One particularly good plan has proven its mettle during the past 46 years to signal investors when to be in the market and when to sidestep it. The technical indicator used in this proven plan helps to protect investment gains and reduce the risk of large losses. As of July 19, 21 of the 27 current [Successful Investing]( recommendations in its three portfolios, Income, Growth and Tactical Trends, are profitable. Many of them are up by double-digit percentages. Multinational technology company Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), of Santa Clara, California, is the undisputed standout by soaring 205.15% since its recommendation in [Successful Investing](. Chart courtesy of [www.stockcharts.com]( Seven Strategies to Achieve Successful Investing: 1. Seek Dividends One of the seven strategies to achieve successful investing is to seek dividends. Companies that pay dividends need to be wise about spending money to ensure the cash required to reward their loyal investors is available. One of the newest additions to the [Successful Investing]( newsletter led by Jim Woods is the Income Multipliers portfolio. Until recently, that portfolio had been part of a different newsletter that now is a new feature in [Successful Investing](. The Income Multipliers consists of 20 stocks split between 12 industries. The industries are Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financial, Healthcare, Industrial, Information Technology, Materials, Real Estate, Telecommunication Services and Special Situations. Each stock currently is listed as a buy and all pay dividends. The highest dividend yield of 5% is paid by Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ), while the lowest dividend yield among the 20 recommended positions is 0.77% by Zimmer Biomet (NYSE: ZBH). Seven Strategies to Achieve Successful Investing: 2. Use a Good Plan The second of the seven strategies to achieve [successful investing]( requires having a good plan and sticking to it, said Jim Woods, who heads the investment newsletter of the same name. As a featured presenter at the Global Financial Summit at last week’s FreedomFest conference in Las Vegas, Wood recommended that investors ask themselves the following questions. - What’s your plan? - What’s your plan to get into the market? - What’s your plan to get out of the market? - Do you just buy randomly? - Do you sell randomly out of fear? "We don’t do any of these things, because we have a proven plan," Woods said. Jim Woods leads the [Successful Investing]( newsletter. [Here’s Why Green Energy Is CRASHING]( It’s not just because the wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t always shine. It’s because Republicans AND Democrats are now turning to a new, alternative energy source that can power America with efficient, 100% clean energy for decades.[See the full story here.]( [Click Here...]( Seven Strategies to Achieve Successful Investing: 3. Proven Plan Patterns The third of the seven strategies to achieve [successful investing]( is to follow a proven plan like the one he uses. The plan that Woods recommends is the [Successful Investing]( newsletter’s trend-following strategy. Not only does the plan’s track record span more than 46 years, but it clearly signals when investors should be in the market, as well as out of it. By following a specific timeline with a specialized measurement tool, investors can be guided in how to navigate the market’s vagaries. Seven Strategies to Achieve Successful Investing: 4. 40-Plus Years of ‘Genius’ The fourth strategy to invest successfully is to use a proven plan that has maneuvered within the markets well enough to conjure up thoughts of tapping the expertise of a “genius.” That genius, Woods said, began with Dick Fabian, founder of the [Successful Investing]( newsletter. Dick Fabian identified the market-following strategy and used it effectively before turning the newsletter over to his son Doug Fabian, who ultimately handed the reins to Jim Woods.   The [Successful Investing]( Plan Signaled These Prescient Moves: - October 15, 1987, Pre-Black Monday Sell - January 1995 Bull Market Buy - April 2000 Sell - January 2008 Great Recession Sell - March 2009 Buy - February 28, 2020, Sell - June 2, 2020, Buy - January 21, 2022, Sell - December 2, 2022, Buy - October 25, 2023, Sell - November 15, 2023, Buy Seven Strategies to Achieve Successful Investing: 5. Track the DFC The Domestic Fund Composite (DFC) is used to provide a current snapshot of U.S. stock markets. To do so, the following funds are tracked to determine the direction of those markets. - iShares Select Dividend ETF (DVY) - iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR) - iShares Core S&P US Value (IUSV) - iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF) - SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) “The five funds that comprise the Domestic Fund Composite (DFC) represent a much better, and more accurate, measurement tool than merely using the S&P 500 or Dow,” Woods said. “By incorporating small caps, value, growth and dividend stocks, we are able to better assess the movement of the markets in relation to their key, long-term moving averages."

The Key is Moving Averages Woods, a music lover, uses the word key not only to explain its vital role in the market-trend signal plan he champions, but as an indicator of the right note to keep the market in perfect pitch. Woods elaborated accordingly: - What key are we in? DFC: 39-Week Moving Average - The Key of “Buy” or “Sell” - The Key is to Listen to the Charts… - We are in the key of “BUY” in domestic stocks when the DFC is trending ABOVE its 39-week moving average. - We are in the key of “SELL” in domestic stocks when the DFC is trending BELOW its 39-week moving average. - It is when the DFC is below this key moving average that you know it is time to sell. Seven Strategies to Achieve Successful Investing: 7. Successful Investing Portfolios Current favorite recommendations touted by Woods in his [Successful Investing]( portfolios are: Income Portfolio: iShares Core High Dividend ETF (HDV), +15.08% VanEck BDC Income ETF (BIZD), +6.59% SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), +25.27% iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF (FLOT), +4.99% Growth Portfolio: Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), +28.60% Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), +25.50% Vanguard Total Intl Stock Index Fund ETF Shares (VXUS), +11.07% iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR), +20.55% Tactical Trends Portfolio: VanEck Pharmaceutical ETF (PPH), +51.63% Global X US Infrastructure ETF (PAVE), +49.98% Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLC), +22.09% CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (CRWD), +49.11% NVIDIA Corp, (NVDA), +205.15% CrowdStrike's shares fell 11.1% on Friday, July 19, after the company attempted a software update that caused what may have been the [biggest information technology (IT) outage]( in history. The fallout affected major airlines and caused the cancellation of flights, broadcasting stations and many other businesses that use the Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows operating system. Chart courtesy of [www.stockcharts.com]( Woods told me he viewed the CrowdStrike's double-digit-percentage drop as a "buy the news" signal. Goldman Sachs also reiterated its "buy" recommendation on the stock and wrote in a research note that the IT problem would not trigger a "material" impairment in the stock. To simplify using the [Successful Investing]( plan, Woods provided the following cheat sheet for investors to follow. Successful Investing ‘Cheat Sheet’ - Be IN the market when the trend is bullish - Be OUT of the market when the trend is bearish - Track the market with a more complete tool - Use the Domestic Fund Composite - Think Musically - Know the “Key” of the markets (Bull or Bear) - Follow the 39-week moving average - Follow the Growth, Income and Aggressive/Tactical Trends Portfolio recommendations - Rely on Woods to track the trend each week in his [Successful Investing]( hotline. - Follow the Plan’s Buy and Sell Signals Seven Strategies to Achieve Successful Investing: Skousen’s Forecast Mark Skousen, PhD, who heads the [Forecasts & Strategies]( investment newsletter, served as chairman of FreedomFest and offered his own outlook about the market. He predicted that bitcoin investments could “skyrocket.” Skousen also asserted that the technology sector is still a “very exciting area,” especially in artificial intelligence (AI). In addition, Skousen said he generally favors the stock market. Specifically, Skousen spoke of a bright landscape for mining stocks. He singled out uranium as a “long-term” play, and also praised the prospects for copper. The “best-performing commodity” right now is gold, Skousen said.

Geopolitical Risk Includes Assassination Attempt Against Former President Trump Geopolitical risk rose with an assassination attempt on Saturday, July 13, against former U.S. President Donald Trump, who was shot in the right ear by a gunman during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. The shooter killed one attendee who dove to cover his wife and daughters. A bullet from the would-be assassin struck the head of Corey Comperatore, 50, a former volunteer fire chief, who died heroically protecting his family. Two other attendees were seriously wounded. A Secret Service agent shot the gunman in the head from another rooftop and killed him. Former President Trump showed resilience by appearing two days later on Monday, July 15, at the Republican National Convention with a bandage covering his right ear. Trump returned to give a 92-minute speech on Thursday, July 18, to accept his nomination as the Republican Party's presidential candidate. Sen. J.D, Vance, R-Ohio, accepted an offer from President Trump to run on the same ticket as the vice-presidential candidate. Sen. Vance, once a critic of President Trump, subsequently became a staunch supporter. Both have criticized U.S. government funding to help Ukraine defend itself against the invasion of its sovereign territory by Russia, contrary to President Biden's steadfast support for the American ally. Former President Trump also took a call of congratulations on becoming the Republican Party's nominee from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, July 19. Trump described it as a "very good phone call." Zelensky condemned the "shocking assassination" attempt against Trump. Trump has expressed confidence that he will be able to bring peace to the world and end the war in Ukraine that has "cost so many lives" and devastated innocent families.
