Hundreds of investors had that information for 2000 - and were clearly warned ahead of all others on Wall Street that a bear market was coming. We have received untold thank from investors who protected themselves. Do you recall the title to the 2000 Annual Forecast Model Report? It read: "It Looks Like An Honest To Goodness Bear Market-But A Rally Comes First". This report was published on February 1, 2000. Go back and look at your chart of the Nasdaq and Dow Industrials. Who else made this spectacular forecast? No one we know. That's why your come to VRTrader.com, because you are getting some of the best, if not the best, research available anywhere.

How would your current portfolio have performed if you knew we were entering a bear market?
Subscribers to Mark Leibovit's Annual Forecast Model (AFM) knew. Now you can too. Let's look at recent years performance for the Dow Jones Industrials Annual Forecast Model:
What about 2001?
The Annual Forecast Model correctly predicted a low the end of the March to be followed by a sizeable Spring rally. Subscribers handsomely benefited by that forecast. The Annual Forecast Model then said to be looking for a top and sell-off into late August. As we all know, the tragic events of September 11 stretched out that event to September 21, but, uncannily, the Annual Forecast Model predicted we would experience a positive October (remember, it was published in February) and a year-end rally!
What about 2002?
The AFM correctly called for a market peak in March. The AFM's major call for 2002 was for a significant decline between the March high and a July low. The forecasted low date was July 10 and, as you now, a big low as posted on July 24! Unbelievable but true! Seven months in advance the AFM picks a low point ten days from where it actually occurred!
What about 2003?
The AFM for stocks called for a market low in March and rally into Summer catching a portion of that year's advance. The AFM for the XAU Gold and Silver Index remained steadfastly bullish for 2003 and it was a home run for those who followed it and owned gold shares.
What about 2004?
The AFM correctly called many 'Cycle Change Points' during the year. The big story was the spectacular bearish call for the XAU AFM correctly calling for a top in January and signaling to sell gold stocks way ahead of the washout that lay ahead.
What about 2005?
The AFM called for a choppy to down year in 2005 with tradeable bottoms due in April and October. Though the market managed to close positive, the AFM correctly anticipated the choppiness and provided investors two good long entry points during the year.
What about 2006?
2006 was spectacular! When you overlay the actual results versus the Annual Forecast, it is nearly a perfect fit. How can that be? Does Mark Leibovit have a crystal ball?
What about 2007?
You can hardly get better than this year's forecast. The AFM pinpointed the mid-March low, the June/July high and precisely the mid-August low months in advance!
This is your opportunity to view the AFM forecasts for 2008 not only for the Dow Industrials, but for Gold, US Treasuries, the US Dollar Index and Crude Oil. Just imagine how a road map to the stock market's future performance would help your investment strategy!
Over the past twenty plus years this Annual Forecast Model has provided Wall Street industry professionals with an accurate blueprint of the Dow Jones Industrials major swing pattern during the course of the year months in advance. It is easy to see why smart industry professionals were positioned to profit.
