Who Else Knows that Long Term Market Timing Can Win You 31% in 15 Months?
Submitted by Van Beek on December 21, 2010 - 17:33A simple long-term market timing system would have saved me a lot of money when I invested a large part of my savings into different mutual funds during March 2000. Two months later in May, such a system would have given me clear indicators to sell my investments at that moment. I would have saved 40% of my savings.
Now I know better and since you are reading this, you can know now better as well. In this blog post I want to show you that it is not just me who says that long-term market timing can gain and save you a lot of money. Below you see a good 8-minute video (not from me) that explains very clearly the concept of long term marketing and how it works.

What Returns on Your Investment Can You Expect with Trend Investing?
Trend Investing outperforms in general over the longer term a Buy and Hold Strategy of Index Funds, Mutual Funds and the Stock Market index itself.
When we say here "longer term", you have to think in terms of years, not days, weeks or months.

To Prosper…What Asset Do You Want to Avoid Like Hell during High Inflation
Submitted by Van Beek on December 6, 2010 - 17:08
During higher inflation, cash is no longer king. In what will you invest?
Assume 5 years of 5% inflation and 4% interest. The $10,000 in your savings account has grown to $12,167. Nice! But there is a problem. With this $12,167 you can buy only as much as you could buy 5 years earlier with $9,414. You have not become $2,167 richer. You have become $586 poorer.
Inflation is like a tax. It takes away every year a part of your savings and wealth.

December 2010
The US indices closed November just slightly below October closing. Note that on December 1st, the indices were again above the November closing. We are keeping our investments in the US market from the time of the Buy signal of end 2009 because we have not seen a Sell signal since.
The German DAX is the exemption in Europe. It gives another positive initial trend indication this month. However, the other European indices have not shown a Buy signal yet since their last Sell signal after August. The DAX has also moved quite above the six-month moving average.

S&P 500 Trend Investing Easily Beats Buy & Hold: $49,438 vs. $28,262
Submitted by Van Beek on December 1, 2010 - 16:45
S&P 500 Trend Investing easily beats a Buy and Hold approach.
Suppose you invested $10,000 in an S&P 500 index fund in October 1992. You just kept the fund; you just Buy and Hold. 18 Years later, your ten thousand dollars would have become $28,262. Nice, but with only 6 trades in 18 years of this same index fund you could have done much better.
Stock Trend Investing reviews every month for you the trend in the S&P 500 and a number of other US indices like the Dow Jones, the NYSE and the NASDAQ. Based on this analysis, we provide the Trend Investing community monthly with our conclusion on if we buy, hold or sell our US index funds.
