Does the market’s machine-driven volatility and uncertainty frustrate you? Tired of trying to do it all yourself? Would you like to find a way to truly managed risk, and play defense, not just offense, with your hard-earned wealth?

DIY investing doesn’t have to mean doing it alone.

That’s why we created ROAR Flex. It brings Rob Isbitts’ best investment ideas into one all-inclusive model portfolio. The same portfolio he runs for his own family.

  • Proactive Risk Management (“Avoid Big Loss” is the #1 rule here)

  • ETFs and Stocks, a “Go Anywhere” attitude

  • Actively traded…but not hyperactive

  • Rob manages the model, and provides the model signals to PiTrade.com

  • You can access ROAR Flex through PiTrade, a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), by opening an account custodied at Interactive Brokers or Schwab (after completing a risk profile to make sure ROAR Flex is a fit for your objectives).

  • Minimum account size is $100,000. Annualized management fee is 0.70%.

  • Stop juggling multiple buckets. Mirror Rob’s core personal strategy and invest with clarity. Click here to learn more and ask questions about the new ROAR Flex model portfolio.


As you see above, I’ll be speaking once again at The Money Show Orlando. I am part of The Money Show’s educational (non-sponsored) slate of presenters, which I am very grateful for. This annual event brings together a real “Who’s Who” of the investing industry, and I’m glad to have been invited back again.

My specific speaking slot is Tuesday, October 5, 2026, 5:25-6:10pm

The full 3-day event runs from Monday 10/5 through Wednesday 10/7.

Money Show Orlando is one of most vibrant, immersive, and interactive conferences I’ve attended. And aimed squarely at self-directed investors. If you decide to attend, let me know. I rarely get the opportunity to meet our audience in person.


The US mid-term elections are going to be a market-moving event. Perhaps even before they occur. But frankly, I think by the time we get to early November, the markets will have already spoken. Here’s what I mean.
