I would consider myself as a novice to SmarTrend system as my subscription with you is barely 2 months. Having said that, the stocks that I've been monitoring using (the) SmarTrend system have earned me a year's salary (plus bonuses) but in just 2 months!!!
Simply follow the uptrend indicator (green triangle) to buy and downtrend indicator (red triangle) to sell. It is that easy. Even my 4-year old and 2-year old sons can identify that.

I am a retired CPA. I am an active trader in stocks, and just starting options as a hedge against my long positions.
I have been very happy with my SmarTrend subscription. My favorite thing is the ease of use. I find "Bull Market" to have a confusing website. Yours is simple. I like to research the fundamentals myself and find the kinds of stocks I like (low debt, nice dividend, diversifies my holdings). If I like it I add it to my Watchlist. Then you send me an email when it is time to buy. I don't have to be a chart reader, you do all that for me.
Last year I lost 100K or 20% when the market fell. I don't want to be a sitting duck ever again. I want to hedge my long positions. So I have begun investing small amounts using put options for the SPY index. In the last 2 weeks I made 25 percent, and if the market is down tomorrow I expect to make another 25 percent. For these hedges I read your morning newsletter [the Morning Call]. I read it twice, carefully. This helps me hold tight with my options, or start to sell. Sometimes your timing of a rollover is a wee bit early (half a day). That's fine!!! I still know what the technicals are saying, without knowing a thing about the technicals. I can't even read all those charts on the right side of the morning newsletter.
I know you cannot be right 100 percent of the time. Still, this was just the thing I so needed to add to my toolbox. I think we will have a long, prosperous relationship!!

SmarTrend has helped me to recognize trends in trading options. I used to go against the trends and lose because I didn't understand them. Now, thanks to SmarTrend, I do. I know how to make profits consistently now. Thanks to all of you at SmarTrend for what you do.

I've been using SmarTrend for exactly that...to buy and sell based on the trend.. It has been going very well and I'm satisfied with my subscription. I have made quite a few trades YTD based on the information provided to me by SmarTrend. To date I have a 24.32% return on my money...Thank you SmarTrend!

I've made money using the information you provide. I really benefit from your [SmarTrend] Morning Calls. Up until now I've made about $1,000 profit. But your calls have saved me from losing as well. It's important to exit downtrending stocks as well.

This was my very first month using SmarTrend, and I found the entire process to be surprisingly successful. I invested approximately $25K, had 7 successful trades and 5 unsuccessful ones. My total profit for the month was $1,136 for a positive return of 4.5%. Not bad for my first time out. I am really enjoying the process and the daily support has helped me track my trades in ways I've never done before and be much more strategic about getting in and out of trades. Thanks for the guidance!

I read the SmarTrend (Morning Call) Newsletter every morning before the market opens. It is extremely useful to get a read on how the markets will be slanted for the day.

While I have only been using SmarTrend for several weeks I am finding it a useful tool. The first time I purchased stocks that were recent UPTREND alerts was about 4 weeks ago. I entered 6 positions over the course of 5 days and held each anywhere from 3 to 8 days. Only one lost money and the group combined made over $6,000 in profits. I purchased $5,000 worth of each issue. I did time the entry on these with market acceleration and was long on all positions. I have recently entered 4 new positions over the past 2 days and am only profitable on 1. I have decent stops in and watch other indicators for exit timing as well. I agree with your recommendations not to hang on to the issue until you issue a DOWNTREND alert. I believe in taking profits off the table prior to the recycle.

I love the SmarTrend Morning Call newsletter and read it religiously everyday before the market opens. It provides an excellent analysis and summary of the previous day market activity as well as corporate and economic events that affected the market. As I prepare for the current day, I use the SmarTrend analysis to give me an edge on the current day trading as well as any economic events that may affect the market. I am a "day-trader", and I have found the SmarTrend analysis to be uncannily accurate at forecasting market activity and trends. The SmarTrend analysis provides me with an edge that is grounded in analysis and is actionable - something that simply cannot be found in any major media or talking heads. Period.

I've been using SmarTrend for two months now as a check on the analyses that my brokerage (Schwab) provides. I do not trade day to day, so SmarTrend gives me peace of mind -- my portfolio is up for the year but I hear lots of doom and gloom in the news. The reasonableness and calmness of the SmarTrend analyses and morning reports allows me to focus on the long term rather than panicking whenever the market or a stock dips (or soars). Thanks again for your services and emails.

I signed up for SmarTrend because I needed a system that accurately tracks and predicts market movement. The very next day, I saw that one of my stocks had been identified as "on a downtrend." I thought to myself, "I'm going to ride this one out." That was before I saw the notification. So, I pulled out immediately - by doing so, I saved myself from losing almost $500. Ironically, I entered that same stock when an "uptrend" was announced. Although, I did not gain the $500 had saved (still saved!), I did gain another $250. To me, that's a gain of $750 with this system.

I have really benefited and profited from the SmarTrend advice on stocks and intend to keep using this service in the future. Some of my great profits include...DELL UP 82%, OMX UP 106%, F UP 35% and LVS UP 100%. My experience with SmarTrend has been excellent and I have also recommended it to my friends.

I used to trades stocks, but due to a number of circumstances I suspended trading. My time and energies had to be focused on other things. I'll be honest with you, part of the reason I stopped trading was I never really felt I could compete and make a profit. I saw the market as a place where only those "in the know" could make money.
When friends of mine started talking about buying and trading stocks after it looked like the market was going to start to make a comeback after the financial bailouts, I thought about getting back in. I did a little research and found SmarTrend. My initial impressions of what SmarTrend had to offer were good, and so I subscribed to your daily alerts. As I read them as they came into my inbox I was impressed and decided to try the one-month trial period subscription. After the free trial month, I subscribed.
I found your system easy to use and highly accurate, and started to find ways to make a profit. Unfortunately, at that time, I didn't have the time or resources to spend and devote to the market. I had to let my subscription lapse. I believe I did make some money and feel that over the long haul, had I kept my subscription, I could have made money. SmarTrend provides one with the kind of information that one needs to make a profit buying and selling stocks. I especially liked to follow the trend updates and alerts.

Hi, today was my first day receiving my confirmations from the prior days watch list. After I researched the stocks and eliminated some for various reasons (for example, I don't like the industry or my own research found them marginal), I bought nine stocks. After a tumultuous day on the market I am down just a little over my commissions. I think I found a diamond on the beach.

I have been a member of SmarTrend since June 2009, I initially wanted to try your service and I really liked it.
How I am using your system? I am using your system to identify the best stock to invest in, either short-term or long-term. I read the Morning Call and decide whether to trade that day or not, but then follow the market trend most of the time. I use the yearly chart to make a decision to buy or sell a stock. The Uptrend and Downtrend indicators across the yearly chart help me take a risk. I bid on (a) known company's stock when it is (in) an Uptrend for the long-term and other company's stock for the short-term. My Watchlist helps a lot to invest when an Uptrend (is in) my own portfolio - especially days in trend...I (always) sort by that.
How is it benefiting my trading? I am making at least 10% profit in most of the trading.
Whether I have made any profit? Yes I have-since June for an investment of $3000, I have made realized profit of $574 and an unrealized profit of $423. If I deduct $400 for last 4 months service, I (am making) close to $540 profit. BTW my bids were AAPL, SWN, LIZ, BAA, ARIA...

SmarTrend literally pays for itself. I use it for fun and serious money. With the fun money each month I pick a stock at random, invest a small amount, and invariably I make enough money to pay the subscription cost and plenty left over for fun. With my serious dollars SmarTrend helps me with my investment decisions and gives me an alert if the trend changes. It's really surprising how accurate it is.

The SmarTrend Morning Call has continued to be delivered to my mailbox every day without fail. This is very impressive considering that other companies such as Cramer's which offer the same free service..fail to follow through...the overall market view you present every morning is quite helpful to my trading which I'm happy to say has been successful to a fair degree. As my success continues, I am seriously hiring companies such [as] SmarTrend to help me make better decisions with less research and angst on my part.

I receive emails on a daily basis from Comtex [SmarTrend] and feel subscribing would benefit me greatly. There are a lot of stocks that appear that I had heard about in passing that were going to be rockstars or others I've never heard of and wish I'd known about. I've written down a bunch of the stocks that have done well, but because I'm not a member, I've missed out when their prices were so low and would be buying in on the high side.

I am not a serious trader...and all the charts just make my head spin...what I have found is your daily trend report is "right on"...very surprising that you have had the market base line on target...I have been looking for a major pull back...but the market seems to always "claw" its way back from any big drop...I will keep reading every day...thank you...

I have been reading the SmarTrend [Morning Call] newsletter for about five months now. I will not miss one of them because they are so informative and accurate about the market ups and downs (I love knowing what to expect the market to do each day). I do some day trading (I know, shame on me!) but with the help of your insightful Morning Calls, I have made approximately $50,000.00 since April of this year. I have also made very good long-term stock purchases based on some of your Uptrend recommendations. Thanks a Million!!!

My experience with SmarTrend was good and I was able to make (a) good profit from the SmarTrend newsletters and recommendations. Daily I will look for the Comtex SmarTrend(R) Morning Call newsletter which will tell me about the Market technical trend on that day as well as the market summary for the previous closing session which is really worth it.

I read your (SmarTrend) Morning Call everyday without fail as it provides (a) useful guide on market trends. I also read your Weekly Wrap-Up as it provides a summary of what happens the week just past. It also provides events for the following week, which is useful because it helps me to focus on that news instead of searching for (news) which can be time consuming.

Although I have only been using the system for 2 weeks it has removed doubt from my Trading System. I take the alerts from SmarTrend and then confirm them with the more traditional MACD, RSI and Stochastic. I then wait for moving average and trendline breaks. I stick to these rules and so far the five trades I have placed are all positive. In two weeks I have had a 5% return (I must say I am very conservative). SmarTrend has allowed me more freedom as I now don't have to sit and pour over hundreds of charts to find a good setup. You guys are doing that for me now!! I have been receiving your Morning Call newsletter for some time now and thoroughly enjoy it. So far my experience has been very enjoyable...

I began trading about six months ago and the truth is I had not made much money; in fact quite the opposite is true. I would make a little money and then lose twice as much as I made. My account with Scottrade was rapidly being depleted. I was very discouraged and felt like totally pulling out of the market and trying something else; it was about this time that I ran across SmarTrend and then everything immediately changed. I subscribed just about a week ago and I have made a profit in every trade. In fact in just two days I've made $2500. This thing works. I would recommend it not only to the amateur but also to the professional. It takes out all the guesswork when it comes to trading. I am so very happy with SmarTrend! WOW! Now I feel on top of the market and no longer a victim of the market. One last thing. I really enjoy [the] Morning Call...it gives me a very good idea what the markets will be doing that day. I know without a shadow of doubt that I will be making a whole lot of money!

Thanks for your excellent daily morning analysis [the SmarTrend Morning Call]. As I've been attempting to learn about (and practice) stock investing and trading over the past year, I've read several books, read substantially on MarketWatch's web site, and watched a lot of CNBC. Your daily articles provide far and away the best balance of technical discussion and taking account of the news. Your perceptions of what the market in general would be up to has helped me make several good trades in the last few months. You are also a very fine writer. As an English professor, it's nice to see someone who understands the financial markets and can articulate his perspective eloquently.

[The] SmarTrend Morning Call is substantive and very helpful. I use it to update my charts and future expectations. I live on my IRA (which isn't much), so any help I can get to preserve capital is appreciated... Also, I am very impressed with the style of writing and content of the SmarTrend Market Summary. It is unlike many dull newsletters, which state data only. [The] SmarTrend [Morning Call] is reader friendly and encourages one to continue reading every word.

It is hard for me to provide a few sentences when it comes to the reason that I am totally dependent on SmarTrend from Comtex. In the morning the [SmarTrend] Morning Call email tells me what to expect and why, giving a very accurate trend of the market. This eliminates the fear factor that everyone must experience. I like the daily alerts of the UPTRENDS and DOWNTRENDS on www.mysmartrend.com and I picked a lot of these stocks and have done very well with them. I rely on the arrow to tell me when it was a buy and if the stock should be sold.
