ETF Newsletter in the Email (#2 Freebie)
In the last shameless promotion of my new ETF newsletter, I bragged about how brilliantly the system caught the turn in Energies. This week I’m going to brag about how well it caught the turn in the Metals and Mining SPDR (XME). It sold in late July and price has dropped nearly 70% since then.
I’m no gold bug or hater for that matter, I have no axe to grind one way or another. I just try to follow the price trend. Incidentally, the system is currently long both gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) and is sitting on fat losses in both positions, but that’s the way it goes, I don’t get too emotional about any single position, win or lose.
If you’d like to join the email list (free till New Year then $199 a year thereafter), just email me or leave a comment. If you did so before and didn’t receive the second newsletter, just email me again… I’ve had to add hundreds and hundreds of names to the list in the last week and no doubt many got lost in the shuffle — thanks for your patience.

Please put me on your list for the newsletter. Can you get my email from my comment entry or should I email you? Thanks for your blog.

Why is it $199 a year? What if you decide halfway to stop doing it like you did with the box?
Can’t you offer monthly? That way, no long term contracts, no commitments, no hard feelings either way.

@crox: Yes, it’s $25 a month if you want to do it month to month, which I encourage most commitment-phobic people to do.

Is there a reason why you would rather become a newsletter salesman than trade your own system and make even more money?
November 16th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
@crox: If the system is really good, then I’ll raise money and drop the newsletter, but I’ll give it a year or two as a public thing which everyone can enjoy.

I will subscribe when it comes, because I have derived something of value….. major value… from Chairman’s website over past 12 months.
Also unlike a lot of people I read, I feel that there is still a lot more to learn from him and a lot of depth left. I look forward to it.
Also as a side resource I have found that Ed Seykota has quite a bit of resources available for trend following systems and I found that going through the tutorials and system design / implementation was worth the time. (www.seykota.com)

@Soulek: Thanks for the support; time will tell if the new newsletter has value (I suspect it will, but I’m biased).

Chairman,

November 17th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
@Babak: No backtest… as usual, I’m flying by the seat of my pants. :)
PS: Mail got kicked back to me saying your “inbox is full.”

Much respect for fuzzy’s call on SKF. WOW!
November 20th, 2008 at 7:17 am
@Hudson: It’ll get whipsawed from time to time but eventually catches something … more interesting to me is how it has (mis)handled RKH KBE and KRE in recent weeks.
November 20th, 2008 at 8:13 am
@ mao: take a look at a 15 yr VIX chart if you want to see confusion at its best. Fuzzy is working the midnite oil. Is’nt the market getting a little DEPRESSED here?
November 20th, 2008 at 9:35 am
@Hudson: Yeah, everything is seriously out of whack. I gave up trying to gauge the market’s mood (let alone trying to come up with “valuations”) and am strictly a trend automaton now.

The government is printing money so fast that even cash isn’t a safe bet any more, says Daniel Zurbrügg. And even though gold has slumped during this crisis, the long-term outlook for gold investing remains attractive. Once institutional investors stop dumping gold holdings and the US dollar rally stalls, Daniel says gold will zoom back up to $1,000 an ounce and beyond.

@Murray: His guess is as good as the next guy’s.
