Dear Reader, What’s the one thing that keeps you ahead of the power curve in terms of growing investment wealth? Almost any analyst can offer a decent set of portfolio recommendations based on what markets will do in the future. The hard part is getting the forecast right. If you can consistently get the forecast right, then allocations are straightforward. If you can’t do the forecasting properly — either because you have flawed models or are just guessing — then your portfolio allocations may be dangerously out of step. And you’ll be set up for large losses. Forecasting doesn’t involve a crystal ball. There isn’t one when it comes to markets.

The critical skills are knowing where to look for signals of future developments and how to look in terms of predictive analytic models. It’s not a matter of predicting the future.
