The Investor's Creed --- A Much More Practical Approach By: Steve Selengut | - Fascinating, isn't it, this stock market of ours, with its unpredictability, promise, and unscripted daily drama.

Igvsi Bargain Stock Monitor - February 2010 By: Steve Selengut | - The Investment Grade Value Stock Index "Bargain Stock Monitor" clearly reflects the profit taking that hit the market late in January--- you and I have been harvesting our gains all along though. Right?
Although there are nearly twice as many IGV stocks 15% below 52-week highs as there were at year-end, there is no evidence that a new correction has commenced--- tune in again in March or April.

A Dismal Decade? No Way - Market Cycle Investing By: Steve Selengut | - From the end of 1999 through the end of 2009, all of the popular Wall Street market performance measurement tools were in the red. The average bloodletting level of the DJIA, the S & P 500, and the NASDAQ was a disturbing-to-some minus nineteen percent.
The Market Cycle Investment Management (mcim) Program By: Steve Selengut | - During the past sixty years, most economic, market, and interest rate cycles have lasted from two to five years, peak-to-peak.

This Stock Market Correction Is Dead By: Steve Selengut | - Actually, hindsight and the Investment Grade Value Stock Index (IGVSI) Bargain Level Monitor tell us that it died early in March 2009. More realistically, however, corrections don't die quite so abruptly. They are supplanted by rallies--- and vice versa.

Their "eliteness" is earned by a B+ or higher S & P rating, a history of profitability, and the fact that they pay d ...

Investment Performance Expectations And Broker Account Statements By: Steve Selengut | - As impossible as it is to predict the future of the markets, it's relatively easy to anticipate what you are going to experience when you view your next brokerage account statement.

Investment Performance Evaluation Re-evaluated: Part One By: Steve Selengut | - It matters not what lines, numbers, indices, or gurus you worship, you just can't know for certain where the stock market is going or when it will change direction. Too much investor time and analytical effort is wasted trying to predict course corrections--- even more is squandered comparing portfolio market values with a handful of unrelated indices and averages.
Investment Performance Evaluation Re-evaluated: Part Two By: Steve Selengut | - The Working Capital Model (WCM) looks at investment performance differently, less emotionally, and without a whole lot of concern for short-term market value movements.

Stock Market Corrections Are Beautiful - And Necessary By: Steve Selengut | - Every correction is the same, a normal downturn in one or more of the markets where we invest.

Investment Performance Expectations: Wcm Fine Tuning By: Steve Selengut | - Contrary to popular belief and Wall Street propaganda, investing is not a competitive event. Rather, it is a uniquely personal, goal-directed activity that individuals must organize and control for themselves.

Igvsi Performance Expectations - Wcm Portfolios By: Steve Selengut | - No investor should ever be surprised by the changes in market value that appear on his or her monthly brokerage account statements. In general, media noise throughout the month should lead to a feel for what has been going on and investors should understand that the market prices of investment securities are constantly changing.

For many, retirement dates had to be pushed back; for others, new jobs had to be found. The tragic flaw? No income allocation in the investment program. Market value builds egos; income pays the bills.

Value Stock Market Crash Report By: Steve Selengut | - There has never been a correction that has not proven to be an investment opportunity. While everything is down in price, there is actually less to worry about than when prices are historically high.
