Personalization is key to customer satisfaction and Customer retention (Another Infographic)

It really is getting tiring how marketers are ignoring that nobody wants to be a part of the "BLAST". It is about time that we marketers stop doing blasts and start building our software which caters to individuals (at least if we want to be successful).

After A Long Leave Of Absence.

I have not been able to post anything for quite a while now.
It has been extremely busy and just keeping up with the weekly newsletter has been a challenge.
Let me quote from some of the newsletters that I had written in the last few months:

On June 5, I started to close all short positions and sent this email:
:Starting to close 50% of all positions (Except WEAT & CORN)

Then we long XIV around $20.50-$21 range.

On June 9, I wrote:
From a pattern standpoint, the pull back was corrective and with our short-term momentum work hitting oversold levels I have increasing evidence that Friday’s bullish reversal represents my anticipated June minor low. I would still see this as the basis for another bounce/rally into deeper June, anticipating a retest of the May high at 1670 to best case 1700.

XIV did well and continued to go higher. However, around June 19, the indices failed to clear 1650 and the correction resumed. Our resident troll started to send abusive emails but I said the following:
The stock market is ruled by fear and greed.
We are no exception.
We are mostly out of the market except for XIV and now that the indices have broken the earlier low, the momentum has shifted to the downside. However the downside is limited to SPX 1565-70 which will be enough to generate tons of short interest before the bounce.
I expect to see another bounce soon at which point we will close our XIV.
For now, do not give in to fear and panic.
Gold and silver has reached my downside price target but the cycles have not bottomed yet.
All in all, it is fishing time, and do not give in to fear or panic nor to greed.
Have a great weekend folks.


On June 30 I wrote the following:
  •    From a daily trade point of view, I think we have seen the bounce and the correction will continue till 1st half of July. If 1560 is taken out in SPX, the next stop is 1535 and then 1510. But I am not fully sure whether 1560 will be taken out or not and hence I am hesitant to take a short trade here.

  • From a weekly perspective, I am fairly certain that we will see another rally to new high of around 1710 by 1st half of August.

  • On July 11, I wrote:

    Yes, the low came in early.
    For those of us who cannot wait and must have something going, here are two items worth going long with:
    SLB:  with a sell stop at $ 74.00
    XOM: with a sell stop at $ 89.60

    The target for upside moved a little bit. SPX can go upto 1740.


    Now the XIV is at $25.78 (I had sold 50% of XIV at a loss of about a buck), SLB is at $84.80 and XOM is at $94.83 and I have advised subscribers to book profit.

    How is that for hitting the ball, Mr. Troll?

    We are still waiting for the cycle bottom of gold and silver and waiting to short treasuries. We are mostly in cash and I am asking readers to raise as much cash as possible and be patient.

    Do not be greedy like the Troll nor be a spineless snake.

    However, I do not trade very much and wait for the right opportunity with a very long term outlook. I am not a day trader nor do I care for the short term moves. I am looking forward to what is going to happen in few months, not in few days. So if you have a short term outlook, you will be wasting your time and money. If you do not have the patience and want to buy or sell always, the talking heads in TV will be a better bet. I am not looking to become a mass market newsletter writer nor am I looking to become rich by selling subscription.

    Thanks for reading this post and good luck investing everyone.

    Not important but Google Content keywords say a lot about what your site is about

    I always like to look at this. One can gauge the "overall sentiment" of your site by looking at this list of words. Google likes natural content, and natural content keeps the visitors coming back to the site (returning traffic is to websites what returning customers are to a business).
