Or at least in the short term.  It definitely seems like we are going up in the immediate months but I’m not so sure about the mid to long term as people are still underestimating the carnage that the housing market will bring.  In the mean time though, enjoy the price action and make some money   We probably have a few weeks to months of good times unless we get surprising news.

As long as you keep yourself updated and stay nimble, you will do okay in this market.

It was a bummer of a month to kick start April(1 year anniversary) as i had been out of the traders seat for the most February and March not risking any of my or your money in the insanity of a market place that was present at the time. But as April pressed forward a wave of stunning opportunities was presented before us in which i was able to bank a 17% return on the Black Service portfolio! Even with our +130% annual return in 2008 in this 17% monthly gain was bigger than any month in 08?. April was an awesome month last year as well. Banking a huge amount on trades and of course me making $30,000 in sign ups for black service that month was quite a rush as well

Back in April of 08 the Black Service portfolio was up 450% and now closing today we’re up 870%. Thats a 76.36% annual return through the worst recession and fucked up market in history! And we even did it while taking the last 2 months off prior to April! How many people you know pulled off that kind of return in the last year eh? And this is all done with sound money management rules. I don’t invest a lot of money into any one stock. My huge annual returns are done the safe way. I only trade 5-10% of my total capital into any given trade folks.

What are Black Service Members Saying?

With the recent movements in the markets making many question whether we’re moving up or down, market timing comes into question. A few weeks ago, our Chairman and Investment Director Alexander Green penned an article on market timing for Oxford Club subscribers…

At the Investment U Conference in St. Petersburg, FL a few weeks ago, my good friend and colleague Mark Skousen called me out.

He told the audience that I was opposed to market timing, but laughed and insisted I was one of the best market timers he knew.
