Our
Investment Research Model
TimingCube
has developed an innovative investment system we call Trend Timing.
It combines a broad stock market trend following approach for Buy/Sell
directional guidance with the momentum of top ranked world markets.
At the heart of the system is our investment research engine, a
100% mechanical, unemotional market timing Model that is both powerful
and simple to use. This proprietary stock market trend Model, based
primarily on price and volume action of the Nasdaq Composite Index
, uniquely recognizes the broad predominant stock market trend.
It provides investors with an effective "all-weather"
alternative to Buy and Hold investing. Our original QQQQ timing
Model was developed in the first half of 2001 using years of market
data and experience and, having been backtested to 1989, issued
its first "live" signal on June 18, 2001. We then founded our Company
and launched the TimingCube
Web site in the fall of 2001. Our stock market analysis and investment
research has established the high correlation between our Nasdaq
Composite Index driven Model and other major market indexes, U.S.
and international, causing us to extend our reach from strictly
QQQQ timing to other indexes such as the Russell 2000
and the S&P 500
", as well as numerous other world stock market indexes. The Model
is intended for serious long-term investors, not frequent traders
or speculators. On average, only three to five signals are issued
in a typical year. More aggressive investors who prefer faster trading
action might want to look into a related service called TradeGuru.
Investing according to the TimingCube
Model since our first "live" signal on June 18, 2001 has proven
extremely profitable, as shown on our
page. For complete accountability of our stock market analysis,
our trades and returns are independently verified and tracked by
the Hulbert Financial Digest and TimerTrac.com. Results and backtesting
for the current Model which went into effect on July 14, 2006 can
be found on the
page.
Basic
Buy/Sell/Cash
signals
Based purely on changes in market conditions, TimingCube's
Model will generate a Buy, a Sell
or a Cash signal. Once a signal
has been issued, it remains in effect until a new signal invalidates
it. Our Model is run daily after the New York stock market closes,
and we update our Web site and Signal by Phone message accordingly
by 9:00 pm ET that same day. If a new signal is triggered, in addition
to posting it on the "Current Signal"
page, TimingCube
also automatically sends e-mail notifications to all active subscribers.
That way, you don't have to check the site every day to ensure that
you are not missing out on a new signal. As a subscriber, you can
log in to the site at anytime to check the current signal, up-to-date
results, as well as other subscriber-only information such as the
latest Weekly Updates.
When our Model
issues a Buy signal, it means
it is time to buy stocks through one of the index tracking investment
vehicles.
When the signal
becomes a Sell, we then liquidate
our long position and either keep the proceeds in cash (or in a
money market fund) or take a short position, depending on the level
of risk you are willing to take (more on this in our
page).
A Cash
signal is automatically issued by our Model if the Nasdaq Composite
Index moves against our current position by more than 9% from our
Buy or Sell
entry point. This is designed to keep any losses to a reasonable
minimum from the entry point when we are most vulnerable, as no
timing Model will always be 100% right. Once the Nasdaq Composite
Index has advanced 7% or more from our entry point, the maximum
drawdown limit is ratcheted-up to 15% and the Cash
signal becomes a trailing stop. This means that from then on, if
the Composite declines 15% from its most recent closing high on
an active Buy signal,
or moves up 15% or more from its recent closing low on an active
Sell signal, a Cash
signal will be issued and you will be notified. When a Cash
signal is generated, you should liquidate your current long or short
investments and keep the proceeds in cash or in a money market fund
until a new Buy or Sell
signal is issued.
World Index Ranking
While market observation clearly shows that most broad world market
indexes are generally well correlated, we fully recognize that relative
strength always changes between markets we offer the World
Index Ranking service to help you diversify your portfolio
by investing in markets that show the strongest momentum and potential
for superior returns. The World Index Ranking Model
used momentum based with a long term bias; it is 100% mechanical
and unemotional, but the specific ingredients and recipe are proprietary
and therefore are not disclosed.
