December 9th, 2003 Stock Market 2004: Trendfund.com Forecasts What's in Store Dear Colleague - No one can predict what the stock market has in store for 2004. But Michael Parness, the president and founder of Trendfund.com http://www.trendfund.com, the leading online trend-based advisory for the individual trader, has made a pretty good living at forecasting how the market's going to behave. Now, he can share his knowledge with your audience in a special year-end wrap-up and trend forecast. Michael makes a great guest. Author of the cult investing guide Rule the Freakin' Markets! (St. Martin's Press), he's outspoken, in-your-face, and funny. Among Michael Parness' market predictions, from Trendfund.com: 1. Watch for "The January Effect" - Expect to see cap stocks rally into the year-end and early January as tax loss selling declines. 2. The Election Year Rally Pumps Up the Markets - It's highly likely the market will go up in 2004 - an election year. The election year bump has surfaced 90% of the time in the history of the markets. With this year's presidential race heating up, the markets are sure to come out on top. 3. Day Trading Makes a Comeback - Day-trading, once dismissed as a phenomenon of the '90s boom, will make a comeback. With the economy still very tentative, consumers will keep struggling for work -- and many will return to day-trading, where they can work for themselves to make a living. 4. Investors Seek Safety in Transparency - With the mutual fund scandals of 2003 still fresh in their minds, cautious investors will begin looking for transparent alternatives. A Free Fund System, one that opens the books and give investors more access to information, will be one of the new choices available in 2004. Trendfund.com has produced amazing results for its 40,000 subscribers. In Spring 2003, Michael was one of the few to predict that this year's DOW would drop to 7425 and that NASDAQ would break 2000. With an international subscriber base from homemakers to Wall Street analysts to Hollywood stars, Trendfund.com gives individual investors an edge even professionals don't have. We look forward to talking with you about Michael Parness.
