Why Monday Morning Review

Everyone should subscribe to the Monday Morning Review.

Here's Why:

We Provide Foundational Investment Information for ALL Investors, and We're Designed to Beat Wall Street!

Whether you have no interest in stocks and bonds, are a professional trader, or have retired from the rat race and invest in CD's, we are all investors, and as investors we need to know what the overall direction of the major indexes are.  Even if you have an investment advisor (maybe ESPECIALLY so!) it's vital to know what the "Big Trend" is.  This overall direction, or trend, has a big influence on everyone's investments, even those of us that don't want to think about our IRA's, 401(k)'s, 403(b)'s, etc., we will be much better off if we know, generally, which way stocks and bonds are going when it's time to look at our account statement and make possible changes.  Knowing the markets general direction or trend, will bring you a huge amount of comfort and peace of mind.  For example, if the major trend for stocks is down, you may want to switch your investments more toward bonds.  Alternatively, if the major trend for stocks is up, you could allocate more investments toward stocks, and less towards bonds.  Call it "market timing" or asset allocation based on market conditions, it's what Wall Street does every day.  We don't provide "stock tips", investment strategies, or the latest rumors; just market trend signals and some brief commentary as to some of the latest market rumblings.

Wall Street doesn't want you to use market timing or asset re-allocation since it makes them work harder for your investment dollars (Sorry, Wall Street!)  So, who needs the Monday Morning Review?  Let's take a look:

1)  The "Non-Investors"

Let's say your twenty-something or thirty-something and just haven't really thought about investments (something your Dad or Uncle does), but sooner or later, you'll be at a party, bar, class, or fishing/hunting and the subject's going to come up: What are you investing in for your retirement, cause you know social security's not going to be there for you  That's when it hits you that, oh man, I got to get going on this investment stuff!  But, I don't know anything!  Or, perhaps you've dabbled in mutual funds, read some investment magazines and learned nothing, and your little bit of investment money seems to just lose money.  Relax.  Your first step is to get up to speed (free) by combing the internet and learning from the thousands of free self-help websites that make investing a lot easier.  Then, you're going to need to know what the "BIG PICTURE" for stocks and bonds is, i.e. which way they are going up, sideways, or down.  Once you know that, it makes the whole "investing thing" a lot easier (and you'll know more than some of your friends the next time the subject comes up!)

2)  The Investors Trying to Make Money

So, when you can walk into your investment advisors office knowing the general direction of the market, he'll be impressed with your knowledge, and he may be more likely to make sure you're in the right investments, at the right time.  If he isn't, then you'll know it.  That's the power of the Monday Morning Review.

3)  The Professional Traders

What if you're a professional investor/trader?  Then you know how important it is to let the trend be your friend and not try to beat the tape.  No matter what your strategy is, be it FOREX futures, options, day-trading, swing trading, etc.  you need to know the general climate or have a weekly weather report for the market.  You know this is vital, and this is the power of the Monday Morning Review.

4)  The Ones Who've Earned Freedom Retirement!

Now, let's consider that you've managed to save a few bucks fighting through the work world, or as is the case for many, you've lost a lot in the Year 2000 and maybe even lost even more in the recent stock market crash, and now you absolutely have to be as careful as possible with your money now that you've retired.  How will you know when it might be time to consider stocks to boost your investment returns?  What's the outlook for bonds?  And, more importantly, what's the outlook for interest rates?  We also take a look each week at the big trends for short-, medium-, and long-term interest rates for those that buy certificates of deposit and other interest rate sensitive investment products.

Great!  But, How Well Does the Monday Morning Review Work?

The short answer is really well!  In fact, in conjunction with an investment professional and PhD., we've developed our own proprietary, mathematically-based system called the Advanced MACD, which is designed to BEAT the Wall Street mantra of Buy and Hold.  We also provide what's considered the industry standard MACD signals for a comparison, which is helpful when deciding the trend for the markets.  But, we're excited for you to take a look at our numbers by going to the OUR TRACK RECORD tab on our website!  Also, to actually see the MACD chart, what it looks like, and how we come up with our signals, be sure to check out the HOW IT WORKS tab, again found at the top of our website.  Upon seeing this information, you'll wonder why nobody (especially Wall Street) told you about this before!  But, now you know!

Check out the rest of our site, how our FREE (and extra Advanced MACD) timing services work, and few other surprises you usually don't get on a typical Monday morning!  Thanks for your time!

* Explanations and Disclaimers: The timing results and Returns on Capital are for demonstration purposes only and are not meant to imply future results or returns. The performance figures in the tables shown on our website are taken from our proprietary Advanced MACD systems, based on a hypothetical portfolio. and are not representative of, nor meant to imply, that your investment results are, or could be similar to our Advanced MACD systems, since these systems are designed to provide general market direction.  We do not provide any return on capital or other results data on the standard MACD, since this is a widely available technical charting methodology available on the internet and other investment sources, and is shown here merely for comparison purposes. A standardized MACD system will help identify market tops and bottoms, but is not designed to out-perform the Advanced MACD systems utilized here.  The investor examples above, are for illustration and entertainment purposes, using hypothetical situations. No offer or solicitation to buy or sell securities or securities derivative products of any kind, or any type of trading or investment advice, recommendation or strategy, is made, given or in any manner endorsed by MMR Publishing, LLC, or any of its publications. Past performance, whether actual or indicated by historical tests of strategies, is no guarantee of future performance or success. No system has a crystal ball, but successful investors constantly seek new and helpful information to assist in their quest for better performance. There are inherent limitations that investors should understand. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual investment performance or trading. Because the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or overcompensated for the impact of certain market factors, such as the effect of limited trading liquidity. No representation is being made that any investor will or is likely to achieve results similar to those shown. The results presented reflect past performance and should not and cannot be viewed as an indicator of future performance.
