stopbuyingthebull.com
www.stopbuyingthebull.com
Stopbuyingthebull.com provides individual investors a subscription to buy, hold and sell signals on all stocks on the U.S exchanges along with the Canadian and Bombay exchanges. Stopbuyingthebull.com offers individual investors the missing link to buying and selling stocks. Everyone tells you that nobody knows when to buy, hold or sell. This is nonsense and we will prove it. When all of the dust clears, stocks either go up or down based on the ratio of buyers and sellers. Bear markets are not great companies turning bad; they are periods of time where sellers exceed buyers in size and duration. Stopbuyingthebull.com is a constant surveillance of the ratios of buyers and sellers accurately indicating the periods you should be willing to take the risk along with the periods you should avoid. The performance of stopbuyingthebull.com beats any money manager performance we have ever seen. We look forward to sharing these performance figures with you at the 2013 AAII Investor Conference November 15 to November 17, in Orlando, Florida.
