Riding the Bear - How to Prosper in the Coming Bear Market?
Released March, 1999, the Dow topped out just 9 months later on
January 14, 2000.
-
Called
the Nasdaq top and advised selling it short in early March 2000
as it passed 5,000 predicting it was about to plunge 35% to
3,300? (Confirmed by article in Barron's March 6, 2000 issue).
The Nasdaq topped out just four days later, March 10, at 5,048.
-
Gave
a buy signal to move to 100% invested on April 2, 2001, calling
for a "significant rally"?
The market bottomed just two days later, on April 4. Eight
weeks later the Dow and S&P 500 were up 19% while the Nasdaq
was up 41%.
-
Took
the profits from that rally in June and with sell signal on July
6, 2001 moved to 100% positioning for the downside with
short-sales, etc., in anticipation of the summer decline.
-
Took
the profits from the downside (20% on the short-sale of S&P
500 index) on September 20 and 21 (2001), which were the
exact two days of the market's September bottom.
-
Then
after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, gave a buy signal on
October 3, 2001 for another significant rally. The Nasdaq
was up 44%, and the S&P 500 up 23% just two months later.
-
Then
gave a sell signal on April 24 that was followed by six straight
months down to the October, 2002 bottom.
-
Then
gave a buy signal on October 17, 2002, calling for a substantial
rally to the 2003 high, which would "likely be the
beginning of the next bull market".
-
Developed
the Seasonal Timing Strategy© which had a compounded
total return over the last 6 years of more than four times the
total return of the S&P 500 (when 85% of professional
money-managers and mutual fund managers fail to even match the
S&P 500 over the long term). Further it did so with 50% of
market risk and just two trades a year.
