Let there be no illusions -- long term success in investing is hard. That is why there is only a small percentage that soundly beat the market averages year after year. During the down markets many long term "pray and hold" investors lose their cool and sell out at the worst time.

Can economists, the government or your financial advisor predict how long recessions and bull markets will last? No, and neither can I. The difference is that I don't need to. When you have a price driven, proven technical trading system you don't need to know how long recessions or bull markets are going to last nor do you care. Please read my previous article on fundamental analysis vs. technical analysis. If you did not get it please email me.

Let their be no illusions about the hype and false claims on the internet. Anyone selling a course, newsletter or seminar promising 50% per month returns is trying to take you for a fool. I respect you more than that and because I know how the markets really work I won't make hype claims.

Some months the ETFs I trade will trend and we will make 10-20%. Some months the market will be flat and my system will break even or lose a little. The important thing is long term success with low risk. Did you know that averaging only 6% per month starting with a $10,000 account will make you a millionaire in only a few short years?

So why use hype when I can use the truth? The truth is my system will not make you 50% per month. My core system that requires only 5-10 minutes per night of "work". If you master my day trading system you can double the returns of the regular system, but it is more risk and requires trading 6-7 hours per day. My day trading system does come with my ETF course.

Let's talk about some fundamentals.

Let there be no illusions with the following:

1. That the Federal Reserve can and will save us. The glory days of the stock market responding puppet-like to monetary easing are gone. With the federal fund rates now at incredibly low rates, the Fed no longer has much they can do. Both the equity and debt markets no longer trust the Fed to save them like they once did. The markets have spoken loudly that "trying to pay the left hand with the right hand" does not address in any manner the fundamental value challenges of the underlying assets.
2. That Wall Street will rise again. For better or worse, the prestige, respect, and trust of Wall Street as the capital of the world's financial markets has been shattered, probably beyond repair. Recently in 10-08 this has been a true perfect storm. The most gilt-edged names on the Street have been forced to ask the government to bail them out. This is at great hypocrisy to capitalistic, free enterprise principles. They failed spectacularly, or are seeing such drops in their securities' values; call into question the basic viability of their business models.
3. That Real Estate is, was or will be the answer. Like in all bubbles, once they are over it is quite easy to look back and say "How could we have been so foolish?" While real estate is sometimes value-creating, as when it supports business-building objectives like research and development, better corporate productivity, and general efficiency gains via providing space to combine enterprise/business units, at its essence it is either a flat or naturally depreciating asset class. The myth that the house in which one resides, without capital improvement, will increase in value in any real terms, on a sustained basis beyond population growth, has been by far the biggest cause of the current financial mess. It will be years, if not decades before we will see meaningful, non-capital improvement- based investment return on the real estate asset class.

The only good thing about these bad times is that they force us to look inward, distrust the hype and try new ways to protect and grow our portfolios.

Trading with technical analysis instead of using fundamentals is not new, but might be to you. That is why it could be hard for some of you to believe the types of returns that I talk about on my homepage. Once you see it in action all doubts will be erased forever.

If your portfolio is stagnant or dropping it is time to rethink your whole approach to the markets or at least diversify a portion to self trading. Mentorship with a proven system is the key to success and will be talked about in a later email.

Remember I have a 90 day money back guarantee according to the terms on my homepage.

Member testimonials:

- I am relatively new, but I have orders placed in 3 Forex markets (using the ETF Trend system): EUR/USD, GBP/USD, & USD/JPY. I am actually in the market on a 5BP in EUR/USD with a follow up add-on placed. Yes. I see great power in this system. I have seen many systems that show how to make money in a trending market. This is the first that does that and shows how to preserve (and/or even make a little) money in a channeling market. I am very excited. I feel like I can look at a chart and see something (i.e., possible long or short or stay out) that I would not have been able to see a month ago. It feels like I have a magical secret that is going to make me financially independent in a few years - basically what I have been searching for about 5-10 years now. I have bought a few courses in the past that sounded great, and I got really excited. But when put to the test, I found flaws or just a general sense that something smelled fishy. I have not seen or felt that way with the ETF Trend Trading course - even after putting on a few trades using the techniques in this course. I would tell those interested that I have found what I believe will be a system that could provide financial freedom, if the person was willing to take a small risk (or a bunch of 1% risks) and have the discipline to follow a set of rules without trying to impose emotional control (greed or fear). I would tell them that if they could do these things, this course makes more sense than college. In college you are trained to work for others. This course can train you to work for yourself and save the wealth for yourself - not others.

- It's a great course and concept if you take the time to watch the DVDs and put in the time

- I love the way you get rid of all what's not absolutely important like Fibonacci's and such. I also love the fact that we don't have a precise time during the day to pull the trigger. And I enjoy the way you explain things, your clarity.
