If you have read "The Brainwashing of the American Investor", you know that I have very little respect for the usefulness of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. (click here) Still, most of the world looks to the DJIA to determine what is, or has been, "going on" in the stock market. Most traditional approaches to Investment Management would describe the period from June, 2002 through June, 2003 as "choppy", "directionless", "volatile", "flat", "lackluster", or "boring". After all, the DJIA was right around 9000 on both dates. Nothing happened. Just another dismal twelve month period for investors and their Mutual Fund portfolios.

But thousands of people now understand that any reasonable amount of time in the Stock Market will provide enough volatility to produce opportunities for profitable trading. To people who have studied the QDI trading strategy (Quality, Diversification & Income) presented in "The Brainwashing of the American Investor", the June, '02 thru June, '03 trading year was a bonanza! A gold mine containing hundreds of high quality veins of profitability in NYSE Equities rated as "Investment Grade" by S & P. 

The chart below (courtesy of America On Line) clearly shows three major trading opportunities during this dismal year. "The Brainwashing of the American Investor" teaches you how to take advantage of them... while they are happening! When Market Volatility becomes your best friend, you have arrived as an investor. Let's face it,  Uncertainty is the playing field for the Investment Game, and until you learn to deal with it productively, your just not going to move your portfolio Working Capital in the right direction. Trading Opportunities like those illustrated below are out there...  all of the time.

During 2003, profits could well have been taken on many different NYSE equities, had the simple trading strategies explained in "The Brainwashing of the American Investor" been applied. Just examine the chart above, and the individual charts of companies rated B+ or better by Standard & Poor's. In particular, those companies that are profitable and pay dividends. During 2003, profits could well have been taken on many different NYSE equities, had the simple trading strategies explained in "The Brainwashing of the American Investor" been applied.
