Now is the time to buy safe stocks rising in price
“Is the SAFE TO BUY Signal Always Right?”
What to expect from your green light, and why it works even if it’s not perfect.
Remember the Goal
The Successful Investing System™ is built to give you:
A clear signal for when to buy
A precise plan for when to sell
Rules to manage risk and protect profits
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.
At the center of that approach is the Safe to Buy signal, the green light that says conditions are favorable.
But it’s natural to ask:
“What if I get the signal and the market still drops?”
“Is this always right?”
Let’s answer that honestly.
The Honest Answer: No Signal Is Perfect
No system can predict the market with 100% accuracy.
Sometimes rallies lose steam.
Sometimes news events disrupt a trend.
Sometimes trades just don’t work out.
That’s part of investing. The key isn’t perfection, it’s consistency. And the Safe to Buy signal is consistent.
Why Consistency Wins
Over the past 15 years, following the Safe to Buy signal, together with VectorVest’s stock ranking and stop-loss rules, has delivered:
15% average annual returns, enough to double a portfolio every five years.
Smaller drawdowns than buy-and-hold
More discipline and fewer emotional mistakes
Real portfolio growth that compounds over time
Not every signal leads to an immediate win. But staying disciplined and following the system has proven to work far better than guessing.
What You’re Really Using
The signal isn’t about chasing quick trades. It’s about following a complete plan that provides:
Growth with structure and discipline
Protection against emotional decision-making
Confidence from a proven, rules-based system
When you wait for the green light, you’re stacking the odds in your favor. That’s not luck, it’s an edge.
Bottom Line
Is the Safe to Buy signal always right? No.
Is it right more often than not? Yes.
And when you stick with it, does it deliver results over time? Absolutely.
It’s not about nailing the exact bottom. It’s about following a system that gives you the best chance of success, over and over again.
Trust the process. Use the tools. Stay disciplined.
