The old Indicant model detected the stock
market crash of 1929 before it happened. However, that older model had
more signals. Even though it detected the crashes of 1929 and 1987, the
latter of which produced 600% profits for the publisher of the Indicant in
Oct 1987. Despite that, though, the newer model provides more
opportunities for profits, as opposed to triple digit profits every
sixty-years. Most of us only get to enjoy about forty-years of investing
exuberance.
Despite the crash of 1929, the stock market
enjoyed a rather long bull cycle from bull signal #02 through the nasty
bear signal #03. That amounted to a
90.7%
gain despite the horrific crash in Oct 1929.
The Indicant
enjoyed a 204.3% advantage over buy and hold at the time of bear signal
#03.
Even though bear signal #03 was a bit late
relative to the crash of 1929, most would accept a 204.3% gain over a
three-year period and thus another justification for adopting the newer
model.
