The Tactical Investor does not subscribe to the theme that market timing is impossible. We believe that market timing is possible if one takes the right approach. Trying to time the exact top or bottom is an exercise in futility and best reserved for those who seem to have the desire to take on massive losses. Market timing is like waiting for a change in the season. Everyone, in general, knows when winter, fall, spring or summer will roughly begin. However, no one can predict the exact date summer will transition into fall. The same methodology can be applied to timing the markets. Instead of trying to identify the exact Market top or bottom, we look for signs of bottoming and topping action in the market, which would correlate to spotting changes in the weather. This data in turn facilitates the process of determining how close one season is from transitioning to the next. Adopting this approach makes market timing a distinct and achievable feat. The most important tool is mass psychology; it helps us identify the mass mindset and determine the emotional sate of the masses. The focus is on identifying what the masses are doing or going to do, and only then is the technical structure of the markets examined. It is the masses that drive the markets and not the markets that drive the masses. Therefore, it is imperative to understand what this group of emotional beings will do first. History clearly indicates that the masses are always on the wrong side of the equation as they either get in too late or overstay their welcome. At the Tactical Investor, we do not react until the crowds emotions have hit a boiling point; the crowd has to panic or be in a Euphoric mood for us to take action. We then utilize proprietary technical indicators, such as the smart money indicator, the strength indicator, Modified RSI, MACDS with standard deviation bands, etc., Our primary tool, however, is the Trend Indicator. The trend indicator is the only tool of its kind. It is a combination of psychological indicators and technical indicators that identify a trend change before the actual event transpires. Once again, do not mistake this for timing the exact top or bottom. Our goal is simply to identify the direction the markets are going to take. Once the direction the markets will trend in is determined, the focus moves over to identifying stocks with the best patterns. For example, if the Trend indicator is bullish, then the overall theme is to view every strong pullback as a buying opportunity and vice versa. If you would like to learn how to march to your drumbeat instead of dancing to the drumbeat of others, then join us on an exciting journey that will teach how to combine mass psychology and technical analysis to create a very robust system that can significantly alter the outcome of your investments.
