How Knowing When to Buy ISAs Can Make You Seriously Rich
Knowing when to buy ISAs is a key element of ISA Trend Investing.
As well as knowing how to pick a top performing investment fund and then wrap an ISA around it you also need to make sure that you time your buying, meaning you buy it when the market is healthy – when the market is in an uptrend.
On the other hand, when the market goes into a downtrend, you need to switch out of your chosen investment fund and into a cash based fund.
Today I am going to tell you about a proven timing system that has helped me become a liquid millionaire.
William J. O’Neil – Stock Market Master
William J. O’Neil is not well known in the UK, but in the US he is regarded as a stock market master. If you’ve read my book Liquid Millionaire you’ll know that O’Neil taught me a proven timing system that helps you get in and get out of the market at the right time. This timing system is based on helping you to determine future market direction.
It is also based on how the market in reality actually functions. Bill has commented on how far back they had gone when researching. He stated in a radio interview that they had tracked how the market operates in each of the market cycles over the last 125 years
But does it really work?
Not Missed the Start of EVERY Single Bull Market
Using this system of timing the market, in the last 50 years Bill has not missed the start of every single bull market. That is pretty impressive isn’t it? It is so impressive that I would like to say it again for emphasis:
Bill O’Neil, using this timing system has not missed the start of every single bull market over the last 50 years.
And it is no coincidence that this same timing system was the one that I used to time my first bull market in 2003 and this latest bull market that began in March of this year.
In the spring of 2008, Bill said that the timing system he uses wasn’t his. Instead he said that the system was based on how the market works. What Bill also mentioned is that the way the market works is the same way it has worked throughout its entire history. And I agree. This is a very good point to highlight.
An Investment System Based on Facts, Not Opinions
The timing system that Bill O’Neil uses and I use is based on facts and therefore it’s nobody’s system. Yes, facts that have come from the entire 125 year history of the stock market and not opinions. That is probably why it tends to work so well. This same timing system also helped my clients and I to correctly get out at the end of the 2003-2007 bull market. The market topped out in October 2007 and during the 3 month period that followed, the system my clients and I use to invest beat the Nasdaq by 21%.
This was the period when the market fell 19% in just 3 months. However my clients and I were in a cash based fund which gained 2% over that same period.
As they say, timing is everything.
Personally I think it is a great way to accurately time the market. But I have to warn you that it’s not foolproof. When I read the trend of the market using this system, I get it right about 80-90% of the time.
In Friday’s blog I am going to show you how my clients benefit from this timing system and knowing exactly when to buy ISAs. In the mean time if you would like to find out more about how ISAs can help to make you rich please click here for a FREE sneak preview of my book Liquid Millionaire.
