By Brad Lamensdorf, Contributor Welcome to the Lamensdorf Market Timing Report. Our mission is to help you make money over the long term with advice on how to properly allocate capital into the market, reflecting both the risks and rewards that are currently present. Brad Lamensdorf, a veteran market timer and chief investment officer for the newsletter, points out that many investors lose money because they fail to think about how or when they are deploying capital, merely moving their exposure around based on emotions. At the Lamensdorf Market Timing Report, we monitor some of the most savvy independent research firms in order to give you the best chance to repeatedly make good investment decisions. Investors can improve risk adjusted performance by assessing the environment of the stock market using a variety of technical, fundamental and sentiment-oriented tools from powerful independent research firms. In Brad’s experience, following a systematic process is the only way to approach investing and make money over the long term. He has been utilizing many of these indicators for decades. He used them when working for the Bass brothers and deployed them in his long/short hedge fund, Brad continues to use them in his role as co-portfolio manager of the Ranger Equity Bear ETF (HDGE). This systematic process will be firmly implanted in the Lamensdorf Market Timing Report. Brad is a frequent commentator on major business networks including CNBC, and Business News. In his role as as co-portfolio-manager of the short-only actively managed Ranger Equity Bear ETF, he identifies short and intermediate-term market trends to manage exposure and mitigate risk.
