Well no one ever got poor taking profits but it started me thinking. Is this how the industry takes its decisions?  From then on I decided to work out a way to choose shares and to time buys and sells better. Through a study of Technical Analysis I developed an interest in systems to manage risk and to time profitable opportunities.  

Hello I'm Victor Hugo, editor of The Turning Point Newsletter, Market Strategy emails, Trader's Corner, Trader's Signal and Futures Turning Point.   I use a mix of technical, fundamental and cycle analysis to identify stockmarket opportunities and to time them right. With this information we also give you the strategy how to use the knowledge.  

Haven't you often heard clichés like "the trend is your friend" or "buy low and sell high" - yet you wonder how to make your stockmarket investments perform amid the forest of conflicting advice out there. The unique value that we add is that we don't just use technicals we factor in fundamentals and cycles as well. We pull it all to together for you.  Plus we provide pointers on risk management. This is information that can be used by beginners and experienced investors alike. Our clients are professionals and private investors and people who are just starting out.

I use macro fundamentals, earnings fundamentals and technical and cycle analysis to assist in identifying investable trends timing and targets. The relativity of these different types of analysis - I call RELATIVITY ANALYSIS - and often produces startlingly rational logical conclusions - sometimes missed by consensus analysts. I am the first one to use the term RELATIVITY ANALYSIS as far as I know.

Markets are complex - they reflect so many expectations in different time frames - developing and changing at the same time - each relative to the other. Every event, every expectation dynamic, impacts on behaviour, beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, choices and decisions. RELATIVITY of these dynamics and expectations is the key to reading the markets. It works.

After studying law and economics at the University of Stellenbosh, (finishing in 1978) I practiced as an attorney. My interest in market analysis resulted in my entering the financial world in 1991. Over the years I've consulted to various brokers and institutional clients, I have been a rated analyst. This has given me an insight into the problems of the private investor, especially those who want to make a living from the markets.  

I enjoy knowing not only the entry and exit  levels that technicals give (I use many indicators including Elliott waves and Fibonacci analysis) but also the dates and timing that my cycle analysis gives.   

I was a founder member of TASSA (the Technical Analysts Society of Southern Africa) and I'm current chairman.  Feel free to join us at our monthly meetings. More info about TASSA here.
