Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Timer Digest ended publication in early 2021:
I made their cover twice over the roughly 11 years they covered me.



The company II-VI bought Finisar, then Coherent. After buying Coherent, it took the "less scientific" Coherent name, but the management was from II-VI which had just successfully integrated the Finisar acquisition. I used the similar weakness in the stock after announcing the acquisition to load up on more shares (mostly in my ROTH) which have done quite well for me as well as my newsletter subscribers.

I'd say my favorite trading books to help on my Recommended Reading Listare:
  1. Contrarian Investment Strategies: The Psychological Edge
    Shows analysts really don't have a clue so I track what they are saying in my newsletter and often look for major changes in their direction for clues.

  2. T echnical Analysis of Stock Trends
    Edwards and Magee is considered one of the bibles of technical analysis. I use it often to help me pick buy and sell targets for stock in my newsletter "explore portfolio."
