It has never been easier to find shrill opinion, doomsday predictions and kitsch on demand, especially online. Countless blogs, newspapers, magazines, newsletters, journals, radio and television stations spew financial information and unqualified investment advice 24/7 like the proverbial fire hose, yet somehow, drinking from it has never been more challenging.

Conventional news sources tend to look backward, reporting what has happened, or more commonly, what they think has happened. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by this assault on the senses. At times, it can be nearly impossible to distinguish between what’s relevant and true and what is crafty smoke and mirrors.

But there is good news. As a seasoned market observer, veteran trader and portfolio strategist, I cut through the clutter, look ahead and anticipate what’s next — what’s really important to you and your money:

April 6, 2009: Hedge ratios for inverse ETFs that correspond to the long ETFs found in our U.S. Core and Satellite model portfolios are now published daily.

March 16, 2009: . . . we will deploy all cash on a DAILY CLOSE ABOVE $SPX 780.12, the high from the week of February 27, 2009 on the S&P 500 Index. As discussed in the podcast, there are other ways to “leg back in”.

March 10, 2009: My impression was that market participants were still hopeful when the lower low formed in November 2008 and when it was taken out followed by the big panic gap down on March 2, 2009, the stage was set for surrender. Last week’s price action was replete with stories filled with the fear that no bottom could be found above zero.

March 6, 2009: When the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 6,626.94, we remarked, “One of the kisses of death on the upside are analysts projecting ever higher highs after a huge move up. Remember $250 QCOM? $250 oil? The same thing happens near significant, tradeable bottoms and what did we see today? Big percentage downward projections. Louise Yamada was on Bloomberg, CNBC, New York Times, Barron’s, Forbes, MSN Money, etc. She was everywhere. The skinny lady belting out downside targets has to be a big sign.

February 5, 2009: … there is a good possibility that we are only at Point B (and the Discouragement phase is still ahead of us) because just look at the news flow and how the market reacts — the good bank/bad bank last week, the “relax mark-to-market” thing today, the stimulus bill tomorrow — everyone is still holding onto hope. . . . Let’s put it this way: They feel like it’s Point E, but I am not so sure; it might be closer to Point B.

November 20, 2008: When ISRG was trading at $145.00, we observed, “We can also see that investors are going through Overt Warning to Panic phase of The Investor Sentiment Cycle” and said, “We see that the analyst is giving bullish fundamental reasons while the price action is telling us something else. Let’s see what happens next with ISRG. Will the ‘$100 Handle’ hold?”

September 24, 2008: When the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 10,825.17, we sent an urgent email to premium members, saying, “Please accept my apologies for intruding on your evening. . . . While I strongly advocate holding the course for long term investments, there may be times — like right now — where it may be more prudent to take a defensive stance by standing aside. . . . I believe there is a real possibility that nothing is done, meaning that the market might go nuclear. . . . This is as close to a replay of August 1720, Paris as we want to get. . . . we can only guess where a bottom will be found.

July 9, 2008: When premium member Dan asked, “Any thoughts as to whether coal and steel are dead for the time being?” We said, “Investors are asking themselves this question everyday. The coal and steel industries have been *the* hot spots where aggressive investors and traders have been blindly piling in.”

May 18, 2008: When oil was at $130/barrel, we pointed out the insanity of Kurt Wulff, analyst at McDep LLC, who considered the pullback a buying opportunity, likening an investment in Exxon to that of a Treasury security — or even safer than that. “We had thought that inflation-linked government securities were the safest investments to anchor a diversified portfolio, but lagging inflation adjustment and high taxation are driving us to believe that a proportionately large investment in the world’s leading corporation is ’safer,’ ” he wrote in commentary today.

January 7, 2008: When DRYS was at $68.00, we warned, “even though the “why” for the price drops cannot be found in the fundamentals and the outlook, investors should not ignore price breaks as these may be Subtle or Overt Warnings that the sentiment cycle has entered the Disbelief phase.”

December 27, 2007: When MOO was at $57.00, we remarked on the flood of money going into agricultural sector investment, “With positive press and a flood of offerings, it seems to me — from a sentiment cycle perspective — that the market for these investments must be closer to the “returning confidence” phase than than “wall of worry” phase.

November 7, 2007: When WM was at $20.50, we warned, “Bernard Baruch once said, “I got rich by taking profits too early.” Yet for generations, traders and investors have ignored his advice, preferring to buy late in the game on the way up or court danger (”maoxian” in Mandarin) by rushing into value traps early in a decline.

September 7, 2007: I’m sort of worried that there are a bunch of banks that are actually insolvent as we speak. And people don’t seem to be cluing in that Ben is in fact dropping cash from the discount window helicopter.

August 31, 2007: I think the market doesn’t like what they’re hearing. Bernanke is saying, “You’re @*$#&!, and we’re bailing as fast as we can to keep the banks solvent.”

August 30, 2007: I mean, for all we know, a ton of these big brokerage houses are standing there, completely insolvent right now.

August 20, 2007: I think there are big time problems behind the scenes. We don’t even know if many of these firms are even solvent.

Since 1998, I have helped thousands of traders and investors make money and manage risk in today’s capital markets. You can rely on me for an honest appraisal and dispassionate judgment. I call a spade a spade, uncolored by partisanship, bias or wishful thinking. My glass is never half-empty or half-full; to me, it’s just a half-glass.

Regular Features

First, I survey a broad array of sources, ascertain the facts and weigh expert views. My reports to you in Sentiment Watch are thoughtfully considered to ensure that you receive clear and useful information. You may not agree with me all the time, but you will always know exactly why I hold a certain opinion.

Second, in Trading Ideas, I review stocks that have been very popular with investors and traders alike because while small losses are simply a cost of rational speculation, colossal blunders — usually made by believing that it’s different this time — must be avoided. Also included is an online workbook that ranks The Hot 100 along with winners and losers from our stock scan, 300+ ETFs, all S&P 100 Index stocks, all NASDAQ 100 Index stocks and 60 optionable indexes.

Third, hedge ratios for ETFs found in our model investment portfolios are calculated daily to help you manage downside risk. Market barometers, volatility and correlation studies are provided free as a public service.

Fourth, as a member, you’re invited to participate in discussion by posting questions or comments. Feel free to ask about anything you read and I will do my best to get right back to you or provide a longer explanation in a Member Q&A.

Weekly Features

Each week features a strategy webinar (podcast for those unable to attend) that surveys global markets, currencies, asset classes and U.S. sector rotation. It’s informative, sometimes funny, and always diabolical.

Each Friday, members are notified by email as to the preliminary calculation of the weightings for ETFs found in the Strategic Satellite portfolio.

Monthly Features

Members are notified by email the night before the last trading day of the month as to the preliminary calculation of the weightings for ETFs found in the Core portfolios.

Trading Tools

Members that trade with daily charts have the option of subscribing to proprietary analytics for eSignal OR TradeStation. TradeStation enthusiasts may be interested in the BYOBB Trader Club.

I have been a fan and an admirer of your work for many years and, in fact our SmartStops exit logic contains an idea or two I learned from you. . . I do not view us as competitors but rather think of us as allies in a battle against ignorance and the unacceptable risks of buy and hold. I find your Invivo Stops to be both effective and intelligently designed.
