Dear Ken,

A few years ago I read the book, subscribed to the paper, and flew to Denver to attend one of his seminars.  While I am convinced that the approach would work, I did not have the time to screen the stocks, or develop the expertise to use it effectively, and after a while, gave up.  I recently became interested again, and your service would seem to be just the kind of thing I would need.  However, I have a question.  It was my understanding that one of the main tenets of the approach is that you put your money on the sidelines in Bear markets.  How is your internet service able to continue to make recommendations during these downturns if that is so?  I just wanted to try to understand this before subscribing.
Thanks,

J. Davis 

Dear Robert,

Thanks for the feedback concerning the service. I would like to hear more about how you have been doing, since you are familiar with the investment system through your exposure years ago. If you have a "hands on" approach to your investments with limited time, we can help you.  The reports we publish are akin to the Cliff's Notes, as we condense the daily market action and narrow the wide spectrum of candidates down to the most actionable few while also calling attention to key criteria and pinpointing buy and sell signals.
 
To your point about downward trending markets and how we can be of help to you, our daily commentary discusses the M criteria to keep members who read it aware. We make BOLD announcements concerning key changes in overall direction per the fact-based analysis which is our specialty.  When we highlight specific candidates in a favorable light, but an unfavorable market, we make reminders to all in the notes that even when they are considering the most favorable stocks - "The M criteria overrides all other promising criteria, since 3 out of 4 stocks follow the direction of the major averages."
 
Recommendations is a dirty word around here. The site is not an advisory firm and we do not know enough about our visitors' risk tolerance to make any buy or sell recommendations. We discuss technical buy signals and sell signals, however it is up to you to evaluate and decide on your own what course of action suits you best. We suggest following the rules as discussed in the book "How To Make Money In Stocks". Our aim is to make the day-to-day job of following the system easier by reducing your workload. If you review the sample reports we gladly make accessible you will see exactly what we provide, and you can note the disclaimers.
