Get Familiar with Newsletter and Hotline Schedule

On Sundays subscribers receive an email link to our newsletter. Each issue briefly discusses what moved the market over the past week and provides succinct US stock market analysis, market index charts, market data, model portfolio recommendations, buy/sell status of seventeen different timing models, timing model charts, and a list of top monitored funds in all the categories that correspond with our timing models - including special coverage for ProFunds, Rydex, Direxion, Fidelity, Vanguard, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and Thift Savings Plan (TSP) funds.

Hotlines announcing timing model or model portfolio changes are emailed to subscribers on an as-needed basis, Monday through Thursday, by 11 pm Eastern time. We send out a "second notice" hotline the following morning, just in case you missed the original email.

Begin Investing

If you're following one or more of our timing models, establish a set sum of money you'll invest per model, and get fully-invested (100%) when we issue a buy signal. Scan the top monitored funds lists in our most recent newsletter and purchase the fund highest in relative strength for the corresponding timing model (for example, Latin American funds correspond to our Latin American Funds Timing Model.) If you missed our original buy signal, average new money into mutual funds over a period of several months. Simply divide the capital into three or four equal increments and invest one portion each month until the amount is fully invested. This approach will decrease the likelihood of investing all of the money right at a significant top prior to a sell signal.

The same advice holds for our ETF, ProFunds, Rydex and Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Portfolios except we tell you exactly which funds to buy.

It's that easy!

NOTE: Buy and sell recommendations in our Momentum Portfolios are executed at the next available price. ProFunds funds are priced at the market's close at 4 pm. Rydex funds vary, some are priced twice at day - once at 10:45 am and again at 4 pm. ETF trades will always occur at the market's open, at 9:30 am. Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) fund trades must be placed before noon to receive the 4 pm closing price. All times are Eastern.
