I just finished re-reading Chapter 15, Bottom Fishing: The Art of Buying Low and Selling High, in my book, "Stocks, Strategies and Common Sense," and I was reminded of how hard I thought it was to do. In fact, I wrote that, "Buying low and selling high is not as easy as it sounds."

Well, I wrote that in 1997 and I've learned a lot since then. One of the biggest lessons, and perhaps the hardest one to learn, is to buy "S" rated stocks when bottom-fishing. Yes, I know that "S" means Sell, so why would I be buying "S" rated stocks? Simply because bottom fishing is all about buying stocks which have been beaten-down in price and are about to start going up.

With VectorVest, it's easy to tell when a stock's price has been beaten down. I simply look for stocks with low Relative Timing, RT. I know that all of these stocks will have "S" ratings because their Prices will be below their Stop-Prices. So this part of bottom-fishing is really easy...at least it is when you have VectorVest.

The hard part, however, was in knowing when these beaten down stocks are about to go up. Intuitively, I knew that the best time to go bottom-fishing was when the market exploded from a bottom, but identifying that crucial event was the trick. It was hard to do until we developed our Market Timing System in 1995. Since then, VectorVest has a stellar history of advising its subscribers to go bottom-fishing at the right times. For example, we advised our readers to go bottom-fishing on August 2, 1996, just as the market was rising from a bottom. The following week, we presented a five step bottom-fishing procedure "that can pay big dividends."

Had you followed those instructions and held the top 10 stocks ranked by VST Desc until yesterday's close, you'd be up 103.2% with eight winners and two losers. Had you bought the top 10 stocks ranked by VST/RT Desc and held them until yesterday's close, you'd be up 486.7% with seven winners and three losers. Over this same time period, the S&P 500 Index gained 30.7% and the Price of the VectorVest Composite went down 9.6%.

While we were proud of our bottom-fishing capabilities even 13 years ago, we always wanted to get better. Some of this history was presented in my essay of March 27, 2009. Most importantly, we illustrated in that essay and in the associated "Strategy of the Week," how sorting by VST/RT gives explosive profits and sorting by VST gives wonderful long-term results. But the biggest factor in successful bottom-fishing is getting in at the right time. I think we've gotten pretty good at that too, but you're the judge.

All I can say is that when we alert you to an imminent rally like we did on March 6, 2009 and give five proven strategies to use, and repeat the guidance on March 9th, the day the market bottomed, and we're sitting at our computers ready to buy on March 10th when the market exploded, that's Bottom-Fishing Made Easy.

Our number one priority, here at VectorVest, is to help you make money in stocks, and we will work with you until you do. We know we can help you. We have done it with thousands of subscribers. Just give us a chance.

It's really strange, this thing about making real money. We have so many ways of demonstrating how to do it, yet we continue to get emails and calls from subscribers saying they haven't done so. It's almost like there's some secret we haven't told you about. There's no secret and we have told you how to do it over and over again. Let me explain.

It all starts with our fundamental belief that investors should buy safe, undervalued stocks, rising in price. That's why we provide an assessment of Value, Safety and Timing on every stock, every day. Aggressive Investors who don't care about fundamentals simply buy rising stocks in rising markets. Of course the corollary of selling falling stocks in falling markets also applies. In any case, making money all starts with knowing whether a stock is more likely to go up or down in price.

This is where Wall Street really gets it wrong. They say, "You can't time the market. You should buy stocks on the way down. You should dollar average with regular monthly investments. You should buy and hold. And, finally, you can't beat the market." VECTORVEST REFUTES ALL THESE LIES. We time the market. We buy stocks on the way up. We dollar average AFTER the market has gone down. We buy on the way up and sell on the way down, and we beat the market.

Simple logic says that your chances of buying rising stocks increase when the market is rising. So we Time the Market to see whether stock prices are rising or falling and we have The Color Guard to convey our analysis. The first thing you should do every day is look at the Color Guard. It tells you in a flash when it's OK to buy stocks. Then read the Strategy that goes along with the Color Guard. It provides guidance for various types of investors and suggests searches that are most likely to find big winners. Then you must make certain that the market is going in the direction you want it to when you make your trades. This is exceedingly important. Even Tiger Woods wants to have the wind at his back when he hits the ball.

From time to time, I'll write a whole essay on market timing, like I did on March 6th. The market took off two days after I wrote "Itching to Rally," and all five Strategies we recommended have produced fantastic gains: Blyar's Bottom Feeders is up over 108% since the close of March 9th. Bottoms Up is up over 122%. Jail Break is up over 167%. Pirate's Long is up over 113%, and Silber's Singles is up over 117%. Fantastic!

OK, so how does VectorVest help you learn how to do the right things at the right time? First of all, we provide introductory literature and instructional CDs which describe the VectorVest System. We also have a terrific Product Support Group who is more than happy to answer your questions and help you any way they can. Then we have the VectorVest University. If you're really serious about making money with VectorVest, visit the University on a regular basis...especially to see the "Strategy of the Week" presentations. You're not going to get better information anywhere at any price. Well, you probably could by attending our live events, especially VectorVest 101 and the Two-Day Seminars. If you can't make it to a live event, attend our new Webinars, which are FREE. They're terrific. Finally, we have one-on-one training available at a price anyone can afford.

Of course I didn't forget our VectorVest User Groups. They're located all around America and in Australia, Canada and England. Each and every one of these User Groups is supposed to be dedicated to sharing ideas and knowledge on how to make money with VectorVest. If yours is not, please let me know.

Having read all of the above, you may think it's complicated to make money with VectorVest. But it's really not. The underlying lesson is always the same: Let the trend be your friend. Go with the flow. That's The Secret to Making Money with VectorVest.

On October 24, 2008, I wrote an essay called "Blue Chip Bargains." It was aimed to present some ideas on how you could build a portfolio of great stocks at bargain prices. To accomplish this task, I described how I created a search called "Best of the Biggies" and then used Portfolio Manager to whittle the list down to a diversified portfolio of 100 stocks. What a fantastic portfolio of stocks! It made my heart flutter. Nevertheless, I completed the essay by describing how I would go about buying them.

On that same October day, Mr. Gordon White gave a wonderful presentation at the VectorVest University on how to create this wonderful list of stocks and he demonstrated how one might use it to pick long-term winners. On December 12, 2008, Mr. Todd Shaffer used this same universe of large cap stocks to give another great presentation called, "Taming The Tiger - Part II, A Safe Way to Lock in Low Prices." In this presentation Mr. Shaffer showed how one could use Bull Call Debit Spreads to establish relatively large positions in these stocks at a relatively low cost. On December 26, 2008, Mr. Gordon White illustrated how one could generate cash from these stocks by selling Put Leaps. (One should be aware that selling Puts is riskier than buying Bull Call Spreads.) Finally, on January 16, 2009, Mr. Todd Shaffer showed us another way to generate cash from these stocks buy selling Leap Strangles.

At this point, I have to confess, I've used all of these techniques to make money from these stocks. While I am quite satisfied with the results, I could have done even better.

Given the enormous success we have had with our low RT bottom-fishing strategies, I wondered what would have happened had I sorted these stocks by VST/RT and focused on buying the highest ranked stocks. All I can tell you is that the results would have been fantastic. Ms. Angel Clark is prepared to show you what they are. So watch this week's "Strategy of the Week" presentation at the VectorVest University to see how you can make a bundle of dough by Bottom-Fishing for Blue Chip Bargains.

P.S. Why have we returned to the Blue Chip Bargains portfolio so many times? Simply because we are living in historic times and buying these great stocks at 5 to 12-year low prices makes a lot of sense. I firmly believe they will be much higher in the years to come.
