A: As a subscriber, you will receive a new link to the Market Reversal Newsletter at the beginning of each month. It is important to access using this link as it contains your user id (email address) and User Access Code. The link remains valid for the entire month.

Q: How are Market Reversal Signals generated?

A: When our Trend Strength and Momentum indicators both change direction, it is a stong indication that the market has reversed. When one changes direction and not the other, it shows that the conditions are right for a reversal, but we generally wait for both to change direction before making a move.

Q: What is the difference between Trend Strength and Momentum?

A: The Trend Strength indicator shows the annualized rate of return of the long term trend, assuming that it continues. If this number isn't big enough, the harder it is to justify putting capital at risk. Our Momentum Indicator endeavors to estimate how likely the current trend is to continue. So if we have high Trend Strength but fading Momentum, we are on alert for the trend to soften, retrace or reverse.

Q: Why wouldn't I short the market when it is going down??

A: You can, but shorting has unique risks. In the last decade this has been a profitable strategy given the size of the downturns. However, consider that if the market loses 50% of its value, you could make 50%, but then you can make 100% if you buy at the bottom if the market then returns to its prior levels. In addition to this compression effect on returns, down markets are times of extreme uncertainty, high volatility and risk. For most investors, it is better to be on the sidelines.

Q: What's the difference between Ultra and Standard portfolios?

A: The Standard Porfolio trades the SPY, which tracks the S&P 500, but endeavors to get us out of the market during market downturns. The Ultra Portfolio also endeaveors to get us out of the market during market downturns, but trades the SSO, which targets twice the gains (and losses) of the S&P 500. So it has the opportunity for larger gains, but also has twice the risk. Because of this risk, it is EXTREMELY important to get out when the market heads south.

Q: What is "retracement activity"?

A: Within a long term trend, the market will often exibit some shorter term counter-trend movement. Often, the longer term trend will resume after this shorter term retracement activity is completed. For example, in a two-year bull market, it is not uncommon to encounter a couple of retracements that last for 1-2 months each. The key to investing in longer term trends is to be able to distinguish between a short term retracement and a major market reversal. At the far right edge of the chart, this is often difficult for most investors to do.

A: Yes, absolutely. You can cancel at any time. You should consider that this is a long term approach to investing, and if you cancel you could miss the opportunity to avoid a downturn or capitalize on the next big move.

Q: How do I renew my subscription?

A: Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. There is nothing that you need to do.
