Welcome to the MarketTechnician.com!

We provide professional tools for timing the stock market. While it is undoubtedly hard to time the market, we believe that it is possible. Consider what is at stake. Since the summer of 1998 the stock market as measured by the S&P 500 has gone precisely nowhere.

A dollar invested in the S&P 500 in June of 1998 is worth just about a dollar today. Meanwhile inflation has ground a June 1998 dollar down to 82.8 cents. That's the bad news.

The good news is that while the stock market has indeed gone nowhere, if one had invested in small cap stocks one would have done very well, earning 83% between June of 1998 and December of 2005.

But there is even better news. The stock market has covered a great deal of territory while 'going nowhere' for seven and a half years. Considering only swings of more than 10%, the S&P 500 traveled approximately 52% per year. If you had been able to capture just half of those swings your return would have been better that 20% per year.
