A Review of Value Trend Indicator

___________________________________________________________________________________

How to Get Rich and Stay Rich Getting rich today is easier than ever. With the use of a computer and a specially written financial program called Value Trend Indicator the small Investor can now evaluate stocks and stock market indices from around the world in a very short time. A few years ago these tools were available only to the very wealthy. To be an Owner or a Lender.  Most people take the safe approach to investing by putting their money in Treasury Bills, Bonds or other debt instruments knowing that they will receive a specified annual interest and be able to redeem their investment at full face value on the redemption date. Others invest in equity, such as share ownership in companies, with no guarantee of dividends or even getting back the price that they paid for their shares. However studies show that over the past 60 years the return on Treasury Bills, Bonds etc, has averaged out at 3.5% per year.	Bull Market Alive  and Thriving While over the same period an investment spread over all the common stocks listed on the New York Stock exchange shows a return of 7% including dividends and capital gain. This includes the good, bad and indifferent stocks.  The lender just managed to keep up with inflation while the owner showed a gain over inflation of 3.5%. With a little effort the owner could have weeded out the bad and indifferent stocks and on average the good stocks would have given him a return of greater than 15% per year. The Value Trend Indicator consists of a well designed, executed, simple and  easy to use program covering all phases of investment analysis required by the individual investor. The Database is modelled on the spreadsheet format making entries, changes and corrections fast and easy.	Databases can be created for individual Companies, Mutual Funds and Indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Data entry is simple, with automatic date generation, requiring only one entry of Index or Price Data each week. The resultant averages and ratios are shown in easy to understand form, both graphically and numerically. The moving averages are shown for 2, 4, 6, 8, 26, 52 and 104 weeks. With buy, sell or hold recommendations. The ratios show the Price/Earning, Risk Factor, Annual Earnings Gain and High and Lows for the data tracked.   The on-line Help file contains a wealth of information on the ratios and averages and their importance and relationship to stock prices and market index movements.
