Sure-Fired Success “Some people succeed because they are destined to, but most
people succeed because they are determined to.” ~Author Unknown
Recovery from the bear market of 2008 hasn’t been easy for investors. The easy‐money vanished by the
end of 2009 and the successive rise to where we are now has been plagued with volatility generated by
the fear and uncertainty of global economic conditions. These conditions have caused the ‘Buy and
Hold’ investment mentality to erode almost as swiftly as the portfolios that still attempt to follow this
concept. In its place, a new method of investing is sweeping the investment community – a method that
includes using the market’s momentum, cashing‐in profits quicker and buying stocks that have the
ability to deliver substantial profits at the lowest possible risk factor.
As you might imagine, the time, effort and skill involved in trading this way can vary widely and the right
tools make a critical difference to the results. VectorVest not only provides the right tools but has
created a system so simple and clear that even a beginner can achieve extraordinary investment success
in the stock market and it takes just 10 minutes a day or less.
“…VECTORVEST TRACKS THE MARKET’S DIRECTION SO PRECISELY
YOU KNOW THE MOMENT THE TREND IS CHANGING”
WHENTOBUYIt all begins with market timing. Market direction is the single most important factor to influence an
investor’s success, investing without it is like driving down the highway blind‐folded…on a motorcycle.
VectorVest tracks the market’s direction so precisely you know the moment the trend is changing. This
information provides the key to buying stocks at just the right time and selling them quickly before
profits become nothing but a memory.
VectorVest’s Color Guard is ideal for accomplishing this
task. This timing system tracks the market’s price
movement on a week‐over‐week as well as a day‐over‐day
basis and conveys the information with vivid red, green
and yellow lights ‐ essentially providing a traffic light for
investors. The time frame ensures that changes to the
market’s trend are detected lightning fast while the
mechanical tracking completely removes the emotional
turmoil from trying to guess which way the market is

heading next. Investors simply buy stocks when the ‘light’ is green and only when the light is green. This
process of timing the market uses the market’s own momentum to lower the risk that comes with
buying stocks, dramatically increasing your odds of success.
“BUY COMPANIES WITH SOLID FUNDAMENTALS TO THIS BARGAIN PRICE
AND PROFITS ARE VIRTUALLY CERTAIN TO FOLLOW.”
WHATTOBUYAlmost everyone enjoys getting a bargain – the sense of excitement and accomplishment that comes
from getting the most bang for your hard‐earned buck is addictive. It’s also a great way to lower‐risk in
the stock market. Logically, the better price you get for a stock, the greater the odds that it’ll be worth
more in the future. Add buying companies with solid fundamentals to this bargain price and profits are
virtually certain to follow. The art of finding such companies at the lowest possible price is most
commonly known as bottom‐fishing.
You may think that bottom‐fishing is as simple as going out and buying stocks that are hitting new lows.
But nothing could be further from the truth. Frequently, stocks that are on their way down keep going
down. Then there’s always the argument that ‘you get what you pay for’. So how do you distinguish
between the real deals and the costly imitations?
You need to know the fundamentals behind the company you’re investing in. You can do this by
analyzing the company’s earnings, growth rate, debt‐to‐equity ratio, sales volume and the many other
factors that ultimately impact the bottom‐line. Or you could just let the VectorVest software do it for
you.
VectorVest realizes how important the fundamentals are to successful investing. Specialized indicators
incorporate all the essential factors that determine what a stock is worth and how safe it is. Timing also
has its own indicator in VectorVest that instantly assesses every aspect of a stock’s short‐term price
trend. Behind each indicator is a sophisticated algorithm that eliminates not only the guesswork and
laborious research, but also eliminates the emotion that so often leads to costly investment mistakes.
Each indicator is scaled from 0.00 to 2.00, Values above 1.00 are favorable and values below 1.00 are
unfavorable. While this simple scaling is invaluable for quickly analyzing any stock, finding just the right
combination for the best ‘bottom‐fishing’ candidate might still feel like searching for a needle in a hay
stack. Investors looking to solve this problem can use VectorVest’s search capabilities to quickly find the
right stocks at the right time.
“FIND THE RIGHT STOCKS WITH JUST A CLICK OF YOUR MOUSE”
Eighteen powerful bottom‐fishing scans use the VectorVest indicators to instantly identify the best
bottom‐fishing candidates to buy when a green light is signaled. You can literally find the right stocks
with just a click of your mouse. Simply choose any of the proprietary built‐in strategies and click ‘Run’.

Your stock selections will appear in seconds, ranked so the stocks with the highest bottom‐fishing
potential are at the top. We’ve seen these finds go up 50%, 70%...even 200% in record time.
Stocks like:
ALIM found with Bottoms Up on Jan 3 2012

months
These are just a few of the huge winners
discovered by combining the timing of the
Color Guard with the unique power of
VectorVest’s Bottom‐Fishing Scans.
WHENTOSELLA Trading System wouldn’t be complete without knowing when to sell. Every investor should employ
sensible stop‐losses to limit risk. The good news is that during our extensive testing of this system, we
found that just about any reasonable stop‐loss performed well. The best results were achieved with a
simple gain/loss stop, i.e. a 20% Gain or a 10% Loss from your purchase price.
In addition to selling stocks when your stop‐loss is met, investors should also consider closing all
positions when VectorVest has issued a Confirmed Market Down Call. This signal sounds the alarm when
there are signs that the market may be going into an extended down turn thereby helping to preserve
profits as close to the top as possible. You’ll find this information conveniently located in the same
window as the Color Guard in the ‘Call’ column. (Investors can consider buying stocks again as soon as
the next green light appears.)

USING THIS SYSTEM”

TESTEDANDPROVENRESULTSThe name “Sure‐Fired Success” might provide a catchy ad slogan but it was actually chosen because
more than 800 portfolio backtests conducted over the last three years showed a success rate so high, it
was clear, investors are virtually guaranteed to make money using this system.
These testing results recognized that not everyone is able to jump into the market at the beginning of a
trend. In fact, the majority of investors don’t start buying stocks anywhere near the bottom. For that
reason, no portfolios included in these test results had the advantage of starting at the market bottom
in March 2009. The earliest start date used to create a portfolio didn’t come until July 2009, well after
the initial blast off from the bottom.
Because the Color Guard allows investors to jump in the market any time there’s a green light additional
portfolios were created using a variety of start and end dates encompassing the entire gamut of market
conditions investors have experienced between July 10, 2009 and March 7, 2012 – up trends, down
trends, sideways trends, whipsaws, and both high volatility and low.
Between July 10, 2009 and March 7, 2012 the S&P 500 treated investors to a roller coaster ride of
market conditions that included uptrends, downtrends, sideways trends, high volatility, and low
volatility.

Tested Time Periods:
Portfolio Start Date Portfolio End Date Avg Annualized Rate of Return
November 17, 2011 March 7, 2012 27.62% May 7, 2010 March 14, 2011 25.75% December 3, 2009 May 7, 2010 41.06% August 19, 2009 May 13, 2011 34.26% July 10, 2009 December 3, 2009 47.79% July 10, 2009 March 7, 2012 15.30%
Each of the 18 Bottom‐Fishing Searches were tested over every period listed above using eight different
stop‐losses. Testing this many variations required a total of 864 Portfolios (6 Time Periods X 18 Searches
X 8 Stop‐Losses). Each portfolio was set up to include $9.95 trading commissions and capital was
distributed equally among the stocks purchased. Stocks were sold
when their stop‐loss was met or when a confirmed down call was
issued. New stocks were only purchased when there was a green
light and were selected automatically by rank from the top 10
stocks found by the search being used. The stop‐losses were
evaluated on an end‐of‐day basis and stocks were purchased/sold
at the next day’s open when conditions were met. This end of day
evaluation ensured that even busy working professionals could
successfully use this system.
“801 OUT OF 864 PORTFOLIOS WERE PROFITABLE … THAT IS A
STAGGERING 90% SUCCESS RATE.”
The results were some of the most exciting we’ve seen in our 24 year history – and this was in one of the
toughest market’s investors have ever faced. 801 out of 864 portfolios were profitable … that is a

annualized rate of return was more than 32%, putting investors on pace to double their capital every
two years. And all this was achieved with three simple steps that take less than 10 minutes a day.
