Stocks have fallen dramatically since last October, and if you’re paying any attention at all you are probably at least wondering when the bad news will end and whether or when to throw in the towel. Some investors are distressed and even angry that the professionals they depend on haven’t protected them from losses.

My book “Live It Up Without Outliving Your Money!” has been revised and
was published in June 2008 by John Wiley & Sons. The subtitle of
the book is “Getting the most from your investments in retirement,” and
that describes what’s between the covers.

Merriman investment philosophy
As a firm, we are committed to giving sound investment advice to all investors, whether or not they are our clients. We believe the best way to maximize long-term investment returns is to use passive, low-cost, tax-efficient vehicles in a carefully chosen mix of asset classes. We use this approach in the accounts we manage for clients and also in our recommendations to do-it-yourself investors.

Our bond timing model is used for trading mutual funds and exchange
traded funds that hold high-grade U.S. bonds. Typically, high-grade
bond funds hold U.S. treasuries, mortgage-backed and high-quality
corporate securities. You can consult Morningstar at their website, www.morningstar.com,
to find the average credit quality of any bond fund (look for funds
that have an average credit quality of A or above). Practically every
401k plan has a high-grade general bond fund.

Since 1983, we have provided market timing signals to the public,
through our monthly newsletter, FundAdvice.com (formerly Fund Exchange)
and (since 1998) on our Web site, www.fundadvice.com. While we have recently stopped computing these signals and publishing them to our website, we have made the calculations readily available to those investors who are interested.
The purpose of these signals is to give individual investors a
practical way to manage their portfolios using market timing systems.

With the intense volatility the markets are experiencing,
and economic news looking negative, many investors have been asking if they
should sell their equity funds and move to the sidelines until the economic
news gets better. History tells us that would most likely be a bad decision
that could force investors to miss out on sizeable gains.
