Your message tonite on Smart E Trader was worth the price of the entire subscription. Your messages have been great. I am nearly 79 and have been an investor since 1953. I have taken many services, and at times turned my portfolio over to various services. I have PAID for many lessons very dearly the hard way. Yours is the only truly unbiased, intelligent and best service I have ever taken. Thankyou.--Charlie Ringler

 

 

 

The bear market of 2000-2002 caught almost every investor with complete surprise. Investors were lulled into complacency with the daily reiterations by Wall Street analysts of the bullish outlook for stocks. They were told to take the long term approach, because shorter term investing was "risky." The result: About $9 trillion of wealth was wiped out.

But for informed traders who followed our advice, this was one of the greatest opportunities of a lifetime...by selling short. You see, short selling enables you to make incredible profits as stocks decline. Yes, that's right! You too can laugh all the way to the bank when stocks crash.

Wall Street won't tell you that. And when Wall Street analysts are asked on national TV about short-selling, they tell you that "it's risky." Why is protecting yourself and making money risky?

Wall Street insiders make fortunes by selling short in bear markets. But they don't want the public to do it. Short-selling is nothing more than selling first at a higher price, and buying the stock back sometime in the future at a lower price.

With our SMARTE TRADER service you will trade with greater confidence. We have no axe to grind, no investment banking commissions to earn with the recommendations. You will be sure that the advice and analysis comes from a professional trader, not just someone who knows how to write.

We Guarantee: You will not find any similar trading service with a better track record, anywhere.

But the financial reward of SMARTE TRADER advice is only half of it. If you are serious and dedicated, you will become a superior trader, which will bring monetary returns for the rest of your life.

          You will learn to look at the markets in a totally different way. You will ignore all the traps Wall Street sets for you. You will learn the secrets of the inner workings of the markets, what produces rallies and plunges, how to identify tops and bottoms, and how to profit from them.  

          The recent revelations about fraud and deception on Wall Street have been known by Bert Dohmen's clients for 27 years. In fact, he has shown his clients how to use this knowledge to protect themselves.

The track record of our SMARTE TRADER service speaks for itself. The superb results have made it the premier and most successful subscription service for short-term traders available anywhere. Testimonials from floor traders on the exchange and hedge fund managers attest to it.

What Have We Done Lately?

This Chart shows some of our trading recommendations in the year 2000.

NASDAQ COMPOSITE YEAR 2000

But now I want to give you some of the more recent history.

In the years 2000-2002, we have experienced the most devastating market decline, in terms of dollars, in history. Wall Street continued to advise investors to "hold for the long-term." Well, that advice cost many investors utter devastation of their retirement nest egg. And it had nothing to do with the attack on Sept. 11. But our subscribers were prepared. They sold and sold short. 

One of the leading mutual fund families at one time during this bear market, had over 16% of its huge stock holding with a loss of 90% or more. So much for "Buy and Hold." 

But one group made significant profits: short-term oriented traders, either professionals or those who had the advice of the best professionals in the business. And that includes subscribers to my SMARTE TRADER service.

  SMARTE TRADER helped investors and traders avoid the traps…and profit from the sharp declines by selling short. It's the happiest bunch of investors you'll find anywhere. In fact, in early October 2000, I compared the NASDAQ chart to that of gold in early 1980's. Here is what I saw:

             I predicted the NASDAQ Composite would eventually decline to 1500. (The high had been over 5000) That prediction was considered "extreme", but my target was reached! (See table to the left for the extraordinary profits, as the market plunged again.)

"The Fed Awakes"

          I could go on and tell you about my headline on December 5, 2000, "The Fed Awakes...." How in the middle of December I predicted that the Fed would lower interest rates in the first week of January 2001. In an unusual move between meetings, they did!..  

NASDAQ COMPOSITE 2001

            I could tell you about my headline on January 8, 2001 "Trading Rally Ahead..." My buy recommendations of that day produced superb profits over the next three weeks. I also warned of "dangerous traps ahead..." I predicted the rally would have a short life span of a few weeks.

          A big 61.8% of advisors were bullish, even more than at the euphoric NASDAQ top in March 2000. And you should know, when most of the "experts" agree, they are usually wrong.

          My headline of February 2, 2001 reads: "The End of the Tech Rally." I recommended selling and selling short. Over the next weeks, technology and telecom stocks were demolished. The NASDAQ Composite plunged 1000 points to a new bear market low. You won't get timely analysis like this anywhere else... At any price.    

Another Perfect Turn!

         A successful trader knows that markets usually don't go in a straight line. He is always ready to change his position when the indicators call for a trend reversal.

         In late March 2001, investors got very pessimistic, just when my indicators suggested that the selling binge was ebbing. On April 5th, 2001 I recommended closing out all short positions in anticipation of a strong rally. The next day the Dow plunged 220 points. It was a perfect day to close out shorts with big profits.

A few days later we recommended numerous new buys. As you know now, the April-May upmove was spectacular. Our subscribers once again made the perfect turn, from short to long.

The April-May 2001 market rally turned Wall Street bullish. In late May, national TV featured all the well-known brokerage firm analysts with the same message to investors: "Buy."

         But I was skeptical, the markets were choppy and trading became more difficult. But when my technical indicators started giving sell signals, I immediately acted.

         In July-early August 2001 I recommended a large number of short positions for my subscribers in order to profit from the next market decline. Over the next weeks, (not including the aftermath of the terrorist attack), these short sale recommendations reaped huge profits, up to 46%. While most investors trembled, subscribers to SMARTE TRADER profited handsomely. For the results see the front page.

The chart shows our major forecast of important turning points  in the year 2001. Our subscribers know that we usually, but not always, catch such turns within 1-2 days.

Note how we pinpointed the bottoms of declines, and then the rally tops. For a trader, its important not to be perpetually bullish or bearish. The market goes in waves. In order to profit, you must go with the waves. You must be like a champion surfer: when the wave runs out, you get off.  

After The CrashLook at September 2001. After the terrorist attack, there was gloom and doom everywhere. I wrote at the time, that once the stock markets reopened, after a brief shakeout the market would rise strongly. It did!

          The NASDAQ Composite rose 42% over the next 10 weeks. My "buy signal" of Sept. 24 and 27 (depending on the service) were right on. My subscribers smiled as the perennial "gloom and doomers" stayed on the side, and short-sellers were bloodied.

Technical analysis shows me what the insiders are doing. They know when business is deteriorating, when their company is running out of cash, that the doors for new financing are closed, etc. Wall Street analysts won't know that till you have lost most of your money on the stock. But it takes years of experience to interpret the signals correctly.
