I first brought this to the attention of the group in June '99.The unique 
thing about it is you can have it managed or just use his web-site to take 
the recommendations free.[www.fundtrader.com]

I chose to have it managed due to my schedule and dollar cost averaged in 
with $30K.It is now worth well over $60K.Had I taken the time to follow the 
"buy the dip" advice it would be much more.

I gain nothing from sharing the info here other than the hope others may 
scrutinize it and see if current and/or future products fit your needs.It is 
just one of my asset allocation chunks.I intend to pay close attention to 
his new Bull/Bear product because it will be the first to actually take 
short trades.

Sincerely,

John

>Let me emphasize the word "could".  If momentum remains strong,

>In fact, there have been years when strong momentum carried

>Two momentum indicators are currently bullish.  MACD is positive
>and the Zweig 4% Value Line model is bullish.  If both turn
>negative sometime after April 9th, the "season" for stocks
>would change from "strong" to "weak".
