YOUR SPEAKEREric Richter
Sr. Engineering SpecialistProduct and Process Assurance Department
Qualifications: a person who is playing investing catch up and probably has made every mistake he could. Yet he still is on the way to having a
modest retirement account.
LUCKFor many of us, making money in the stock market
seems to depend as much on when we were born and when we started investing as it does
on skill.
WHEN DID YOU START INVESTING?
Dot Com BubbleOf March 2000
Subprime MortgageCrisis of Of 2007-2008
WE DON’T CONTROL OUR BIRTH…But we can control when we invest or not invest
Most likely during our investment years we will experience a significant market downturn
And it is likely we might not recover sufficiently to meet our investment objectives
RATHER THAN BUY AND HOLD OR COUNT ON DIVERSIFICATION…
It might be better to get out of the market or switch to safer
investments when the market is crashing and wait for a better day
to enter the market
PREDICTING A MARKET CRASH?
Is it even possible? Aren’t the markets random?
The S&P 500 pattern shown earlier doesn’t look random.
BUT COULD YOU SEE A ONE DAY DROP?
Dot Com BubbleOf March 2000
Subprime MortgageCrisis of Of 2007-2008
Investors lost almost30% their money in a single day in 1987 and no one sawit coming.
Later we’ll see If there was a warning sign.
Black Monday, October 19, 1987
WHAT CAN YOU DO?Be aware of what the market is doing
each day. Get an app for your smart phone that will give you the
percentage change of the market.
Monitor your accounts at least once a month. Are you making what you
expect?
UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONSHow fast can you react if the market
drops suddenly? If you react too slowly, you will sell low and buy
high. That’s not good
Ask your financial advisers and money managers what they do with your money when signals turn negative

The typical member describes himself as having a moderate level of investment knowledge and engaging primarily in fundamental analysis.
USING SIMPLE MOVING AVERAGES AS INDICATORS
To get simple moving averages, go to www.finance.yahoo.com Enter a stock or ETF like SPY in the quote lookup box and on the chart click on 1y.
GOLDEN CROSS OR DEATH CROSS INDICATORS
The idea is when the fast MA (10 period) goes below the slow MA (40 period) that’s bad (death cross). When the 10 period moves above the 40 period that’s good (golden cross). Some use a 50-100 day moving average but that may be too slow.
THE 75 DAY MOVING AVERAGE IS EVEN SIMPLER
Dot Com warning
Exit on red arrow. Re-enter on green arrow if other indicators support the move. NOTE: This method works best on an index rather than an individual stock
SEVERAL EXITS FOR THE SUBPRIME MORTGAGE CRISIS
It is better to use the equally weighted RSP rather than the SPY. Once out you might have noticed lower lows and lower highs and not re-entered until the crash was over
