Bear market trading strategy?

Step 1: See it coming.Step 2: Get out of the way.

In a radical departure from old-school investment advisors whose clients lost their shirts in 2008, a former day trader demonstrates a DIY market timing model that gets you out of dangerous securities before they can drag down your life savings due to...

--Stock Market Crashes--Bursting Bubbles--Bear MarketsBuy and Hold works... until it doesnt.

If you held only A-list stocks in 2007, your portfolio was still cut in half the very next year. Unless youve got a 30-year horizon that affords you the privilege of waiting out the bad times, you need a different approach.

A trading system with no emotion.

The Stock Market Cash Trigger is a mechanical model that takes emotion out of the mix. It automates decision making, and requires no special tools or software. Other timing models with proven track records are often built around proprietary algorithms and offered up as subscription alerts to the tune of $50, $75, $100 or more per month.

All you need here is a computer, the chart page that comes bundled with your online brokerage account, and 5 minutes of your time a month.

If you invest in stocks or ETFs, you can dramatically improve your returns.

More than just protection, this model will show you how to profit from corrections, crashes and bears.

-- Like Microsoft? If you had held it during 2008, you would have been down -44%. Had you employed the Stock Market Cash Trigger, you would have been up +27% that year.

-- Like Exxon? From 2000 to 2017, you could have doubled your total return vs. buy-and-hold.

-- Prefer an ETF? Buying and holding QQQ for the past 17 years would have gotten you a +91% total return. Trading QQQ based on the Stock Market Cash Trigger would have generated +1,050%.

Yes, these are backtested returns, and theres no shortage of critics of backtesting. For that matter, theres no shortage of critics of mechanical trading systems, either. For the record, most investors would be well advised to buy wisely (that is, buy broad-market ETFs) and hold on for dear life.

But if you cant? If youre time horizon isnt 30+ years? If you dont have the fortitude to ride markets up and then down, up and then down, ad nauseam? Then maybe you owe it to yourself to explore a simple method that reduces risk and volatility in your portfolio, and lets you sleep soundly at night without worries of market bears or bursting bubbles.

A note from the author.

The Stock Market Cash Trigger is not magic and its not rocket science. Its a technique hiding in plain sight on the simplest of stock charts.

I didnt invent it, I just gathered up the puzzle pieces that were there on the floor all along; eliminated those that didnt fit, put the pieces that did into a structure, and verified results through backtesting.

See if it doesnt open your eyes like it did mine. --DAC

Is a market crash coming?

We all know the answer to that. Just a matter of when. Get ahead of the inevitable and start protecting your investments today.

Why I Wrote This Book

You may have heard the expression, "The best way to make money is to not lose it." Thats more than just a clever financial bumper sticker. Its a slogan steeped in truth.

While stock market gains magnify stock market gains through the beauty of compounding returns, the reverse has a magnifying effect, too.

An example. Take a $100,000 account and lose 10%, and youre left with $90,000. Or lose 30% and youre left with $70,000. Thats straightforward enough. Time to make it up through a market recovery, right? Yes, but look at the gains youll need just to recover and get the account back up to breakeven. To go from $90,000 back to $100,000 requires an 11.1% positive return, not the 10% that caused the setback in the first place.

And to go from $70,000 back to $100,000 requires a 42.9% positive return, not the 30% that cause the setback in the first place.

In short, the greater the loss, the greater the gain has to be in order to recover the loss. And while investors are fixated with this return and that return, whos beating the S&P and which stocks are hitting all time highs, the ultimate success of any investment plan turns on one simple element: minimizing losses. Let me state that again:

The ultimate success of any investment plan turns on one simple element: minimizing losses.

When I was developing the strategy that eventually became The 12% Solution , there was one element that I was determined to include: a mechanism for getting out of risky ETFs and into cash in the event of severe market downturns.

I lived through the Great Recession and like many folks, my portfolio took years to recover. Jump cut one decade, and I'm no spring chicken. A multi-year recovery back to breakeven after some market calamity is no longer an acceptable cost of investing over the long run. I simply don't have the long run. Protection has taken on a larger role in my forays into the stock market.

As a result, The 12% Solution had such a protection mechanism built into its DNA. I called it a cash trigger. It's a simplified version of the method I'll be describing in this book.

So why fix what ain't broke? It's true that, within the confines of The 12% Solution , that built-in cash trigger works perfectly fine. But that strategy is a tightly-focused model with minimal moving parts. In the broader market of risk-on assets, from the vast array of ETFs to individual stocks, adjustments were necessary.

I have a large portion of my money in The 12% Solution , in both traditional and tax-deferred accounts. It automates decision making and lets me sleep at night while delivering returns that beat 99% of money managers. And those funds are protected from another "great" recession by the nature of the strategy.

But I also have a brokerage account where I hold (and trade) individual, high-beta stocks. I can't help myself. I see and I want to buy. And yes, I know they're doing wonderful things in the field of compulsive behavior.

Anyway, it's that account that was crying out for protection. This book chronicles my pathway to that protection.

This book is about minimizing losses. Mine, and yours.

Who Should Read This Book

First off, let me state that this book will not appeal to every investor. Nor should it. There will be those investors who have found a way to avoid the need to sell assets and go to cash in order to protect ones portfolio. Well explore that briefly in the first chapter. (Hint: buy diversified funds and fight the instinct to sell. Ever. It helps to have nerves of steel and a 30-year-plus time horizon.)

There will be those investors for whom selling an asset, whether its plummeting or not, is at odds with their personal policy to pay no capital gains taxes long term or otherwise. I get it. One always needs to take into consideration the tax implications of a sale, and those implications will be different for each individual. (Tip: investors can avoid capital gains taxes altogether by selling in tax-deferred and tax-free retirement accounts.)

So who is this book for? Pretty much everyone else. Its for anyone dabbling in individual stocks. Its for fund investors at a point in their lives where large losses cant be tolerated. Its for anyone who believes it would be in their portfolios best interest to avoid the next Great Recession (2007-2009) when the U.S. stock market lost 57% of its value. Or the dot-com crash (2000-2002), when the Nasdaq Composite lost 78% of its value.

Its for anyone investing in the stock market who wants a tool that will provide a modicum of assurance that losses can be managed. That youre not casting your fate to the wind. That the downside has a limit.

In the coming pages, I'll first ask whether we should be selling at all, ever. Of course, it makes a difference whether we're talking individual stocks or funds. We'll look at one of the more popular metrics for visualizing sell signals, and demonstrate the very real problem with that popular metric. And finally, develop a system that protects both stocks and funds against broader-market downturns -- crashes, corrections, and bear markets. That is the Stock Market Cash Trigger.

And by the way, the end result will not be some magic formula extracted from supercomputing. We're not doing rocket science here. I didn't invent this system from whole cloth. Rather, it's been more like the gathering up of puzzle pieces that were there on the floor all along. I simply eliminated those that didn't fit, put the pieces that did into a structure, and verified results through backtesting.

For the experienced investor who is knowledgeable in the rationale for selling and familiar with SMAs, you're welcome to jump ahead to the chapter Building The Stock Market Cash Trigger and get right to the meat of the strategy. But for new and experienced investors alike who wish to understand the rationale and the thinking that went into the strategy, each subsequent chapter delivers.

Finally, although many readers will be new to the stock market, I dont intend this book to be an intro into stock market investing. For the basics regarding selecting a brokerage firm, setting up a trading account, and executing trades, there are warehouses of books and the Internet at your disposal.

For those new to investing as well as those experienced with its highs and lows, welcome to the Stock Market Cash Trigger .

Chapter 1 - Why Sell Stocks?

In a perfect world, we never have to sell. In a perfect world, every investment decision is a good one and our stocks climb higher every day. In a perfect world, there is no jarring SELL SELL SELL button on Jim Cramers desk. No need for it. For that matter, in a perfect world, Old Blue never gets old, I have the same hair now that I had at age 17, and Brussels sprouts taste like chocolate truffles.
