Daily Email Updates, When Necessary
We publish weekly - that's 52 issues a year, and each newsletter provides the current status of our timing models. You're kept current on weekday buy/sell signals, when they occur, with email "Hotlines." To maximize the effectiveness of our timing models, combine buy signals with top monitored funds in relative strength. We list those funds in our newsletter in all the categories that correspond to our general timing models, including special columns for Direxion, Fidelity, ProFunds, Rydex and Vanguard funds.
Track Major and Intermediate Trends
We recognize that investors have different risk tolerance levels - that's why we provide bull/bear market signals for both long-term trends and intermediate-term trends for each of our timing models.
We define the intermediate-term trend as a period between several weeks and several months long. Focusing on the intermediate-term trend allows a trader to control risk effectively without the wide price swings associated with long-term trend strategies. Trades 2 round-trips a year, on average - more with Gold Timing Model - goal is to sidestep corrections and bear markets.
We define the long-term trend as a 1-2 year period. A big picture perspective means more volatility, but less trading than is associated with our intermediate-term trend strategies. Typically trades once every 1-2 years - goal is to sidestep bear markets.
Our timing signals are generated with proprietary technical, objective strategies.
As with all timing strategies, our models experience losing trades and occasional whipsaws, but they stand aside during the big declines and have provided a respectable long-term return.
We provide; you decide.
