My dentist tells me to “rest back, this won’t hurt.”  Well, I do try to “rest back,” but it doesn’t do any good, and it does hurt. (He lies a lot).

When your broker or adviser tells you to “rest back” because you’re “diversified” or because you “have to hold on for the long haul,” you had better not believe that nonsense, either, because you’re going to get hurt.

They’ve probably also told you that you need to “rebalance your portfolio.”  Chances are, that means selling winners and buying losers.  Makes a lot of sense.  Not.

This is going to be a very tricky stock market now, because the bloom is almost off the rose for a while and you are going to need to be nimble.

Nimble: as in proactive.

You are going to have to take charge of your own affairs, and mind your own money.  And keep your ears open and your brain working.  You are going to have to get used to falling out of love with individual stocks, “rent” them only so long as they make money for you, and get rid of them when they don’t love you back anymore.

At CandleWave, we aim to help you keep your money safe, first of all; and then to help you make money whether the market goes up or goes down.   It does that.  All the time.  And there is profit to be made in both directions. We don’t care a whit about “diversification” for the sake of diversification.  That sounds a lot like “dumbing down.”

Warren Buffett has it exactly right: “Rule #1 is: Don’t Lose Money; and Rule #2 is: Read Rule #1.”

We want to tell you why you should follow CandleWave’s lead, because it all revolves around you.  Y-O-U!  Peek at our little essay entitled “Spiking the Ball: How Japanese Candlestick Charting Predicted a Rise of 1600 Points in the Dow” to see a great example of our analytical tools at work.  Some of our tools are well-known. Others are our own invention, and nobody else has them or uses them.  They’re our “secret weapon,” they’re amazingly accurate, and we keep them “locked up in our safe” just as Coca-Cola keeps its secret formula locked away.  All of our tools, together, lay bare the psychology of the market better than anything else.
