"Wall Street won't make you rich. It's stealing from you."
-- Market Watch
Which Investment Strategy Actually Made
Money During the Great Crash of 2008?
Imagine raking in 84.60%
returns in 2008 while the
S&P500 index lost 38.49%
Swing Timing Alert subscribers have done exactly that
Most investors will remember 2008 as one of the worst years in Wall Street history. But for members of my Swing Timing Alert system, it was a year of astounding profits.
Utterly immune to the global credit crisis, this strategy enabled its members to make steady double-digit profits while other investors were losing their shirts
A year ago, few pundits could have predicted such astonishing and market-changing events as the collapse of Wall Street giants Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, a $100 fall in the price of oil, and 0% interest rates.
The summary of global stock markets' performance in 2008 in the Economist magazine's year-end issue makes for grim reading. The MSCI World index dropped 44.70%. The MSCI Emerging Market Index fell 55.20%, while the MSCI Developed World Index dropped 43.30%.
So how did the U.S. stock market fare in comparison?
After languishing among the ranks of the worst-performing global stock markets since the dotcom collapse, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the year as the third best-performing market index in the world, dropping "only" 39% in 2008.
That put it just behind Switzerland and Japan, the latter's U.S. dollar return boosted by a substantial appreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar.
Records were broken in 2008 -- money-losing records from an investor's perspective. U.S. stocks recorded their worst calendar year since 1931. As measured by the S&P 500 Index, the broader market tanked 39% while the Dow Jones Industrials fell 36%.
U.S. stocks are already "dead money" since 1996. They've shown no net gain at all - including dividends. The ongoing market environment is eerily similar to another period of dismal returns - from 1966 to 1982. During those 16 years, the Dow and S&P 500 Index posted zero profits. Adjusted for soaring inflation, the markets actually recorded a loss.
NO Explanations Required. The Chart Says it ALL.
Buy & Hold is DEAD!
Global equities as measured by the MSCI World Index posted its worst year since inception in 1969. International equities fared even worse with European and Japanese stocks down more than 45% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index clobbered - down 53% in 2008.
World Markets Got Trashed in 2008
For stocks, the bear market resulted in record mutual fund outflows as investors continued to dump their holdings and run for cover into money market funds.
Unfortunately, money market funds are now paying barely any yield at all since the Fed slashed interest rates to effectively 0% on December 16, 2008.
Only Treasury bonds, European and Japanese government bonds yielded a profit for investors in a wickedly harsh year for investors. As a currency investor, naturally you already know that the Japanese yen was also a winner against the dollar and euro as the "carry-trade" came to a crushing halt.
So Much for "Diversification"
With the exception of super-safe and low yielding U.S. Treasury bonds, yen and gold, the entire gamut of assets from stocks to non-Treasury bonds all plummeted in 2008.
Commodities, certain currencies, fine art and hedge funds all succumbed to brutal price declines. Overall, 2008 was the first losing year for U.S. and global stocks since 2002 and the worst period to be invested in financial and hard assets in more than 75 years.
Stop-losses rang out like pinball machines in 2008. Diversification across sectors, industries, countries and currencies proved futile. Almost everything was pummeled. By October 10, a panic gripped world markets as the threat of systemic collapse threatened the viability of the banking system.
By now, we are all intimately familiar with the tremendous damage levied on so many stock portfolios. Many people saw millions of dollars evaporate into the financial ether this year, and I can only hope that you weren't one of them.
Now I don't want to go on and on about the problems we've had this year, as I'd rather focus on the positives. But let's take a moment and reflect one last time on the market of 2008 by taking a look at a chart of the S&P 500.
Not a pretty picture, I grant you, but a picture that tells the hard truth about financial markets. That truth is this -- markets can, and do, drop significantly from time to time, and in 2008 the time had come.
My name is Roger Williams and today I am going to introduce you to an alternative investment strategy that dynamically moves to the markets' tune and makes money in both bull and bear markets.
It's time to turn the fear-based mindset surrounding our current economy into one of opportunity and prosperity...
If you find yourself stressed and worried about your financial future, you're not alone. Investors around the country are finding out that they have a bull market only portfolio.
If you're tired of cringing when you open your brokerage account, I have great news... swing investing offers a direct pathway to the biggest profit opportunities most investors will ever see.
You see, the odds of making money in this market are almost impossible if you just buy and hold stocks. As the markets continue to sputter out and companies drop left and right, don't get dismayed.
If you have a traditional portfolio that invests in stocks and bonds only, then its time to explore alternative investments like a reverse-index ETF to protect your stock exposure.
If you're like many people, you are probably pulling your hair out over the current state of the US economy and stock market. Wall Street's biggest firms have failed... banks on Main Street have failed... corporate earnings are falling... crude oil rockets to an all-time high... and then falls more than $100 in a matter of months.
Today's stock market beast is not the same animal it was a decade ago. In fact, the pace of change has been relentless in recent years, and even the most conscientious individual investor has had a tough time keeping up with all of the financial market upheaval.
The Swing Timing Alert would like to help you make some sense of this mess... and more importantly, show you how to protect your wealth and prosper in the years ahead.
Is it still possible to make money in this environment? It's hard, but not impossible. Now it's time for you to join the "who cares," crowd...
The smart people who don't give a rat's you-know-what about the recession, inflation, the U.S. dollar, credit crisis or real estate mess.
That's because, these "who cares" people are pretty much unaffected by all of today's financial misery.
Have you ever dreamt of making profits in the stock market when it is going up and also when it is going down? That's exactly what the Swing Timing Alert (STA) system is designed to do.
The Swing Timing Alert system gained 84.60% in 2008 while the S&P500 index LOST 38.49% and the Nasdaq composite LOST 40.54% during the same time (all trades are clearly documented with buy & sell dates and prices).
The STA System outperformed the S&P500 by 123.09 and the Nasdaq by 125.14 percentage points. Do you know of any other system making that kind of return during the most brutal market slump in recent history?
That's the thing about Swing Timing Alert… you can continue growing your profits both during bull & bear markets!
Best of all, you make these profits simply by switching between two very special index ETFs. On an average, a fund switch is required only once every 6 weeks.
At the Swing Timing Alert, we always have our members correctly positioned... when the market goes up... and when it goes down.
75% of affluent investors own alternative investments as reported recently in research conducted by The Phoenix Company. With the current market uncertainty, isn't it time you learnt an alternate investment strategy?
If there is one secret to long term investment success, it's what George Soros highlighted in his Congressional testimony -- that hedge fund managers forgot "the cardinal rule" of hedge fund investing: "protect capital during down markets." That's also been the secret behind the remarkable success of the Swing Timing Alert.
But let me be clear. This is NOT simply a bear market strategy. This is an opportunity to profit when the market rises AND when it falls.
It is fine to invest with a bias to the upside. Over the long term, stocks have consistently gone up. But your investing success should not depend exclusively on a rising stock market.
Who Can You Depend On?
Lehman Brothers has gone bankrupt... Merrill Lynch has been taken over by Bank of America... and AIG, the world's largest insurance company, has been forced into a restructuring.
Everybody and their mother is outraged about the $165 million in bonuses to be paid out to AIG executives. But the outrage is misdirected. As the Obama administration quickly discovered, the contractual obligations to these executives are not easy to break. These contracts are protected by law because AIG is still a functioning legal entity. Put simply, these undeserved bonuses must be paid out because an undeserving company is being kept in business.
See, dear reader, how the rot keeps spreading? These ridiculous bonuses are a direct result of the government preventing the free market from doing its work. Japan's "Lost Decade" happened for precisely the same reason. The bailouts are the real outrage. Kill 'em all. Let bankruptcy sort them out!
|
Before that we saw Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bailed out by Uncle Sam!
There are many more skeletons out there… we just do not know yet how big the graveyard is.
The news just keeps going from bad to worse... and the horrific may be yet to come.
These markets have a long way to fall and the notion that the west is in for a Japan-style situation is becoming more likely with the threat of DEFLATION in asset prices very real, possibly even depression.
Noble Laureate for 2008, economist Paul Krugman has expressed some strong views on the myopic nature of governance being conducted by select state governors in the US. The reason why this is being done is because the state governments are making efforts to solve severe fiscal problems.
However Krugman fears that this may make the economic crisis even worse. The economist believes that the state governors are slashing spending on health care, education and infrastructure, often at the expense both of their most vulnerable constituents and the nation's economic future.
The economist has justified his view by stating that while the recession has led to a slump in private spending, it made no sense to add to the problem by cutting public spending too. Especially since the cost of public spending is much lower now than in more prosperous times as it does not have to compete with private investment for scarce resources like labor and capital. Further, he has also questioned the logic of the central government busy bailing out large entities while basic infrastructure is being compromised due to lack of funds available at the state level.
When it comes to your future, you already know you can't depend on the government... you can't depend on your employer... and you sure as heck can't depend on the banks and Wall Street!
So who CAN you depend on? Who MUST you depend on?
YOURSELF!
It's Time to Take Your Financial
Future Back from Wall Street
The traditional financial options aren't doing us any justice. And those that continue to stick with the herd will continue to take losses. And, now the game has gotten very serious.
Only determining your own path to individual sovereignty will help you survive this extinction.
It's time to free yourself from market mayhem and start forging a new path because this crisis doesn't promise to spare any of your traditional investment opportunities. But through it all, a few new and unique investment strategies will emerge and fare much better.
News these days is increasingly filled with references to the crash of 1929 and the Great Depression. Here is a graph that compares the current crash with three previous crashes the US stock markets have seen, including the crash of 1929.
Don't be Fooled by Bear Market Rallies
In previous bear markets, including the 2000 to 2002 period, equities did manage to post some big rallies. Of course, these intermediate or short-term advances were just opportunities to sell stocks as markets eventually broke down to newer lows.
What's amazing about the last bear market is that stocks continued to plunge even as the Federal Reserve aggressively cut lending rates. Turn the calendar ahead seven years and we're pretty much in the same pickle.
The bulls point to the Fed as their stock-market savior. I'm not so sure. Yes, it's hard or even futile to "Fight the Fed" when the central bank is printing like mad and desperately trying to re-inflate the money-supply.
But investors tend to forget that despite the Fed's best efforts starting in January 2001, Greenspan and his boys were unsuccessful in halting a massive slide in stock values. From January 2001 until December 2002, the Fed cut rates from 5.50% to 1.25%, yet the S&P 500 Index still plunged a cumulative 36%.
Since the Bernanke Fed began cutting rates last September, the S&P 500 index continued its precipitous descent into the abyss... not exactly a successful rescue.
The depth of this crisis is enormous and although we're probably two-thirds of the way through the worst of this debacle, its implications for the economy will linger for many years.
Forewarned is Forearmed
Every recession we've had in the last 95 years was due, at least in part, to the Federal Reserve.
The explanation is simple really. The economy is far too complex and dynamic for the Fed to accurately project where it will be a few years from now.
And to make matters worse their most effective tool for controlling the economy - interest rate adjustments - can take six to eighteen months to work their way through the economy.
In other words, the only way the Federal Reserve can save the economy from a recession is to know it is coming at least six to eighteen months in advance.
Even with the tools the Fed has, this is virtually impossible. And it's the main reason why they're so late responding to the economic cycle. Here's a quick scenario.
If the Fed thinks the economy is growing too fast, they'll keep interest rates high. The longer they keep rates high, the more the economy slows down.
In fact, the Fed usually won't lower rates until they see signs of an economic downturn. By the time they see these reports, the recession is almost completely underway and the Feds first interest rate cut won't be felt for another six to eighteen months!
The best way to think about how the Fed can help us in an economic downturn is like this -- they try to make sure recessions don't turn into depressions.
So don't get lured into making bullish bets because you think the Fed can save us from a recession. They just don't have the power to do that.
By any measure, we are deep in bear market territory. And for those who invest accordingly, that can be a good thing. Bear markets are when some of the market's greatest fortunes are made.
This is no time to ignore the evidence and "hope" for the best. But neither is it a time to run and hide. Prepare properly and a bear market can make you a fortune. So, how should you invest in a bear market?
One reason so many investors are getting clobbered is that they're holding on way too long. If you're sitting in a movie theater and folks start yelling "Fire," you don't just sit there and watch the action unfold around you. Do that, and you'll get burned. It's no different with investing.
That's why trailing stops are always a good idea: They can help you protect your principal and your profits during good markets; and they're absolute life savers when the going gets really rough -- as it's been lately.
highly recommend you protect your assets against further market turmoil. This market is not going to settle down anytime soon.
Snap out of it folks. Now you have 2 options :
- Continue to believe the nonsensical high-fivers who cast aside the obvious and routinely parade their bullish cases on CNBC, or
- Position yourself now to rake in the spoils of your lesser informed investing brethren.
Option 1 investors fall for the standard "position yourself defensively" line touted by the so-called professionals. Two to three years from now, they will be looking back to this time and wonder why they allowed their accounts to melt away.
Option 2 investors are not happy with mere "capital preservation." They will take the bear by the ears (or the bull by the horns) and ride their accounts to unprecedented levels.
Outperforming the market is exponentially easier in a down market than it is in an up market. Don't allow yourself to be paralyzed by the headlines, or misled by the misled.
The Economic Challenges Are Truly Formidable
We're smack dab in the middle of the worst financial crisis in a generation. Investors have responded by dumping stocks and fleeing for the relative safety of Treasury bills.
Stocks have fallen more than 50% from their highs in fall of 2007.
The "Super Crash" has already devastated millions of Americans... while savvy investors are getting richer.
But you won't hear this story from the mainstream press, the Wall Street machine or the bureaucrats in D.C.
Instead, they'll tell you about the tanking stock market one day... and the housing crisis the next...
You'll hear about soaring gas and food prices... inflation... the credit crunch... the exploding trade deficit... the stagnating economy... falling oil prices… deflation… one sound bite at a time.
But they're missing the big picture!
Fact is, the broad range of threats facing the U.S. economy, not just isolated events anymore. They're swirling together to create a wealth-destroying "Super Crash" growing much more damaging than the sum of its parts.
Indeed, more dangerous than anything we've seen since the Great Depression.
The bears believe we're at the cusp of a major financial unwinding. They're saying this market environment will eventually parallel the events of the Great Depression in the 1930s.
Many analysts agree 2007 marked the "beginning of the end" of the global financial system. The devil threatening the financial order is Wall Street's monster called "securitization."
The securitization beast developed into a monster after former Fed Chairman Greenspan's relentless push to bring interest rates down to 1% by 2003. He was trying to stave-off deflation following the mini-2001 economic recession.
Although Greenspan's monetary policy gamble worked, the policy combined with the Bush tax cuts to boost GDP growth also created a leveraged beast. The monster grew as Wall Street packaged and repackaged mortgage-backed securities tied to leverage.
Low rates always entice financial product innovation. When Greenspan made U.S. money available literally for "free" at 1% or less by 2003, the securitization monster went wild. In a low interest rate world, credit spreads for all types of fixed-income securities plunged to historically low levels by mid-2007.
According to a recent opinion piece in Forbes by economists Brian S. Wesbury and Robert Stein, mark-to-market accounting was responsible for the collapse of many banks during the Great Depression.
The history seems clear. Mark-to-market accounting existed in the Great Depression, and according to Milton Friedman, who wrote about it just 30 years after the fact, it was responsible for the failure of many banks.
Franklin Roosevelt suspended it in 1938, and between then and 2007 there were no panics or depressions. But when FASB 157, a statement from the Federal Accounting Standards Board, went into effect in 2007, reintroducing mark-to-market accounting, look what happened.

Then the party ended...
With housing values accelerating their decline across most U.S. markets, the entire gamut of mortgage-backed securities and other markets tied to leverage all began to unravel by August 2007.
The toxic spillover has spread to other segments of credit, including consumer loans, corporate loans, credit-card debt, mono-line insurers, auction rate securities, and other synthetic derivatives.
The result is a massive policy challenge for the United States. A whole year later, the banking system remains heavily stressed.
How does the United States -- the world's largest and still the most influential economy, control deflation in housing and bank credit combined with skyrocketing food and energy prices? You could say 2008 is a bizarre twist of 1930s deflation mixed into a deadly toxin of 1970s stagflation.
The economic challenges are truly formidable...
According to some analysts, a deep economic recession in the United States will morph into a 21st century Great Depression. This will happen as housing values continue to deteriorate and a greater number of banks fail.
Unemployment will soar, bread lines will re-emerge and the dollar will become worthless as America's largest trading partners dump Treasury's.
Since October 2007, global markets have declined 50% or more. The majority of non-Treasury securities markets have also been pummeled and housing values across several industrialized countries continue their downward spiral.
Global balance sheets, both personal and corporate, continue to hemorrhage in the worst attrition of values since the 2000 to 2002 bear market.
There's no hiding the damage already inflicted to global portfolios this year and over the last 12 months.
Bottom line is this... The "Super Crash" isn't coming... It's already here. And with the crisis deepening by the day, millions more will suffer the consequences.
One day the Dow is up 500 points and you're smiling. You're confident that you'll get back to making money soon. Then the next day it's down 500 points and you're kicking the furniture around...
It can be difficult during all the short-term panic and uncertainty to ask yourself the important questions like: "What if this goes on for another five or even 10 years?"
Can your portfolio really handle that?
The days where we just shoved money into a couple of mutual funds and left them alone, under the premise of "long term investing" are over.
If you really want to survive and prosper in the global economy, you have to pay close attention to how geopolitical and economic changes are shifting and re-balancing spheres of wealth.
I've always been very bullish on the marketplace in general, but now I'm honestly starting to question what's going on. Somehow, I don't think most analysts and economists are getting the bigger picture in the grand scheme of things.
Let me tell you what really shook me up…
I read recently that the Japanese stock market peaked at around 39,000 nearly 20 years ago. Now it's less than a fifth of that, having lost 80% of its value. Okay, most of us know that fact, but how many of us have considered the effects a similar event would have on our markets?
... So what if the Dow peaked at 14,000 a year ago, and it simply meanders between 10,000 and 12,000 for the next five years or 10 years? Who's making any money there?
Let's go back to 1999. If you remember, every person and their cousin owned and bragged about Cisco as a major stock holding in their portfolio. Considering all stock splits, it went from around US$2 in 1990 to around US$100 in 2000. But when the tech bubble popped, it plummeted to below 20 and has been trading in the low 20s for eight years now.
If we looked back even further to the early 70s, we were mired in an unpopular war and the stock market meandered for years and years.
Now ask yourself..."Can I afford that kind of waiting period, were the same to happen to stocks in my current portfolio?"
Where Will Your Retirement Be if
the Market Trades Sideways for the
Next Ten Years?
I don't have to tell you that the economy is facing some serious long-term problems. And the stock market is going to reflect this for some time to come.
Sure, there will be some sharp rallies in the months and years ahead. And there will also be some serious declines, perhaps even lower than what we have just been through.
But what if the stock market trades within a range and ends up in the same place it is today five or ten years down the road?
I'm not suggesting that's going to happen, but it certainly could. In fact, that is exactly where we are in today. Take a look at the S&P over the last 10 years...
And the U.S. is not alone in this regard. For the Japanese, the round trip has been even more painful...
Are you prepared to profit if the markets go nowhere for the next few years? Or worse, what if they continue to fall? How would it affect your retirement if your investment portfolio doesn't grow for a decade?
These questions are not pleasant to think about, but they are considerations you simply must address. But don't worry. I have some great news for you.
In this letter, I will show you how to utilize the "world's most popular security" to make substantial profits when the markets rise AND when they fall.
In a moment I will tell you what "world's most popular security" is... how we used it to safely produce a 84.60% return in 2008... and how you can take part as the winning streak continues.
Instead of worrying about whether the market is going to crash or when it will recover... wouldn't you rather have peace of mind, confident that your wealth is secure and growing?
Of course, not every play is a winner. But with this strategy, you only step into the market when the odds of success are heavily tilted in your favor. You'll soon see just how profitable (and safe!) this can be.
Do you want to make a 30% - 40% return in 2009 and still sleep soundly?
Are you tired of the daily grind of going to work everyday?
Are you worried about your retirement in a falling market?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then you will be very pleased by what you are about to learn. But before I tell you how it all works, let's begin with the benefits...
The Top 10 Benefits of Trading the "World's Most Popular Security"
- Supercharge Your Returns, Without Jacking Up Your Risk - With this strategy, you can earn significant profits with just a small slice of capital. That way, you keep the bulk of your portfolio in stable, long-term investments while a smaller portion of your portfolio generates profits on both the long and short side of the market. This gives you a superior hedge, effectively REDUCING your risk in the markets.
- Profit in a Rising or Falling Market - If you're serious about increasing your wealth in the coming years, you must be prepared to profit from swings in the market in both directions. With this strategy, you can enjoy your own personal, never-ending bull market, profiting when the markets rise AND when they fall.
- The Greater the Volatility, the More You Could Make - As long as the markets exist, fear and greed will cause them to fluctuate. And that's all you need to profit. Recession, stock market crashes... none of that takes away this opportunity. And rarely have we seen such wildly fluctuating prices as we do TODAY, which means you have an unprecedented opportunity!
- Keep Your Money in the Safety of Cash - The longer your money is in the market, the more you have to worry about a news event or economic report that could turn the tide against you. With this strategy you can sleep at night, because you are only in the market for short periods of time. Otherwise, your money stays in cash, earning interest.
- Earn Big Gains without Putting a Lot of Money at Risk - Another major advantage is the ability to control an asset of significant value using a small amount of capital. That means a small move in the underlying security can make you a significant amount of money. It could also allow you to earn big gains without putting a lot of money at risk.
- Instant Diversification with One Trade - The "world's most popular security" allows you to "buy the market" or "sell short the market" as a whole, with a single trade. This gives you instant diversification without the need to tie up a large sum of money, and virtually eliminates company specific risk.
- Save Valuable Time and Effort - Because you can easily participate in broad market moves with just one decision, you save considerable time. Instead of having to analyze and choose between hundreds of stocks and ETFs, you can make a simple trading decision based on your overall outlook for the stock market.
- Extreme Liquidity - The daily trading volume of the "world's most popular security" rivals that of money markets. This extremely high liquidity means you can get in and out of trades quickly and at a good price. Compare that to options which often have very wide bid/ask spreads or stocks which can gap up or gap down on the slightest bit of news, and... well, there is no comparison.
- Compound Your Wealth or Generate Weekly Cash Flow - Trading the "world's most popular security" can be an ideal way to generate consistent weekly cash flow. If income is your goal, you could take your profits out of the market each week or each month. Or you could compound your gains to multiply your wealth.
- Get Started With a Small Amount - Perhaps the best part of all is that you do not have to have a large amount of money to get started. This opportunity has truly leveled the playing field. You can begin trading this strategy with as little as $5,000, although I recommend you start with at least $7,500 - $10,000.
That is quite a list of benefits, something very few opportunities can match. So without further adieu, allow me to explain how it all works...

So, What is the Swing Timing Alert Secret?
NO GUESSWORK - NO SPECULATION! That's right. After years of research and testing, we have a proven system that removes all the guesswork, speculation, and human emotion … no more relying on "gut feelings" or second-guessing as the market swings from bull to bear and back.
Rather, with the Swing Timing Alert system, you are relying on an automatic trading process that applies computer analysis to the forces of supply and demand on stock prices and pinpoints when to be in the market and when to be out.
What you get is a trading system offering high returns with low risks, requiring very little time to monitor.
How can the Swing Timing Alert do that? It is a unique trading service that uses leveraged index ETFs to profit from moves in both bull and bear markets. This opens up many exciting possibilities.
Instead of riding the roller coaster of the market on a continuous basis, subscribing to STA will enable you to trade in and out systematically - week after week - according to the buy & sell signals that we send you via e-mail.
The Swing Timing Alert system is always on a buy or a sell signal. When it is on a BUY signal, we buy the Ultra QQQ Proshares exchange traded fund (symbol QLD). This is an index ETF tied to the Nasdaq 100 index. It has a beta of approximately +2, meaning it moves twice as fast as the Nasdaq 100 index, both up and down. Because this fund has a positive beta, it moves in tandem with the Nasdaq 100 index, gaining in value when the market goes up and losing in value when the market goes down.
When the Swing Timing Alert goes to a SELL signal, you simply sell QLD and buy the UltraShort QQQ Proshares exchange traded fund (symbol QID). This is a reverse index ETF tied to the Nasdaq 100 index with a beta of approximately -2 (minus two), meaning it moves twice as fast as and inversely with the Nasdaq 100 index. Thus, the fund gains in value when the Nasdaq 100 index is falling.
Investing Simplified with Minimal Transaction Costs!
Best of all, you can buy and sell these ETFs at any discount broker and pay minimal commissions. If you already have a brokerage account, you are all set to trade these ETFs. Otherwise, just open an account at any online discount broker like :
- Fidelity
- Scottrade
- TD Ameritrade
- Or just perform a search for "best online discount broker" on Google
The idea of trading multitudes of stocks to make a good return is beginning to seem like a century-old concept.
In the 21st century you need a simple, exciting investment service like the Swing Timing Alert … where you can switch between two ETFs, avoiding any confusion… where questions like what to buy, when to buy, and when to sell are automatically answered for you.
When you subscribe to the Swing Timing Alert, you will receive an e-mail with a specific BUY and SELL signal. When there is a signal change, this message will arrive in the morning by 6:30 am. EST, giving you ample opportunity to execute your ETF trade when the market opens at 9:30 am EST.
Once you receive a BUY or SELL signal, all you have to do is make a phone call to your broker or better yet place your trade through their internet website.
On an average a buy or sell signal is generated once every 3 weeks. That means you have to make an exchange only once every three weeks and enjoy life instead of worrying about the market everyday.
BOTTOM LINE: When investing in these funds, you can always be fully invested in the market by buying the "bull" fund (QLD) when our signals are bullish, then switching to cash or the "bear" fund (QID) when indicators signal a bear market. Imagine the flexibility and the opportunities!
No Worries About The Bear
In spite of the record bull market of the previous decade many investors are worse off today than they were in 1995. In the ensuing bear market that started in March 2000 stock-market investors lost all of their profits and then some.
We then saw the markets started recovering in the spring of 2003 to enter yet another downtrend in late 2007.
But it's still not too late. Devoting a certain portion of your capital to index ETFs, especially using a proven stock timing system like the Swing Timing Alert, can give you the winning edge.
Furthermore, you have much lower risk than trading individual stocks. As you know, many individual stocks can go down 50% or more in one day at the opening, just because of an earnings disappointment. Such events are impossible to predict. You won't see that happen in a diversified index mutual fund.
The market we are in right now is an extremely volatile one. You have to be nimble and quick to make short-term profits in this type of market.
The long-term trends that existed for the past few years on the S&P500 and the Nasdaq have been breached. Now there isn't a prevailing long-term trend that you can count on.
The markets are getting crushed and many investors, no doubt, are feeling the pain, especially on what they considered to be "conservative investments..."
So how do you play this market? This trading environment requires swing trading. By making trades based on the short-term trends and playing the swings in the market.
By timing your swings correctly, you can lower the amount of money that you have at risk in a fickle market. By taking advantage of enhanced ETFs and the short-term swings up and down, you can make incredible gains.
For this is the type of trading, you need a new strategy used by the Swing Timing Alert service. It captures intermediate-term swings in the market and allows you to continue making money in both bull & bear markets.
You don't have to be a market expert, nor do you have to keep track of a multitude of stock positions, their openings, intraday action and closes.
With index ETFs it is so much simpler to invest and so much more rewarding. And, we give you exact information on the action to take - buy or sell.
Swing Timing Alert uses a unique strategy -- one that allows you to build a fortune even as the stock market crumbles. Sounds unbelievable, right? Well, it's not...
75% of affluent investors own alternative investments as reported recently in research conducted by The Phoenix Company. With the markets in a downtrend and a recession looming, isn't it time you learnt an alternate investment strategy?
This market is not going to settle down anytime soon, and it looks as if the market has entered into a bear market. We highly recommend you protect your assets against further market turmoil.
Knowing When To Sell
Clearly, the trick to BIG money is not only knowing when to buy but more importantly knowing when to sell. Swing Timing Alert strategy is to sell and preserve our profits close to the top… then shift into an inverse ETF that will continue making money as the market spirals downward.
It aims to catch the trends in the stock market indices, thereby profiting from up moves as well as market plunges. It's perfect for today's crazy market environment.
This type ETF trading can make you rich, while buy-and-hold-and-pray investing can bore you to death at best, or at worst, can put you in the poor house.
Now, using bull and bear ETFs, you can experience the thrill of successful trading without needing an expensive investment manager.
In a buy & hold investing strategy, most investors think they can ride through the valleys. But in today's unpredictable market, that can be painful, frustrating, and very, very dangerous.
Swing Timing Alert offers lots of sizzle… and turns the risk of a devastating bear market into a profit opportunity.
Now, with Swing Timing Alert's buy & sell signals, you can trade like a pro ... sell before the bear market ... and re-buy near the bottom for the next bull move up.
Or, even better, you can buy inverse ETFs near the top and smile all the way down, while buy & hold investors are crying their hearts out.
Amidst all of the turmoil in the market right now, you still hear the inevitable chorus of financial advisors telling everyone to just ride it out.
To this I say -- are you kidding me? But alas, they aren't kidding, and in my view, most advisors couldn't be more wrong.
The Associated Press ran a piece recently quoting financial advisers about what investors should be doing right now with their money. The question asked was: Should I be considering changes in my 401(k) in response to the rapidly changing financial services sector?
In what was a typical financial industry response, the prevailing sentiment was not to sell stocks off in a "knee-jerk fashion." Even more typical were the screeds to not try to time the market, because when the market starts to come back "... you're going to be out... "
Now, if you know me, you'll know that I advocate putting money into the market when the trend is in your favor -- i.e., when the market is heading higher -- and I recommend being out of stocks when the market is trending downward.
For the past fifteen months, I've been warning investors in my Swing Timing Alert advisory service to invest with the prevailing trend.
The last thing I would do is tell you to just sit there with your losses and let them accumulate in the hope that someday the market will come back and bring you back to where you once were.
I can't think of a more unthinking strategy, nor can I conjure up a bigger abdication of responsibility by a financial advisor than to tell you to keep playing your fiddle while Rome is burning.
If you want to find out how to protect yourself from the ravages of this bear market, then you must subscribe to Swing Timing Alert.
Your Three Keys to Success...
Now I'm not going to tell you that this is the "Holy Grail" of trading that can make you X amount of dollars with no losses. No one can predict the market with 100% accuracy.
The good news is that you can be highly successful without approaching anything close to a 100% winning percentage. It boils down to the following three keys to success:
- Win more than you lose. There is no secret here. This just comes down to due diligence and only entering trades with a high probability for success. This is where a proven strategy comes into play: a set of rules that are easy to understand and follow and which have been shown to decisively tip the odds in your favor. And you will get TWO of these time-tested and proven methods as a member of the Swing Timing Alert.
- Keep your winners bigger than your losers. You're going to win some. And you're going to lose some. The key is to practice disciplined risk management. If a trade goes against us, we get out. Period.
- Take partial profits. In most cases, it makes good sense to take some risk off the table when the trade is going in our favor. That's why Rick suggests a minimum of two contracts on every position, so you can take partial closeouts to lock in gains and protect your downside.
Let me show you how these three keys to success led to a very successful year in 2008, when most investors were losing their shirts.
84.60% Gains and a Proven Track Record of Success...

But because the losses were small and the winners were large... the total gain for the year was 84.60%... good enough to turn a $100,000 portfolio into $184,600 in the worst year for the markets since 1931!
That is a stellar return in any year, not to mention a year when the S&P was down nearly 50% at one point.
You have seen just how profitable this can be and you understand the amazing benefits that the e-mini futures can provide. Now, let me share with you what you will receive as a member of the Swing Timing Alert.

Listen to what Mr. Page from California has to say :
|
On the first half of my position I made close to 100% in one month! The second half of my position, which I sold yesterday as per the STA sell QID alert, I made approx. 49%. Thank you for the service. At first I was skeptical, and rightly so, there are many services that claim outrageous things but the opportunity for my 100% return in one month while every other investor is running scared... I'll take it! This recent bear market has been brutal, but in the last month I have made a tidy profit and I'm looking forward to whether the STA can continue it's impressive track record.

This service is strictly limited to 1500 subscribers. And because of its tremendous success we'll have to close it soon to new subscriptions. So please don't procrastinate any longer.
If you have seen other trading services and investing newsletters, you know that many cost $5,000 or more per year. But our aim is always to provide our readers with more for a lot less.
The Swing Timing Alert service usually requires a $199.97 per month investment.
BUT if you subscribe today, you don't have to pay the regular price either. For a limited time only, you can get a 30-day trial subscription for just $4.97 and then $99.97/month thereafter.
That's 50% OFF the regular price after the 30-day trial. But you must subscribe today to take advantage of this special savings offer.
At first blush the $99.97/month investment may seem high, but Swing Timing Alert is a premium service that pays for itself many times over as shown by the returns it can generate.
Consider this... if you have a $75,000 portfolio and our advice makes you 40% return, that's $30,000 profit. Would you pay $99.97/month to make $30,000, perhaps more? Our timing and ETF picks are making our subscribers a lot money. Make sure you are one of them.
