Buy - Hold & Prosper?

This is how to make a fast $5800 in the stock market and no need to invest in those risky penny mining and biotech stocks – This is possible with one trade in one of Canada’s most respected technology companies.

First you need about $1 million dollars

On July 2000 buy 8000 shares of Nortel for $124.50

Following a 1 for 10 reverse split Dec 2006 you would now own 800 shares of Nortel that trade for about $7.30

That works out to a market value of $5840

Should have bought RIM

Sector Rotation

Sector Rotation - if you get it right you can beat the broader markets

In 2001 - 2002 the Financial stocks powered upward as the Technology stocks torpedoed.

Now in 2007 - 2008 the Financial stocks torpedo as the Material stocks power upward.

The ratio chart below clearly displays the buy-materials and sell-financial signal of late 2006

When the reversal comes we want to be there -

Best guess - April 2008
