Current Position and a Full Year's Performance Comparison

We issued our last Buy signal on July 20, 2009.  At the time of this report we remain Long.     For a bird’s eye view of the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index from August 27, 2008, check the chart below.  On August 27, 2008, we issued a Sell signal to our subscribers.

Tired of Buy and Hold Investing?

Have you still not recovered your losses from the dot-com bust and recent market downturn? Are you saving and investing for a secure future only to see your efforts diminished by a market that has taken away more than it has given?  Are you concerned that these forces beyond your control will ruin your retirement plans?   If you have answered yes to these questions, perhaps it's time to try a new approach to your saving and investing plan.

Strategic Trend Timing provides trend timing signals that tell you when to Buy and when to Sell. Our timing model has consistently beaten all the major stock market indexes for nearly 14 years running, and it has beaten them by no small measure.  

Our Retirement Savings Plan will provide you with outstanding returns, as well as the peace of mind in knowing that your life savings are not left to the whims of the market. Our time-tested technical model identifies the beginning of major market trends and provides an alert to either Buy or Sell.  Our service is not only profitable, but easy to use, as we have averaged less than 3 round trip trades per year.  We are unique among trend timers in that our model has not changed since 1996, we constructed all of our own technical indicators, and we use a low pressure, no-hassle approach to dealing with our customers. We are among the best performing trend timers in the country. We invite you to give us a try and see for yourself how we can help you meet your financial goals.
