Description of When The Dow Breaks

Market-Hedging Strategies that Turn Paper Losses into Real Profits!

Even the healthiest stock markets occasionally suffer sharp down-turns. When the Dow Breaks contains realistic, proven techniques and for building tremendous wealth in the stock market by protecting that wealth against stock market dips. This eye-opening book throws off the rose-colored glasses to tell you what to do before the market drops.

Respected veteran market analyst Donald L. Cassidy details how you can become a disciplined, rational investor, discovering the best times to buy and sell through your own research instead of secondhand rumors and hot tips. This timely guide will show you:

How to identify accurate signs that a downturn is imminent - for either markets or individual stocks

Value tests to identify and correct vulnerable points in your portfolio

Professional asset allocation techniques for different stages in your life

Strategies to manage your tax bite while maintaining a low-risk/high-return asset mix

Over your lifetime, sticking to the long-debated 'Buy and Hold' strategy is likely to net you average or below-average returns. Are you willing to settle for that? When the Dow Breaks shows you not only how to identify market tops (protecting your stocks against significant losses) but also how to identify market bottoms (buying back in near the best possible price). This eye-opening book will make you a seasoned, sophisticated investor - and provide valuable insights to increase your stock market returns.
