Everything You Need to Know to Make Money In Bull and Bear Markets
Market experts regularly sing the praises of the revered buy-and-hold strategy, a winning approach in bull markets. But where are those experts when regularly occurring bear markets maul investors' portfolios? In fact, where were you during the most recent collapse, in 2000-2002, when investors who blindly followed the buy-and-hold method were forced to stand-and-watch as years of investment profits were rapidly erased?
Probably holding and praying. So much for the experts.

The number-one key to investing is to preserve your capital. Let All About Market Timing show you how to do just that, by turning your back on the always risky--and oftentimes lethal--buy-and-hold approach.
