on Zoom with David and Pete. Bring the holdings you've carried for years, the position that's grown bigger than you're comfortable with, or the stop you're unsure about. You get the chartist's read and the fundamentalist's read on the same share.

It's a second opinion you can question, from the two people who made the call, on the positions that matter most to you. The recordings sit in the archive if you miss a session.

"The Ask the Analysts sessions have been invaluable to assess shares I have bought as I navigate and build my portfolio."

"Before joining Equity Story I was getting expensive investment advice from a multitude of sources in order to assist me in managing share investments in my SMSF. … I have been able to significantly reduce the number of research subscriptions that I rely on."
Ian K.
Reason 05 · Daily

Daily Market Edge: 15–20 minutes, every weekday

David and Pete record it at their desks every weekday, with no studio and no script: what the ASX did, which shares they like and why, and the buy-under, stop and target for each formal recommendation.

Watch it with your morning coffee or on the commute. Most members fit it around a full-time job.

"The guesswork is gone and there is no panic buying or selling since finding Dave and Pete. … using the Cincinnati method the entry and exit points are laid out clearly."
Craig M.
Reason 06 · Sunday

The team's best idea for the week, in your inbox on Sunday night

Hot Stocks Weekly Pick is the team's highest-conviction idea for the week ahead, with entry, stop and target guidance. Read it on Sunday evening and Monday morning starts with the plan already written.

"A couple of days later and sold back out of it with a nice 15% return. Just on that one trade. Thats why I'm sticking with these guys."
Greg M.

Reason 07 · Signals

Einstein's Report: the weekly signal board

Every week the shares the team follows get a signal: Buy, Bullish, Sell or Bear, with the chart showing support, resistance and momentum. It's the quickest way to check whether something you already hold has turned, and what to steer clear of.

Buy
Bullish
Sell
Bear
"The Einstein's trends paid off for me… The emphasis on keeping your money safe while also staying a breast of current economic developments."
Kylie W.
Reason 08 · Method

Learn the exit-first method in week one

In your first week David teaches you the basics of the Cincinnati Trading Method: planning the exit, sizing the position, setting the stop. From then on you can see why each stop sits where it does, and run the same checks on the shares you already own.

"I strayed believing this particular stock was going much higher, but it never did and I paid the price for not following their advice. The system works…"
Chris D.
Reason 09 · For you

Built for investors who already know what they're doing

You've done the basics. What a portfolio this size needs is a disciplined second set of eyes on decisions that now carry real weight. Members who've traded for decades use Investor Plus as a check on their own process: compare your levels with the analysts' levels, hear the reasoning, then make your own call.

"I've been trading stock for 42 years… Part sceptic part believer in the charts. … I highly recommend this to new and old, like me, investors."
Matthew B.
"I like hearing the reasons behind the views and then making my own choices. … as an Economist by trade, I find it educational, interesting and entertaining."
Bryan T.
Reason 10 · The price

Why it's $247, and why that's enough

$247 is a low price on purpose: it lets you judge David and Pete on a year of real calls before you trust them with anything bigger. No tiers and no extras. The daily video, two live sessions a week, the Sunday pick, Einstein's Report, the method and the full archive, billed once, about 68 cents a day.

If the only thing this membership ever does is help you exit one losing position two days earlier, it has covered itself many times over. And if you decide within 30 days that it's not for you, you can ask for your $247 back under the 30-day refund policy (conditions apply).

Two paths. Choose the one that fits.

Path A: run your own portfolio with the exits worked out, for $247 a year, renews annually, cancel any time, 30-day refund policy (conditions apply). If you'd rather the professionals did it for you, there's a second path: the same team runs the Aland Australian Equities Fund (AAEF), $10,000 minimum, independently rated by Evergreen Ratings, responsible entity Primary Securities Ltd AFSL 224107, which returned +56.16% cumulative from 1 Jan 2023 to 31 Jan 2026 against a 26.91% benchmark.

FAQ

Questions people ask before joining

Is $247 too cheap to be serious?

It's the standard price and the only price. No monthly drip, no upsell maze, and we don't do fake was-prices. For it you get the same daily calls, the same live sessions and the same two analysts every member gets. Judge it on the calls.

Will this replace what I already do?

It sits beside it. Keep your own research and your own broker. Use the buy-under, stop and target as a check on your own levels, and bring the differences to Ask The Analyst on Tuesday night or Friday lunchtime.

Do your picks always go up?

No, and nobody honest will promise you that. Losses are part of investing and no approach avoids them. That's why every formal recommendation comes with stop-loss guidance, so you decide ahead of time how much you're prepared to lose. Stops aren't guaranteed: prices can gap past them. The method works on weekly charts, so judge a call over weeks. As one member put it: "They do not get 100% of their calls correct, but they do very well."

Is Equity Story licensed?

Yes. Equity Story Pty Ltd holds Australian Financial Services Licence 343937 and is part of Aland Equity Group Limited (ASX: AEG).

I'm fairly new to this. Will I keep up?

Yes. David covers the exit-first foundations in your first week, and you can bring any question to the live sessions, however basic it feels.

How much time does it take?

About 15–20 minutes a weekday for the daily video, plus the Sunday pick. The live sessions are optional, and the recordings sit in the archive if you can't make it.

Is this personal financial advice?

No. Investor Plus is general advice. It doesn't take your personal objectives, financial situation or needs into account. Consider whether it's right for you, and speak to a licensed adviser if you need personal advice.

What happens after I join?

You get instant access to today's video, the archive and the link for this week's live sessions. In your first week David takes you through the exit-first basics. You trade through your own broker; Equity Story never handles your money or places trades for you.

How does the refund policy work?

Give it a proper go: watch the daily videos, come along to at least one Ask The Analyst session and have a look at the weekend reports. If you decide within 30 days of joining that it's not for you, email support@equitystory.com.au and ask for a refund of your $247. Refunds are subject to our refund policy and its conditions. See the terms and conditions.

How does billing and renewal work?

It's $247 a year. Your membership renews automatically at $247 each year unless you cancel, and you'll get an email before it renews. Cancel any time before your renewal date by emailing support@equitystory.com.au and you won't be charged again.

Will you try to sell me other things?

Equity Story runs other things, such as the full Cincinnati Trading Method training and live events, and members hear about them. You don't need any of them to get full value from Investor Plus.

How is this different from other share newsletters?

Plenty of services give you the buy. Investor Plus gives you the exit plan as well, and twice a week you can put your questions to the analysts who made the call.

Do I need a particular broker?

No. Use whichever broker you like. Equity Story doesn't handle your money or place trades for you.
