As an example of the success that my book teaches, in a 7 year time frame from January 3, 2006 to December 31, 2012, Decker Corporation increased 304.7% if you would have implemented a pure buy-and-hold strategy. If you would implemented the strategy that I explain in my book, <a “href=”http://booklocker.com/books/6572.html” target=”_blank” style=”color: #000000;”>The Confident Investor, you would have seen a 371.2% return on your investment. This is a 21.8% increase on the profit percentage.

Can your investment system beat the market by that much?

The market is not overly healthy right now. You should be cautious with your investments. There are still some good players out there and I expect this coming week to be slightly positive. Some analysts think we will be down for most of August and maybe into September. My expectation is that it will be generally flat. Cash is king right now so look for bargains!

If you are looking for long-term analysis of the stock, you should look for the stock in the company list that appears to the far right.

Investment Indicator Thoughts

S&P 500
The general S&P 500 (ticker is ^GSPC and the first line of my investment indicator articles). This indicator is seriously into the wait cycle. While the trend the last couple of days last week was positive, we are still well below the stage where I think the stocks followed by this indicator are going to rise in general. Extreme caution should be considered before any investment is made on an individual stock.

NASDAQ Composite
The NASDAQ Composite (the ticker is ^IXIC and the second line of my investment indicator articles). This indicator is seriously into the wait cycle. While the trend the last couple of days last week was positive, we are still well below the stage where I think the stocks followed by this indicator are going to rise in general. Extreme caution should be considered before any investment is made on an individual stock.

This stock is going strong and doesn’t seem to be quitting.
