The Dow Theorists (and yours truly) have always emphasized that the most profitable way to invest in the stock market for the average American is to invest in harmony with the primary trend. In Dow Theory terms, this would mean investing in a period of severe undervaluation and holding on to your stocks (or dollar cost-average into your portfolio) until the end of the bull market – such as September 1999 when the Dow Theory bear market signal was given -- and then stay out until the primary bear market has fully asserted itself. I myself sold all my stocks in January 2000, and since then, I have maintained that we are still in a secular bear market, despite the fact that I am still bullish in the intermediate term.

We have all heard it from the media, but how deep and pervasive is the “problem,” really? A good knowledge of this trend is very important. I will also use this forum to discuss the possible implications as well as other trends that I see happening in the future. I may well be wrong, but I definitely do not want to get caught off-guarded.
