Strategic Investment Timing

First published in 1984, "Strategic Investment Timing in the '90s" has been completely revised and expanded to show how investors can use changes in the economic cycle to enhance profits in the stock, bond, metals and futures markets. In this text, Stoken shares with readers his hard-won knowledge: that the direction of the economy can be determined by following four simple, accessible and fundamental indicators - the Dow Jones Industrial Average - the rate of inflation - short and long-term interest rates - and the four year presidential election cycle. Once the indicators have been identified and clearly analysed, Stoken offers specific advice on how to adjust portfolios and investment choices on what they show. Some of the topics covered are: the investment climate - inflationary spirals - buying zones - putting the investment cycle together - beating the Dow - deflation - when to buy and sell bonds - predicting presidential elections - the way the economy works - and a glimpse of the future.
