Did you know that being able to read the trend of the stock market is absolutely vital to your financial success?
And did you know that most advisers, brokers and banks are unable to provide you with this vital information, leaving you wide open to seriously underperforming the market and failing to achieve your financial goals?
Today I want to share with you some information that will prove crucial to your understanding of market trends and their importance, and help you to achieve financial freedom.
Make Tax-Free Millions on the Stock Market
I am known by some people as the guy who created a new way to invest in ISAs, a SIPP or a combination of both. It’s called “ISA TREND INVESTING.” You might not have heard of it before, but by using the UK’s best-kept secret, the beloved ISA, to trade investment funds, it is possible to make tax free millions on the stock market. That is, if you know what you are doing. A key part of winning with ISAs – which could help you achieve financial freedom – is having the knowledge of how to trade with the market trend.
Let me clarify what I mean by this by looking at what the term trend actually means when it is related to investing:
In their Investment Dictionary section, Answers.com had this to say: “If you can identify a trend, it can be highly profitable, because you will be able to trade with the trend.” And InvestorDictionary.com had this to say about trend investing: “…success depends on identifying the trend with confidence and catching the trend after it has started. Success includes getting out of the trend as soon as possible after the uptrend turns into a downtrend.”
The Best and Safest Time to Invest
Did you know that the market is officially “healthy” when it’s in an uptrend and that uptrends (bull markets) are always the best and safest time to invest?
Conversely when the market is unhealthy or in a downtrend (bear market) it is far better to be out on the sidelines in the safety of cash.
Therefore when the market is officially in an uptrend, advisers, brokers and banks should be informing their clients to invest. On the other hand, when the market is in a downtrend, advisers should be informing their clients not to invest.
However this is not easy to do. The reason that advisers, stock brokers and banks do not give their clients this information is because they simply do not know how to accurately read the direction or trend of the market.
Whether your financial advisor is helping or hurting is a topic I will be coming back to in future blogs, but for now, who can you turn to for advice on market trend?
Invest With the Trend – and Win
The people who truly understand the market and which way it is heading (trend) are successful stock market professionals. Stock market professionals are people who invest in the market for a living. This means they are doing it all the time. They watch the market every day. They do not sell stocks, investment funds or other financial products to clients. Instead, they invest in the market; period.
And the successful ones, the top ten percent, are the ones who not only make 80% of all the money, but also the ones that you want to be following. These people are the ones who can help you to invest with the trend….and win.
Somebody who knows all about the importance of trend investing is professional investor and author Mark Shipman. In his excellent book; The Next Big Investment Boom Shipman had this to say on the subject:
”It is no coincidence that the hedge funds and other alternative investment companies that employ trend following strategies are responsible for some of the most spectacular performance returns.”
In other words, you can make some serious money if you know how to invest with the trend.
