Why Buy and Hold? We've had some major disappointments in some major, previously stable issues. Remember it's not a Profit until you sell.

Buy and Hold has become an illness like QE 1, 2 and 3. In this atmosphere it's important to keep a positive cash flow working to beat the Growing appetite of DC and in my case Lansing.

I've been following Kirk's advice for 4 Years now and it's quite enjoyable once you learn to take some profits along the way. There is no trend in markets that is a straight line up or down and while Market Timing is virtually impossible taking profits and reinvesting those profits on dips has been very productive for me. In flat markets there is also a time for Dollar Cost Averaging. I'm retired and adjust my investing to a much more conservative strategy than recommended by Kirk's Newsletter while incorporating the parts that fit. The Monthly News and Charts on the recommended Equities is extremely helpful. I've done quite well in a shaky economic atmosphere. I like that Kirk doesn't just report the rosy good trades in his Newsletter. Every position and resolution is listed good or bad and the good far outweigh everything else. His Strategies can be adjusted to any level of Risk Tolerance you might have. The TIPS recommendation has been an especially nice surprise.

"I've subscribed to Kirk for many years and have been satisfied. I call Kirk a swing trader. In the simplistic, he buys some of a stock when it is below the buy target point, sells some when it reaches the targeted sell point. Then he waits for that stock to cycle itself again at some future date. The methodology is mechanical and the targets are published. The actions are not done on a whim.

At one time I followed Bob (Brinker), but that was before I saw him for what he truely is."

• Steve Thompson, one of my first subscribers who will vouch for me via email if you wish:
  "If my better than average returns continue I’ll be able to retire at a higher standard of living and sooner than I originally thought. Kirk’s newsletter for me has been a true life changing event."
  
  
• David Gratson, a long-time subscriber who vouches for me on LinkedIn:
  "Kirk's understanding of investing, and in particular the technology of which he recommends, is excellent. He understands how the small investor needs to be wary of headline information, and he does his homework to value companies and decide when to buy or sell. I have also learned a lot about fixed income (bonds etc) investing from Kirk's newsletter, and that understanding is particularly important as I age. I think you would find Kirk's newsletter a great complement to your investment process and I highly recommend subscribing to his newsletter.”
