SYNOPSIS
Join me in wishing the Bull Market a Happy Birthday!
Five years ago (March 9) the stock market, reeling from the financial crisis, hit bottom. The Dow closed at just under 6,500 and the S&P 500 ended at 676.5. Since March 9, 2009, the Dow and the S&P 500 have more than doubled.

This week’s edition is oriented to newer subscribers, but it can’t hurt to refresh the memories of those of you who have followed us for years, if not decades.
The hurdle we have with newer readers is that we are not like any other conventional investment newsletter, so it takes a while to get used to our style. We don’t offer specific stock recommendations. We don’t set price targets or otherwise make predictions for major market indexes. We ignore the business media as much as we can (with a few exceptions); and we take a systematic approach to eliminating the biggest mistakes that investors make.
Most of all, we encourage and try to facilitate a truly self-directed approach to making large profits in the markets. Few investors ever do well by copying someone else, or blindly buying recommended stocks. Those that get ahead develop and follow a system that they’re comfortable with. We help you get there, even if we’ll never know exactly what you’re doing. That’s your business, not ours.
One of the editions of TrendWatch Weekly that has resonated with a lot of readers is one that was published in October, 2010. It explains our general distain for the business media and Biz TV in particular. And, at the same time, it explains our overall approach to investing in colloquial terms that even a business journalist should understand. Unfortunately, they don’t. I think that you’ll enjoy this fun “pseudo-interview”. It’ll also help you put everything we do in perspective.
Seasonality… We were expecting Brooke Thackray’s monthly seasonality videos this past week, but they’ve apparently been delayed. All the same, we provide some calendar-related expectations that you can normally find in March.
State Street Investor Confidence Index… The latest data for February are included. After the huge jump in “smart money” investing in stocks in January, there was more follow-through around the globe in February. Apparently, those managing multi-billion dollar accounts ignore the media as much as we do!
