Options for Active and Passive Traders
We recognize that investors have different risk tolerance levels - that's why we provide bull/bear market signals for both long-term trends and intermediate-term trends for each of the TSP funds (C, S , I, F, L Income, L 2050, L 2040, L 2030 and L 2020.)
We define the intermediate-term trend as a period between several weeks and several months long. Focusing on the intermediate trend allows a trader to control risk without subjecting investments to the wide price swings associated with long-term trend strategies. Goal: sidestep corrections and bear markets.
We define the major trend as a 1-2 year perspective. Focusing on the bigger picture means more volatility, but less frequent trading than our intermediate trend strategies. Goal: sidestep bear markets.
We provide; you decide.

Daily Email Updates, When Necessary
We publish weekly - that's 52 issues a year, and each newsletter provides the current status of our timing models. You're kept current on weekday buy/sell signals, when they occur, with email alerts. To maximize the effectiveness of our timing models, combine buy signals with the top monitored TSP funds in relative strength from our weekly rankings.
Stand Aside During the Big Declines
Timing signals are generated with proprietary technical, objective strategies. As with all timing strategies, our models experience losing trades and occasional whip saws, but they stand aside during the big declines and have provided a respectable long-term return.
