Risk-aware futures traders would not consider trading without using timing selection techniques. However, many knowledgeable investors in the stock market oppose or ignore timing selection, whether for individual stocks or the broader market. This may be mainly because they do not understand timing selection or do not know how to apply it. This book is a book that brings timing selection techniques used for generations in futures markets worldwide to the stock market. It is groundbreaking, relying on proven strategies that have been profitable in all North American financial futures markets, including stock index futures. It shows how to gradually identify the best stocks and buy them at the best time; when to let profits continue to grow (without withdrawing all gains from the stock market) and when to cut losses; how to use long-term timing selection to avoid experiencing bear market bottoms; how to short sell stocks in a bear market; and so on. After reading this book, you will gain insights into how to hold stocks or mutual funds and profit from stock cycles and long-term trends. Whether you use these techniques to buy high-tech stocks or blue-chip stocks, you will effectively manage your investments.
