One Decision... Once a Day... That's all it really takes to profit in both up AND down markets.
If the "Credit Crisis Bear Market" of 2008 taught investors anything, it was that a long-only approach to the market is no longer sufficient. It is our humble opinion that no investor wants to remain invested in the stock market during brutal declines. And why should they? Today, there are tools available to all investors that can profit from declines in stock prices.
In short, we believe investors MUST have the ability to make money in both rising and falling markets. To that end, we offer The Daily Decision Service.

Introducing The NEW "Adaptive" Daily Decision Service
The
However, the NEW "Adaptive" Daily Decision timing system represents a dramatic upgrade to our original system. The new system is more active, more trend sensitive, is a multiple strategy system, adapts to changing environments, employs multiple timeframes, is 100% Rules-Driven, and most importantly, is more profitable!
For more information on how the system was designed, how it works, and the performance results, Download our Special Report on the All-New "Adaptive" Daily Decision market timing system.
The new system is quite robust, if we do say so ourselves. But see for yourself - below are the results of the system test for the new "adaptive" timing system.
Before we ever go "live" with the trading strategy, we insist that the management system be thoroughly tested - preferably in good markets, bad markets and everything in between. So, before we introduced our NEW Daily Decision system, we conducted a thorough test of the system. Although no backtest is ever perfect (far from it!), what we're looking for is an indication of how the system could perform in different conditions. In short, based on the numbers below, we feel the system has impressive potential and we thought you might enjoy seeing the numbers.
Below is a summary of the system test results of our Daily Decision systems. Please note that the results below do not represent actual trading. However, the test does provide us with an indication of what we might be able to expect in varying market environments such as a bull market, a bear market, and that annoying "in between" type of environment.

Please see important disclosures at the end of this report relating to the limitations of backtested results. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
While the system has been upgraded, the Daily Decision Service will still provide members with three model portfolio alternatives to follow. Below is a summary comparing and contrasting the three models.
- Main Model: The Main Model in our Daily Decision Service is designed to be a "new age" market timing portfolio. The model portfolio has the ability to be long the market, short the market, or in a neutral - or cash - position. The Main Model utilizes the S&P 500 index for both long and short positions and a money market equivalent for the neutral position.
- Aggressive Model: By definition, the Aggressive model takes more risk. This is accomplished primarily via the use of leveraged ETF's which are designed to double or triple the performance of the underlying index on a daily basis. When our Environment Model is bullish, the Aggressive Model will own a 3X long ETF designed to provide triple the daily return of the S&P 500. When the Environment Model is neutral, the Aggressive Model will either be in cash or utilize 2x long or short ETF's depending on the Short-Term Trend-Following signal. And when the Environment Model is negative, the Aggressive Model will own 2x short ETFs designed to provide twice the inverse return of the S&P 500.
- Hybrid Model: The Hybrid Model, as you might surmise, is a combination of the Main and Aggressive Models. When our Environment Model is bullish, the Hybrid Model will own a 2X long ETF designed to provide triple the daily return of the S&P 500. When the Environment Model is neutral, the Hybrid Model will not utilize leverage and will either be long, short or in cash depending on the system's Short-Term Trend-Following signal. And when the Environment Model is negative, the Hybrid Model will own short ETFs designed to provide the inverse return of the S&P 500.
On a personal note, I'd like to let subscribers know that in my personal accounts, I allocate approximately 60% of my personal portfolio to the Daily Decision systems.

Although we believe the ALL-NEW system is a significant upgrade, the live performance of the Daily Decision service hasn't been too bad (if we do say so ourselves)...

Those are NOT typos. The Daily Decision models have outperformed the S&P 500 Index by significant margins. (The Aggressive model outperformed by 6 to 1 in 2009 alone!)

Keep up the great work - your Daily Decision is awesome!!
Glenn Q.
I am really enjoying the discipline of your market signals. Before I subscribed to your Daily Decision service, I was a bit of an options junkie, winning big sometimes, losing big other times. Stress level was high. Now I just relax and follow your signals... Thanks for sticking to your guns and protecting us from the whipsaw that's cost me so much in the past!
Kris L.
The information that you provide is wonderful!
Rick E.
I read your email alerts daily, I am a big believer in your systems...
Cary H.
I want you to know that I have developed a great amount of trust in your market timing abilities. I consider myself a relatively sophisticated investor and have applied my applied mathematics and computer science background to develop fairly sophisticated trading strategies and indicators. However I find it practically impossible to rigorously and systematically apply these trading strategies while remaining active in my profession (earth science modeling at NASA). Hence, I rely on your service to keep me informed of what I truly need to know among the overwhelming amount of financial news and to keep my investment accounts on the right side of the trend. Thank you for allowing me to sleep at night!
C.L.K.
Thank you...you have exceeded my expectation and I really appreciate it!
Maria P.
Thanks for your advice and your Daily Decision service. It helps enormously to be able to have a non-emotional simple system to CALL out a plan and when to BUY and when to sell to prevent me having a shaky hand.
Brian S.
I read a lot of financial news and information online, but your analysis and explanation for things is the best. Keep up the great work!!!!

The Daily Decision Models are model portfolios. The return calculations for the Historical System Test are based on system testing from 12/31/1996 through 4/13/2012.
Hypothetical system testing and model portfolios do not represent actual trading. It should be noted that backtested results do not take into account payment of commissions or reinvestment of dividends, have inherent limitations, incorporates the benefit of hindsight in the development of the system, and are for informational purposes only.
The backtested results for the main model assume going long the S&P 500 index on buy signals, to cash on STTF neutral signals and short the S&P 500 on sell signals. We assumed no interest was earned on the cash position, no commissions were paid on trades, and no dividends or capital gains were earned during the testing period. The results for the hybrid model assume going 2X long the S&P 500 index when the environment model is on a buy, long and short the S&P 500 index on STTF signals, going to cash on STTF neutral signals, and short the S&P 500 on sell signals. The results for the aggressive model assume going 3X long the S&P 500 index when the environment model is on a buy, 2X long and short the S&P 500 index on STTF signals, going to cash on STTF neutral signals, and 2X short the S&P 500 on sell signals.
Your actual results may differ from results reported for the model portfolio for many reasons, including, without limitation: (a) performance results for the model portfolio do not reflect trading commissions that you may or may not incur; (b) performance results for the model portfolio do not account for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity, that may affect your results; (c) the securities chosen for the model portfolio may be volatile, and although the "purchase" or "sale" of a security in the model portfolio will not be made in the model portfolio until confirmation that the email alert has been sent to all subscribers, delivery delays and other factors may cause the price you obtain to differ substantially from the price at the time the alert was sent; and (d) the prices of securities in the model portfolio at the point in time you begin subscribing to our service may be higher than such prices at the time such stocks or options were chosen for inclusion in the model portfolio.
The S&P 500 is a stock market index containing the stocks of 500 large-cap corporations, most of which are US companies. The index is the most notable of the many indices owned and maintained by Standard & Poor's, a division of McGraw-Hill. S&P 500 is used in reference not only to the index but also to the 500 companies that have their common stock included in the index. S&P 500 returns shown in this report are based on the cash index only and do not include the reinvestment of dividends. Investors cannot invest directly in the index.
Investments in equities carry an inherent element of risk including the potential for significant loss of principal. Past performance is not an indication of future results.
