Bastard lawnmower!

My ‘new’ lawnmower would not start today. I bought it on eBay a couple of weeks ago. ‘Starts well’ was the highlight of the advert, so I placed my bid…. and won! It seems that the spark plug was loose, so there was a lack of compression in the cylinder creating the starting problem…. according to my son! Getting started can be a problem for investors too. We want to know what is best to invest in, and so we agonise over the fine detail, and don’t do anything. The approach that I am using assumes that I do not know what the future holds for any of the asset classes (shares, property, gold, commodities and bonds).

I buy an asset class when it is rising, and exit the asset class when it falls beyond a certain point. Conceptually simple, but it can be difficult to follow the rules, even when the rules are simple, because of the emotions of fear and greed.

This week I have a signal to buy one of the asset classes. Which one is it? You’ll have to watch the video to find out![embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJUMaRy4M64[/embedyt]

Having a simple trading system has enabled me to participate in investing in a variety of different asset classes. I don’t attempt to predict which asset classes are going to do best in the future, I simply follow the trend in each asset class. It makes it easy for me to get started!

I’ll be making my investment on Tuesday, because of the Bank Holiday. I hope you enjoy the extra day off!
