Schaeffer is also still quite bullish on gold. He is not the best short term sometimes, but his approach beats most (especially Prechter) Timer Digest Ranks Schaeffer #1 Long-term Market Timer, Rates as #1 Gold Timer For 10 Years Cincinnati, February 1, 2002 – Bernie Schaeffer, Chairman and CEO of Schaeffer's Investment Research, has been rated #1 in the "Long-term Timers" category for the three years ended December 31, 2001, as measured by Timer Digest's Annual Report. According to these recently released ratings, Schaeffer also ranked as the #1 gold timer for the 10 years ended December 31, 2001 and as the #2 gold timer for the five years ended December 31, 2001. "I am very pleased to have achieved these ratings," said Schaeffer. "Schaeffer's Investment Research focuses on Expectational Analysisâ , an approach which combines technical and fundamental factors with sentiment. This approach has proven to be a good monitor of market behavior and can be a useful tool for investors interested in taking advantage of trading opportunities in the stock and options markets." "We have seen that, over the past several years, approaches that employ sentiment as a key element have become far more accepted and used by investors," added Schaeffer. He explained that sentiment indicators can range from simple "anecdotal" measures such as media coverage and Wall Street analysts' opinions to more sophisticated quantitative tools such as put/call ratios of options. Schaeffer's website – www.schaeffersresearch.com – explains this investment approach more fully. Timer Digest monitors more than 100 market timers. Its Annual Report announces the top10 timers in various time periods for stocks and the top five for bonds and gold.
