Market Timing: Get Ready
Time to get your shopping list ready and be prepared to buy stocks when it’s safe to buy.
“Is the GET READY Signal Always Right?”
Why this yellow-light moment matters, and how it prepares you to act with confidence.
Remember the Goal
You decided to implement the Successful Investing System™ because you wanted:
A clear signal for when to buy
A step-by-step method for growing your portfolio
A way to invest without emotion, rules instead of guesswork
A system that has historically delivered ~15% annual growth
A path to consistent, long-term growth, systems using our timing signals, stock selection criteria and stop-loss rules averaged 15% annually, enough to double your portfolio every five years
Even though past results don’t guarantee future gains, they give us confidence in the strength of our approach.
The Get Ready signal is part of that plan.
It’s not a green light to buy. It’s a yellow light that tells you: the market may be shifting, time to get into position.
The Honest Answer: Preparation, Not Prediction
Does Get Ready always lead to a rally? No.
But does it give you a valuable early warning so you’re ready when conditions turn? Absolutely.
This signal doesn’t mean “buy now.”
It means: the tide could be changing, start preparing.
Why It Matters
When markets move from a downtrend into a new uptrend, the first Safe to Buy signals often lead to:
The strongest upside moves
Cleaner, higher-quality trades
Trends that last longer
But if you’re unprepared, scrambling to choose stocks or getting in late, you miss those opportunities.
That’s why Get Ready exists: to help you prepare, not react.
The Data: Why It Works
Across 15+ years of testing, we’ve found that:
Many of the best trades start right after Get Ready turns into Safe to Buy
Combining Market Timing with stock selection and stop-loss rules has produced ~15% average annual returns
That’s the foundation of the Double Every 5 Years Portfolio
Not every yellow light leads to an immediate rally. But consistently, it puts you closer to the right side of the trade, and further from costly mistakes.
What to Do When You See Get Ready
Run your searches and create a Watchlist of top-ranked stocks
Identify the strongest candidates from your Watchlist
Be prepared to act when the signal turns green
The advantage isn’t just in spotting the signal. It’s in being ready when it counts.
Bottom Line
Does Get Ready always precede a rally? No.
Is it often the first sign of a bigger shift? Yes.
More importantly, it gives you the structure and preparation you need so that when Safe to Buy appears, you can act with confidence.
That’s what this system is designed for.
Stay sharp. Stay ready.
The green light may be coming, and now, you’ll be ready to move.
