Taming the Bear

If you invest in stocks, either directly or through mutual funds, you know that profits come fairly steadily during a bull market. In a bear market, however, it's a different story. Even over a short period of time, a bear market can wipe out most of the long-term returns you've earned over the years. Thomas D. Saler offers a simple solution to this dilemma - an accessible system that allows you to equal, or sometimes improve, overall market returns when the bull is running and to beat market returns when the bear is on the prowl. Through Saler's step-by-step guidance you will learn why the stock market is usually the best place to invest, why a bear market is always inevitable, popular ways to time the market and why they are not reliable, how to use a quick-and-easy formula to determine whether you should be in the market, the golden rules of investing and the 10 mutual funds that work best in a bear-market avoidance strategy. Also included is an in-depth discussion on the best way to save money on mutual funds. Thomas D. Saler is a nationally-respected authority on investments and personal finance. He is president of Saler Asset Management in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and editor of Historical Perspectives, an advisory market newsletter.Saler, Thomas D. is the author of 'Taming the Bear' with ISBN 9781564403681 and ISBN 1564403688.
