THE ONLY MISTAKE 'INVESTORS' MADE WAS TO TRUST: They were willing to assume risk, just not prepared to be defrauded by brokerage. We appreciate this website is dense with information but every prediction has in the fullness of time come to fruition. We'd rather be wrong with our theory and correct with timed trading. The accuracy of both is not unique since Feb '09 low though2/26/11 our return on investment capital was 156%
Our sole aim is geared to individual investors for their 'PORTFOLIO RESUSCITATION’, to quell their fears by evaluation and assessing current asset holdings; we will seek best ‘breakeven costs’ to extricate then as they the client excites the orders. Often this can be accomplished with no new anted money. Our proven results are derived by rejecting the predictable (herd mentality) approach in favor of our ‘contrarian’ forward-seeing analysis. TV Gurus and brokers, who call bottoms as a 'buying opportunity', never see tops to take profits so those bottoms could be bought. They are commission motivated having no clue when a recession acts likes a depression. While companies have lost credibility Investors have lost trust, confidence, and their wealth - which we are sure from our joint effort we can bring a close to the on-going nightmare.
Given how easily identifiable the Bernie Madoff/Ponzi scheme was ... its now a metaphor for a corrupt-deceitful industry. One must ask a simple question. What is the real mission of the SEC supposedly mandated to protect investors, to maintain fair, orderly, efficient markets and facilitate capital formation. More importantly from the ascent of money a simple 'CD' had higher returns over the last decade. Governments cannot be investors of last resort. Converging forces have put economies on the brink of a depression, and the bloodbath has obliterated $32 trillion in global (investor) wealth that evaporated over one year. WALL STREET'S GREATEST CRIME - the Blatant Ignorance of Market History.
As MASTER TECHNICIAN, not only did we acted properly during the yesterdays, we are already positioned for the tomorrows. We are the ANTIDOTE to misinformation. The lack of growth in most portfolios is from an inability to obtain unbiased financial counsel. Our invitation to end the anguish is important -- working with the stocks YOU own. Certain we can return confidence and effect change in your holdings, thereafter, YOU execute orders at your broker of choice. Among these pages, we confirm markets can be timed. (See) 2009 LONG PORTFOLIO
Knowing in advance if rallies need to be sold into or breaks need to be bought, being proactive not reactive is the proper trading technique for order placements where entry is nearest exit. This aids breakeven levels. Our orders are written in advance and in stone (time/date stamped) while others swing from I think to I thought. We illustrate in advance the next action.. (See) WEEKLY CHART.
Dollar cost averaging is a false strategy; at times, a proper hedge is not buying every dip. Sometimes the correct approach is just holding cash and waiting for exact prices to come to you; or owning stocks ‘that pay you to hold them' -- not the other way. To view the ferocity of this year's bear market, exceeding 1937, where a 40% drop in the market takes almost a 70% advance to recover (See) CONTACT US
The falsity of being ‘diversified’ puts investors in double jeopardy. Hidden agendas prove their incompatibility in that for you to win, the firms must lose. Exaggerations about buy-backs or institutionally held stocks have deceived hopeful investors. Lastly, resulting from failure to adhere to fiduciary responsibilities, the only BULL MARKET is Fraud/ Class Action Suits due to 'contaminated' research as investor confidence and trust is destroyed.
IT'S FINALLY TIME TO INVEST IN THE INVESTOR AND LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD
With your input and our assistance -- together - we can alter the ... Slope of Hope
BLISSFUL IGNORANCE: It's astonishing during these volatile times that mongering bulls continue to ignore elevated risk and the public fails to realize it's always about the MARKETING OF THE MARKET done at YOUR expense. It remains your hard-earned money frozen in stocks that were supposed to lead but only led lower, taking down your portfolios, wealth, and dreams with them. All that we have written and made public over the last 8 years is being played out in live time - including dire warnings to an intransigent US Congress.
DOGMA HAS ENDED: The chaos rampant in today's markets proves there is no reliable source to ascertain true value of one's own holdings. Best proof is found when the ratings agencies’ cannot accurately evaluate their own earnings. Major brokerages are imploding upon themselves from their own negligence in managing risk. Logically, if they cannot do for themselves, they cannot do for clients and if greed to deceive clients was not their main motivation, (treating clients like cash cows rather than sacred customers), then Wall Street would not have been obliterated in a matter of weeks.
QUERY: If money supposedly doubles every 10 years - then why have investors (following the advice of market gurus holding those 'must own' recommendations) only netted an annualized returned of 3.4% from the top of 2000? Proof is set out throughout this website that the misinformation machine of Wall Street media, raft of economists, and governments are all working overtime to convince the public all is well. Yet this bear market is worse than the 1937 period. (SEE) CONTACT US.
WALL OF SCAM ARTISTS: This is why we say: With friends like commission driven stock mongers, who needs enemies? The premise of those who say “every dip is your next buying opportunity” begs the question why wasn't every rally also your 'opportunity' to take profits? This is why we dedicated this site to RETAIL INVESTORS whose trust, confidence, and wealth have been destroyed. Viewers/investors of the idiot box assured their research is sound believing CNBC is the Holy Grail.
** (Bloomberg) 08/22/08 - Analysts' Accuracy Forecasting Worst in 16 Years** (Reuters) 10/21/08 - In a season of chilling numbers American households lost over $8 trillion of wealth last year ** (Bloomberg) Jan. 13 - Hedge Funds Lost $350 Billion Last Year, Most on Record ** A Chimpanzee clobbers investment funds with performance - http://www.investmentpostcards.comWe said those VENERABLE FIRMS were VULNERABLE, and behind every big financial headline is a crime. With government's deliberate failures to embrace reality and act early, we have moved from the GRANDEST LARCENY to a RANSOM demand/citizen bailout. Wall Street, as it operated for the past 75 years, was obliterated in a matter of weeks; that we are witnessing this violent death in broad daylight has traumatized investors everywhere.
This site was created and launched two days before the July 2007 top, which we forecasted in our January 2007 prediction. Only 7 of Dow 30 participated at 14K, thus a non-confirmation stealth bear market commenced as the majority of stocks investors “had to buy” into 2000 top were valued at less than 1/2 of their all time highs. Only now, thousands of points lower and with the benefit of hindsight, do those look-back experts believe Goldilocks fairy tale ended in October '07. Too much is made about lower interest rates, oil, or even a stronger Dollar as other unexpected scenarios are now starting to unfold.
All the dominos have tipped over, as the blind leading the blind toppled just about everything in sight: U.S. stocks large and small, the financial industry and outside of it, foreign stocks, oil and other commodities, real-estate investment trusts, and formerly booming emerging markets like India and China. Even gold has lost 10% from its highs earlier this year. Not even cash seems entirely safe as money-market funds barely averted a "run on the bank."
The worst case scenario is underway. Stemming from market turbulence, there is a lot of bloodletting as shareholders are forced to react to never-ending devaluations despite claims about the safety of investing for the “long term".Other fabrications such as markets climbing a "wall of worry" come from those 'Pied Pipers of Destruction.’ The so-called TV experts, reckless lapdog media, exhort some counter-rally action after-the-fact, when it is too late to react, hyping some percentage nonsense.
CNBC's audience is down some 61%. It remains an ironic source of humor as Cramer, Kudlow, "Mad- Fast Money Gang" all pounding the table, acting like cheerleaders at a pep rally, telling the crowd to buy - buy - buy stocks all the way down. People forget Japan had one of the largest asset bubbles ever witnessed, with the Nikkei off by 66% from a peak in 1989. This is a foreboding model to the fragility to our financial entire system that can seize-up. (*See just how long term chart below)
DEMAND DESTRUCTION: The campaign behind this financial website is geared for retail investors to receive our counsel in their portfolio restoration/resuscitation.Through our dedicated research, in a union, you make your own trade wherever you wish. The individual investor is blameless; they 'slaved to save' and trusted an industry that traffics in deception and tainted research. You will notice there is no advertising posted, we are beholden to no one. (SEE) MYTH Page
From a weekly chart presentation (excerpted) *1/25/08 - Pre - GOLD KNEW INSTANTLY -Bubbles can't be defused through incremental adjustments in interest rates. Secular bear market tend to run for 17 years in duration, taking stocks from hyper-overvalued levels back down to deeply undervalued levels. It only took gold 30 years to reach new highs...that real long term.
Despite fines paid for corrupted research from Dot.Com era , this time the "leading stocks" leading lower are the financial's as banks-brokerages are collapsing. The FDIC's own 'watch list’ jumped from 70 to 11, also revealing insured banks/savings institutions' earnings were down from $36.8 billion a year earlier, an 86% haircut institutions cannot afford. The corollary of shutdowns will overwhelm FDIC's ability to insure deposits. At last count, the Credit Crisis is $500 Billion and counting.
We repeat: Following the biggest moves is when most traders lose the most amount of money. This is because they have both frustrations and visions of grandeur. Annoyed that they missed the easier trade, they attempt to make more out of less by pressing trades when they're not there or taking too large a position to try to make up ground.
The typical response by media will be to rejoice on up days and from their misguided ways; but their money is parked in CD, and they lack insight and appreciation of unforeseen forces while shareholder wealth is destroyed. Media always claim that, in the long term, things work out. Well, many an iconic company is now trading at 20-year lows. In short, this is as good as it gets for the next many years. THEORY OF DIMINISHING RETURNS - (See) CONTACT PAGE
A decision made by us is to provide the same diligent research, techniques, and counsel we do for our professional subscriber broker-base. For the first time, we extend the same invitation to you, the retail investor, whose monies and trust were placed in the cesspool of capital market greed in pursuit of The American Dream morphed into the never ending nightmare.
Witness the massive confusion and puzzled chatter underway from so-called experts who cannot comprehend nor agree to current status of today's markets. Blame is attached first to the FED for doing too much or not enough. Then, arguing for a rate cut might be inflationary or deflationary. A question must be asked: How can these gurus formulate sector opinions WITHOUT understanding the current economic implications?
We propose a union, a co-partnership, to review your stocks and other financial instruments [bonds, futures, mutual funds] already owned by you. This way, you can ignore hollow talk from your broker about the next opportunity. The implicit promise at the core of the American Experience has been to work hard, play by the rules, and tomorrow will be better than today. Yet this financial nightmare never ends.
We will make proposals in advance where proper add-ons can be done to lower your core breakeven prices, or when to take profits and where protections should be placed. Our method is to create income for YOU, not your broker. Their employed choice, i.e., after-the-fact pretext, is always to ‘buy and hold’ for the long term. This is why portfolios have been languishing for eight years. The misadvise of your broker to buy that next dip is why your cost increases and your hope decreases.
Conversely, our YIELD Portfolio is comprised of growth & income stocks that pay you to hold them, not the other way around generating nearly 30% YOY non-compounded basis, something industry experts say cannot be done. Unlike gurus that start sentences one day with "I think" followed weeks later with "I thought," (never an apology) ... we never equivocate. You will not see any advertisements associated to this site, we owe no one anything other than dedicated service to our clients.
More damaging than the 1929 Crash, the Crash of 2000 continuing into the 2002 lows resulted in $7 trillion in losses from the "free advice" offered on TV. Consequently, you also must accept ...those same "experts" who never saw the 2000 top are the same "so-called mavens" who will never see the real bottom. ...Blind leading the blind*
Now into the 9th year from 2000 highs, the Bear market lives on where only indexes have been manipulated higher while stocks lag as most investors are now left to their own devices. Then you are faced with the questions ... "How long is LONG TERM" and "Will I ever get my initial investment back?"
MORONS ON PARADE OR YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR: We’ve always said ... "FREE TV’ advice is very costly that comes from quasi-business shows with hidden agendas. Among so many self-proclaimed mavens is our favorite comedian James Cramer, star talking head of CNBC and when only 1 out of 5 trades might work ... its never his fault.
Pretending to be "just like" his viewers, (contracted) for a million dollar TV salary, perks from selling books where true conflict of interest exists. He sits in cash safely parked in money markets and CD's … NOT in the market. He tells viewers to hang-on to any number of destructive suggestions, e.g. "back up the truck" on SHLD at $190 buy AEM at $83 (all time high) and his call on BSC was legionary as insiders were dumping.
... On 3/12/08, Bear Stearns was trading over $60 a share … “I am imploring everyone NOT TO GET OUT OF BEAR. " Two days later, BSC had a $2 bid and it was no laughing matter for the longs. The only ironic footnote is that Henry Blodget, the poster boy of the Dot.Com fiasco, now defends Cramer *
INVESTOR SALVATION
In the following pages, we go into greater detail, calling attention to "Masters of the Universe" (in their own minds), and making it known brokers are willing to risk a dollar to make a dollar (too much risk for the potential reward.) We explain it is MUTUALLY INCOMPATIBLE for both brokerages and investors to win. We reveal the seductive promises of wealth, aka ‘chumming’ for investors, as ‘bear traps' are laid, introducing such terms as DOW THEORY (nonsense)
Most stocks previously recommended by the brokerages are no longer "covered," and under the guise of "rotation" game, that means the fined-firms sell their inventory over to you on upgrades. Later and at lower prices, they buy back the same stock following their downgrades. Funny how 'they' always win. Firms profess that small opportunities abound while permitting profits to erode, suggesting it you liked it higher, you are going to love it lower. The Street is best making excuses after-the-fact where you are compelled to ante up under dollar cost averaging, which is practically a form of larceny. Ask yourselves: Did you earn $36 billion in bonuses for two years running, no less beat commissions costs? What if any improvement does your 1099 show?
By concentrating on only YOUR positions, our intent is to customize strategies that will be discussed and developed as to proper points of resistance & support identified in advance. Even in a sharply sideways environment, orders to add or sell positions even write 'covered calls' to take in premiums can be placed in advance at your own brokerage firm. As you have found out, buying each dip does not work; holding and doing nothing based on hope also does not work, and there is the high probability that no one wants to discuss or explore your existing portfolio unless it is to suggest some other purchases.
We know every war story that has been told and knew it would happen before it ever did, and our specialty is to "unconvolute" the mess you or your past brokers have created. What you do with the advice afterwards is your choice. But there is no reason that our suggestions cannot be done by you at any discount house and far away from the major brokerages fees.

Permit us to underscore that, as forward-seeing Master Technicians, we use a variety of charts [inter-markets] to determine the next direction. This is not dissimilar to a doctor's EKG reading of your health and well-being: the interpretation is left to the reader. Conversely, Fundamental Analysis is at best backwards-looking with assumptions misapplied to current conditions.
While there is no perfect 'crystal ball or black box,' from our proper due diligence, our track record of 74% (YOY) from trading, also we generate over 30% for IRA accounts from income/growth a strategy considered incompatible by experts. This may appear to be bravado, but we're not in the business of selling books, appearing on TV to fluff egos, or getting only 1 of 4 recommendations correct.
We've been contributors to serious publications that request our editorial comments, from The Financial Times to The Economist etc. Still feared by others who knew and know our reputation of our old firm Princeton Economic Consultants, we were known as the world’s most expensive advisory company with our Sr. partner Marty Armstrong. We were more accurate than the FED itself, as governments around the world sought our council.Our fees at that time,
($4000 per hour), found only the FED itself to be more expensive. PEI was renowned for the 8.6-Year Confidence Model.
As this site matures, we will be putting forth empirical evidence - exhibits that prove who we are: near perfect market timers for traders or investors. We invite you to visit the site as it will be updated frequently and to make inquires by emailing or calling during trading hours… it costs you nearly nothing to ask for a second opinion ... there is still hope through our assistance.

A subsidiary of MBL & Associates DBA Hedgehog Consulting
Due to the precarious state of affairs, a special Chart Page concludes nothing can alter the direction. Cycles, not man, are in control.
OUR MISSION: As independent, outside advisors to professional institutional desks, hedge funds, and Private Clients, our intent is to provide three decades' expertise as Master Technicians to improve your current position even in a sideways market, using the same methods, techniques and strategies we offer to our "professional clients." There is one principal difference. You dictate to us what STOCKS YOU ALREADY OWN and we work with them not the other way around.
When you consider it has taken nearly 10 years to get 'some' of the major 'indexes' to these levels, when measured against YOUR portfolios or mutual funds, those investments are only about 1/2 of their original value. This site different from all others, IT MAKES YOU THE MASTER IN CONTROL of your financial well-being in a partnership with us to extricate and free up cash from lagging non-performing sideways investments.
Requesting an appraisal of your ownership portfolio with our 30-years of market trading experience as Master Technicians, proper strategies can be devised then implemented -- NOT with new money but working with and returning your original money. WE can hone in on your stocks, bonds, mutual funds etc, make a proper assessment of your investments, and plan a proper strategy. It is critical to filter out and ignore headline noise, as it is pure background distraction. See immediately below just how 'long term' impacted Asian investors.
*** 10.28.08 DIMINISHED CAPACITY- QUESTIONS WHEN & HOW LONG IS LONG TERM: At the heart of all bubbles is the SEDUCTION of getting in early and often before the balloon starts to inflate with hot air. Doesn't matter if it's the 1630's TULIP BULB MANIA. History is REPLETE with anyone willing to prostitute themselves. Worse is to be lead by con-merchants as the media pretends to be “on the money” While the few remaining firms run 'noble sounding TV commercials (how they are ready to stand by you), all are late to notice the mistakes that led to a SYSTEMIC CRISIS unfolding over the past 15 months. Now after 6500 DOW points are lost, the same experts claim the best buy "of a life time."
The NIKKEI bubble starting in 1991 is still being felt, as our own Dot.Com mania that deflated the Nasdaq bubble. Thus Japan's "long term" buy and hold erased two decades' trading near 26 year lows. Can That Happen in the US? if you bought the S&P 500 in 2000, you'd be down 40% nine years later. Dollar cost averaging is an absolute disaster. You would be behind on nearly every addition no matter when you started.
