Over 32 years of managing money professionally have taught me a few lessons on how to successfully navigate a bear market. Taking my playbook from the 2001 and 2008 market crashes, I will present to MoneyShow participants the process I have successfully used in the past to limit your risk and keep your money safe during a bear market—then profit by identifying when its safe to go back into the water. As one of the few portfolio managers to have identified and prepared for the current bear market before it occurred, I will present my proven process to identify and trade during the three stages of a bear market. Bull. Bear. Bottom. Then bounce.

Many investors get caught in popular investment themes. They enthusiastically buy near the top, then fearfully sell near the bottom. Keith Richards will be sharing insight into using contrarian analysis tools designed to help you buy oversold markets and securities that have reached their capitulation stage. These same tools can help you avoid or sell an overbought market or security that has reached its euphoric stage. Taking key lessons from his new book Smart Money, Dumb Money, this seminar will assist you in incorporating contrarian analysis into a logical trading strategy.

Join Keith Richards to learn how ValueTrend scans for potential breakout's along with the criteria we look for in a potential stock candidate. A rebounding company or sector can be a magnificent thing to take advantage of, but signs of continued weakness can punish the security further. For this reason, you need an approach that marries company fundamentals with technical analysis. Only technical analysis can offer clues to the actions of the crowd and uncover key signs of the smart money buying into the real opportunities. Mr. Richards will teach you to use technical analysis to determine if a stock is truly breaking out with upside potential. He will show you how to identify the upside price targets along with the downside stop-loss discipline necessary to ensure you reduce your risk while maximize your returns on breakout stocks. You'll enjoy his often-humorous approach as he discusses navigating the murky waters of the stock market.
