Success is a numbers game

Success is a numbers game - it's as easy as that!
The major reason for not having more of what you want, more wealth, more health, more power, more
influence, more everything boils down to simple neglect. If you don't take care of neglect, it becomes an
infection which eventually will lead to disease. The word disease, the prefix "dis" means reversal, disconnect,
deprive, negate or lack. Here's the cool thing, get rid of the "dis" and you have ease and today I'm going to show
you that success can be easy. In fact, wealth, health and everything that you want can be easy.
Implement the disciplines contained in this special report and success will be yours for the taking. The easy
disciplines that I am about to share with you will teach you when to stay fully invested in the stock market, when
to stay out, or when to short the markets. Disciplines provide results and results are the true measure of success.
Let's go measure the success of my indicator.
To begin with, the study contained in this report begins in October 1929, "the year of the great stock market
crash". Of course, as you will see below, the actual low of the markets was made in July 1932, nearly three years
later. This study analyzes an investment of $10,000 in 1929 and compares three different investing strategies.
The first strategy is a buy and hold strategy, meaning you invest $10,000 into the Dow Jones Index in 1929 and
hold it through November 2011(the last indicator signal date) vs. two other strategies that I'll describe in a
moment. The result of the buy and hold strategy, using the original 1929 $10,000 investment is now worth
$546,062. As a point of reference, a buy and hold strategy is used by more than 70% of American households and
it's what I consider to be a strategy of neglect, you never manage your money, you never manage your
retirement. However a second strategy, one where you exit and re-enter the stock market each time the
indicator gives the signal results in our 1929 $10,000 investment being worth $6,262,686 today. Success is a
numbers game, which of these two strategies is a better measure of success? Well, truth be told, markets fall
faster than they rise and if you used my indicator to be long the markets when the signal is given and short the
markets when that signal is triggered, our $10,000 investment made in 1929 is now worth $26,563,694. Success
is truly a numbers game and my indicators make the game easy, real easy. Success is easy and I can teach you to
be a disciplined investor, the choice is yours, $546,062 vs. $6,262,686 vs. $26,563,694.
Danger is lurking. My indicator may be days away from generating the next signal. The question is, will you act
upon the signal or neglect it?
According to a recent NBC news poll, 72% of Americans believe that their children will not be better off than they
are. However, together, we can teach our children the easy disciplined approach to manage their retirement
assets and insure that their lives are substantially better than ours. How would you feel if your children had a
better life than you? What action would you take to insure their success? Truth be told, I can help you help them
to generate better results than the indicator that I use to manage long term investments, more to come.
Results are the measure of success. No matter your endeavourer, you need to be making measurable progress in
a reasonable time. Said another way, success is a numbers game and you've got to check the numbers. Don't be
satisfied with anything less than the best of numbers.
You've got to take a good look at yourself every once in a while and say, I need results to be a success. And as
you look at yourself, ask the following three success measurement questions.
1. How much money have I saved and invested during my career?
2. How many books have I read? You need books to invest in the miracle of the mind. How many books have
you read in the last ninety days?
3. In the last six months, how many classes have I taken to improve my skills? What effort have you made to
develop new skills for your future and your family? You've got to make progress in a reasonable amount of
time. You've got to look at the numbers and see how you are doing, it's the name of the game.

The red and blue lines on the charts in this special report are a proprietary mixture of exponential moving
averages that produce a signal each time the lines crossover each other. A few of the crossover signals are noted
above. A cross through signal triggers either going to cash (closing all equity positions) or going 100% short the
markets. Likewise, when the cross over signal occurs, it signals closing out the short position and going 100% long
the markets.
The cross over and cross through signals allow you to catch large moves in both directions of the markets. These
signals provide a disciplined approach, eliminate the guess work and have a bullet proof track record.
You would have been out of the market in early 1969 or short the market and then re-entered in 1970. You
would have gotten out in 1973 and re-entered in 1975. Out in 1976 and re-entered in 1978. Out in 1981 and reentered in 1982. You would never miss a large move up and would never ride a large move down.
Be in the markets when you should and out when you shouldn't. We're not born with courage, but neither are
we born with fear. Fears destroy ambitions, fears destroy fortunes. Fear left unchecked can destroy our lives. I
have created an indicator that destroys indecision, masters probability and eliminates doubt.
Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what's holding you back, what's
keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want
and the person you want to become.
The major reason for not having more of what you want, more wealth, more health, more power, more
influence, more everything boils down to simple neglect. If you don't take care of neglect, it becomes an
infection which eventually will lead to disease. So if you're in the habit of "not doing it," get in the habit of "doing
it." Do all it takes and before you know it, success will be yours for the having. Success is a numbers game, it's as
easy at that!
