Last year you could have used a dart, thrown it at a stock page in the newspaper and bought that stock. By the end of the year you probably would have had a nice profit.

Ninety-nine percent of the brokers never think about helping you protect your capital. In fact these brokers are not taught this very important technique.

What is the new high – new low ratio (NH-NL)? I explain how I developed and use one of the most important aspects of my investing system. With several years of serious study under my belt using my method of the NH-NL ratio, I have accurately protected my money during downturns and have accurately guided my buys when the market has reversed and started a new sustained up-trend (not a head fake).

Did I spell that right? What I mean is change happens. Like what we are seeing now in the stock market. In the Spring everything was headed down. For most of the Summer stocks were going sideways with few exceptions. The down-movers had made their lows and a few stocks were beginning to head up.

How about, “I bought that stock 5 years ago and it went up and now is selling for less that it did when I bought it”. Do I hear the violins playing? There is an old, old saying…
