SECTOR ROTATION
A look at this model will always keep you in the right SECTOR. This is a more diversified approach to Sector Investing. It is also for an investor that would like to participate in Sector trading without having to figure out where to put all their money. This strategy invests in up to 6 different markets. They are Consumer, Cyclical, Health, Interest Sensitive, Technology and Natural funds. By spreading your money in 20% increments in the top 5 offers more diversification in case one of the sectors do not perform well. In the same token, there is a possibility that a portion of this portfolio could be in cash. You could have 20% in Technology and 20% in Health and the remainder in cash depending on the visual trends. Those who want to place money in a single or double sector could invest either 100% in the top sector or 50% each in the top two.

CUP & HANDLE PATTERNS
The following stocks have formed the cup-and-handle pattern popularized by William O'Neil. Over the past several weeks to several months these stocks have sold off, bottomed, risen back to the levels of the original sell off (the "cup"), and then retraced again slightly (the "handle"). This formation can often precede a stock rally. Although O'Neil's original work involved weekly charts, we have found that cup-and-handle patterns on daily charts also are effective and provide more frequent opportunities for active traders. The following list is based on daily bar charts. Special note: The cup and handle formation is a discretionary pattern with very loose rules. The following list is at best subjective and may or may not satisfy your personal criteria for the pattern. Also, please be aware that some of these stocks may be longer-term, "big picture" cup-and-handle patterns. t Reminder: We are in no way recommending the purchase or short sale of these stocks.

FTRACK TOP REL STRENGTH/EARNINGS NEW HIGH LIST
These stocks have made new highs and also are ranked in the top 15%-20% of both relative strength (RS) and earnings (ER) from the Fasttrack database. Such stocks usually have the best fundamental and technical prospects to move significantly higher. The list also enables you to stay on top of every consolidation breakout by strong earnings and relative strength stocks, as well as identify "runaway" up market super-strong technical criteria that offer excellent shorter-term trading opportunities. These stocks are prime candidates for buying strategies, including shorter-term strategies with intraday sized risk. These trades offer the opportunity to hold at least part of the position (if they move quickly and strongly in your favor) for a much longer period, often creating highly favorable risk/reward ratios. On final note: The number of new highs will almost always decrease fairly markedly before an intermediate-term market peak, while the number of new lows will almost always increase. Similarly, the number of new lows will almost always decrease markedly prior to an intermediate-term bottom, while the number of new highs will increase.

BEASLEY'S HEADSUP PROGRAM
This program gives a heads-up on the health of the market. If all the indicators are favorable, you would want to be fully invested in aggressive funds. On the other hand, if most or all of the indicators are negative and in a downtrend, you're playing with fire if you're still in the market. Cash is king while bear funds are having their day in the sun. There are about twice as many indicators as the previous Heads-up Version. The format has been tightened to improve readability. A glimpse at the current NYSE/OTC new lows, additional high-tech trends, Bear Market trend and relative strength of the major indexes have been added. The buy-sell rules feature Beasley's combined Stochastics/RSI indicator. You add a fund's Stochastic and RSI and divide by two. You don't buy unless the results are over 50. If it falls below 50, you sell it. On all purchase considerations, the RSI is a 21/13 Stochastics combined with the 14-period RSI, because we want to buy as quickly as possible when a market turns up from a bottom. However, during a negative environment, the Stochastics remain 21/13 at all times, to facilitate getting out. During a favorable environment, when risk is lower and we want to let our winners ride, a 34/21 Stochastic is used, to keep us in the market longer.
