The Investment World Is Changing

The Investment World Is Changing - Are You?

In our first issue of the TREND letter in March of 2002, we stated that we about to embark on a "monumental shift of wealth, from the West to the East." We talked then about the emerging power of China, India and Russia.

To be successful in this current investment world, it is no longer simply a matter of buying some mutal funds and hoping it all works out. We are in a global investment world and those who understand that new world will be successful; while those that do not - will not.

Our formula is really quite simple, we maximize our profits and minimize our losses. We identify new bull markets and invest in them early. We always set a Sell Stop when we buy a stock. As the stock moves up, we will sell a portion on temporary tops to reduce our exposure. As the stock moves up, we may raise our sell stop. During a correction or pull back we will often add to our position that are still in long term uptrends. We simply ride the bull market to the top. When we see the mass media and the mass investors take notice of our new bull market, we start to prepare to get out of that sector. Our goal is to get in with in 20% of the bottom and out within 20% of the top.

Having an investment strategy is crucial to you being a successful investor. It should not be acceptable for stock market investors to just survive in the world of investment - yet for so many, survival is as good as it gets. The TREND letter (TTL) has been created as a key weapon in your investment arsenal to not just survive, but to truly prosper in this often confusing world of wins and loses, up and down trends, bull and bear markets.

The performance of our open positions since we started publishing the TREND letter is in the column on the right. We include results for the Dow Industrials, Nasdaq and S&P 500 for your reference. To view the performance of our closed trades click here.

We present the TREND letter as a supplement to your present stock market investment strategy. Use it as a benchmark of stock market factors that will save you time and give you some excellent perspective as to where the market is going. And where the stock market is going is where the profits for the investor reside. All too often investors are celebrating past victories or mourning past losses - yet it is what happens tomorrow and beyond that the successful investor is paying attention to. The successful investor is not the one who follows the herd, he leads it. "When the herd is heading one way, the smart investor is looking for another way."

Take control of your investment future and make it a successful one. Never lose track of the fact that you are investing your money, so ensure that you have the tools required to make good decisions when investing your money. The TREND letter is one of the tools that you need. Use it as it is designed, as a reference of information that you simply do not have the time nor the knowledge to research.

With each edition of the TREND letter & Flash Report, we will tell you what we see happening in the markets; what our investment strategy is; what stocks we are buying and selling; and we tell you why we are doing what we are doign. Your responsibility is to read the information, understand the information, then make the decision that best suits your investment philosophy.

You will not make money on every investment that you make, but if you use The TREND letter, your chances of being very successful increase dramatically.
