THEY WILL DISAPPEAR
THEY ALWAYS DO
Do you know what the permabulls with those social media accounts and podcasts who constantly edit, refresh, and publish the same articles about the advantages of buying and holding, or even dollar-cost averaging, will do when the next bear market arrives? They will disappear for a while!
This is what they always do, and when they are convinced they have found a bottom, they reappear, bragging about their long-term record and the benefits of averaging down while pointing to some graphs. The audience will mostly consist of “new investors,” because most of the older ones had already exited when the panic hit.
Most investors exit the market after a bubble bursts with significant losses. Only those with limited market experience think they can identify tops and bottoms. What we can do is use strategies and indicators that have the potential to limit losses.

Market timing has the potential to reduce losses due to a market top. With that in mind, we have developed a dual approach to market timing: hybrid asset allocation.
Hybrid asset allocation (HAA) employs two strategies: asset cross-sectional momentum and strategic allocation. Both strategies use ETFs to generate signals in the monthly timeframe.
On top of that, we have also developed a dynamic momentum strategy (DYNMOM). This is a proprietary timing algorithm that trades the SPY ETF. Its objective is to maximize the Sharpe ratio and avoid market corrections.
With a monthly subscription, both HAA and DYNMOM signals are available. After the last trading day of each month, subscribers receive an email notification and can log in and view the updates, including whether there are new entry or exit signals.
We provide precise entry and exit signals every month. Click here for more details.

We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, fitness, or timeliness of the signals for any particular purpose. Under no circumstances should the signals be treated as financial advice.

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated performance results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Hypothetical trading results are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
