Tim,
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to explain Cycle Theory and Dow Theory in terms that I can understand and apply. Your work is fantastic, and anyone who is serious about technical research should use your service. Thanks for answering all my calls during your busy schedule.
I can't thank you enough!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Tim, didn't have time to read your recent newsletter until now, am going through it and decided to take a quick break and tell you it's GREAT, a real clear explanation in the Dow Theory portion is really helping me understand that better. Sure appreciate your work!

Tim,We have discussed the strangeness of ** before. While there are certainly cylces in life, economics and in the universe, I don't think ** describes any of them with any consistency.I have followed ** word for word on their web site with my own subscription for a year and they change their minds quite often on what is going on in the stock market.In fact on their updates during the week, you really cannot consistently invest on their analysis because their words are many times vague and they change a lot from Monday to Friday on whether we are going down or going up. On the other hand, your work, I can invest on, as you have a consistent mathematical approach to up and down and you don't cover your analyses with weasel words.
Best regards,
Bob B.

Tim,
Continued great work! I started subscribing when the ** stuff I was reading was too ambiguous and led me into some trading errors. Your work helped me get a better picture of the market and I really appreciate that. Especially the recent discussions, and rather than "buying" the market I held back but also took a few put options, which definitely paid off of course the last several days. Overall, between your cycle work and the ** stuff I'm reviewing from several different sources, I would gather we're in for not only a cycle low but also a change of trend direction for the equity markets for some time. We'll see. Your will will help keep me thinking in terms of sticking to the intermediate trend which is most helpful.
All the best,
Tiane

Dear Tim Thanks very much for your quick reply! Reading your August newsletter and latest short-term updates was very
helpful for me this morning in deciding whether to stay short a Dow e-mini or not.
All the best,

YOU HAVE THE BEST INSIGHT AND ARE THE MOST KNOWLEDGED WRITER AND PROFESSOR THAT I SUBSCRIBE TO.
I REALLY LIKE THAT YOU STICK TO THE NUMBERS AND ARE NOT PERSUADED BY SENTIMENT. YOUR UNBIASED EDUCATIONAL
APPROACH IS VERY INVIGORATING.

........ By the way, you do a great job on the newsletter, and I rely heavily on the CTI as a trading tool for oil and currencies.I also use your big picture analysis to help stay on the right side of broader trends.

Thank you for the weekly "update" via slideshow/mp3. It was awesome and really helped me understand some things I was struggling with. I would definitely welcome more of these types of updates from you. Thanks again, Brad G.

I am a subscriber of yours based in the UK and faithfully follow your daily and weekly signals on the Dow and Gold.
Despite being nervous about it I forced myself to go long on the Dow back in mid-July when your trend indicator on the daily charts went positive. I'm glad I did!

Tim,
I’m a very recent subscriber, and I must tell you I’m fascinated with what I find. Suddenly I can’t read enough about your methods.
As usual, I’ve tried a few other newsletter subscriptions, but they never really work out like you planned, you know?
However from what I’m learning from your work, I feel I’ve found something that was made for me and my own investment style.
Sincerely,
John R

Tim,
I enjoyed your work on the 21st CenturyAlert site and they have removed you
from their site. I think people were lazy and didn't want to work too hard at
deciphering the markets. I depend on your work. I'm a grandma trying to really
understand the markets and trying to make profits to help my husband to retire.
I have to understand how the markets work and that is especially true when you
have to conserve capital to keep working in the markets (if that makes sense).
Your work is really good and I could go on about it but it looks your other
testimonials beat me to it.
Thanks for your work.

Tim, I must admit that you are one of the best tech guys I have seen since 1979. But have you ever stopped to wonder whether or not you are doing the homework for the boys on the Street? Have you ever wondered if they read your work and juice the futures in the opposite direction of your direction? Sometimes I think it's best just to shut up and see how they do without your guidance. In other words...keep it private for a while and don't clue the bastards in on which way the Dow is supposed to go and play both ends against the middle.

Tim, Thank you for your work in the recent joint essay .. Please also thank Robert.. This piece is excellent and thats why I ,and many others Im sure, printed it for our libraries and future reference. Your explanations both here and on Financial Sense designate you as the Standard Bearer for Dow Theory . You may want to , at a future date , re-name this analysis ... the DOW FACT...as the theory will have been proven once more..
Thanks again,
Best Regards,

Tim, I think that one of things that makes your newsletter outstanding is your disciplined adherence to analytical methodology. This gives me confidence in the parameters you publish.
Your work is outstanding because you do not make unsupported assertions. Consequently, having something real to say makes your presentation job easier. All you need to do is eliminate everything except the essential data, the heart of your work. In matters of presentation, less is always more. Dave C.

Dear Sir,
I don't have any question. I just want to tell you that I think you're doing an
excellent job!
I'm in the business for almost 20 years. I know there's no holy grail.
Forecasting is difficult and I do not expect you to be right all the time.
While your investment letter is not especially easy to read with all those
cycles of different lengths working at the same time, your recommendations are
usually crystal clear: I know if you're bullish or bearish and I know that
you're not afraid to change gear if the market tells you to do so. This is very
important in my opinion because most people try to defend their opinions for too
long despite evidence that they're wrong.
What I also like in your letter is that it is 100% technical analysis. There no
'BS' about the latest Fed speech or statistic du jour.
By the way, it is always a pleasure to listen to you every weekend at the
Financial News Hour with Jim Puplava.
I will renew my subscription for sure.
Keep up the great work!
Best regards.
Harald

Tim, I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with your service. You have saved me and my mother (whose money I also manage) thousands and thousands of dollars! And your detailed accurate analysis helped me pull the trigger on selling short Apple. I had been watching AAPL for months with the intention of shorting it but your daily comments on the market in general helped me decide to finally take a position. I am delighted to say I am short 2000 shares at an average of 43.30 and am already sitting on nearly 16 grand of profits. Keep up the good work!
Regards, Lewis

Just a brief note to say that I think the last few days of commentary on the members only website (mid-April) have been absolutely bloody marvelous. Full marks - keep up this very good work - you are making me a truck load of cash! I follow Richard Russell as well but your service is truly excellent in helping to not only appreciate the big picture but also with the timing of trades - which is everything really. I had for example a large holding of gold shares which has been reduced to virtually nil just before the big recent falls - the saving on that has paid for your subscription many times over.

I am 100% with you. In all of my years trading I have never felt as confident as I have since subscribing to your service. I'll take them going up or down now that I have you and your indicators. I just hope that you stay in business for a couple of years, because if you do, my family will be set forever.
Your entire service is amazing. As I have said several times, it is magic and predictive. It shows when to be bold and when to look for a turn, when to press them and when to change directions. I have never seen anything like it. However, I think I know the problem with building a service, by anyone, but yours in particular; 1) 90% of the folks out there are main stream and everything we do is counter to that. 2) 90% have lost a bunch of money and don't believe it can be done, so they gravitate toward what is comfortable that suits them and their mainstream thinking. 3) Your service attracts and requires a certain amount of sophistication. The average investor wants to be told to buy GE or XOM because gas is going up. You deal in mutual funds that they know nothing about and don't understand. 4) However, if you get a subscriber with too much sophistication, they are probably writing their own letter and your stuff scares them to death because they know it works and theirs does not. 5) In my case, I don't care. I have been doing this so long and only have one goal in mind and that is making money. I would subscribe to a service that makes it's recommendations by pitching pennies against a wall, if it were predictive of the stock market. I am perfectly happy to pay you to develop and report on the indicators while I add my own spin and experience to your work and comments. I have no pride or ambition other than to grow my account. I can see that the market is currently ripe for a turn and it is oversold as measured by many parameters and I am looking for signs of a turn. However, your indicators provide me with the signs that I need which will tell me that a turn either is or is not being made. This is why I think your work is magic. If a person, any person would just move their account over to RYDEX and blindly follow your lead and add nothing to what you are doing, it looks to me like he would make money consistently over time in most any market I can conceive of ( except a sideways trading range and those are simply pauses between trends ) There is nothing else out there that can do that. And if there is, I don't need it because I have you. And that is why I think your work is amazing. Just don't quit, I need to do this for at least one more year.
O.C.

......Allow me to add that I am very impressed by your work. I am particularly fond of your humility before the vagarities that the market can convolute short to intermediate term, while at the same time you do hold with confidence to longer term interpretations. You give more value per dollar than anyone else I have ever subscribed to (as a trader with 10 years experience I have seen more than a few I can assure you), and quite frankly you are under priced!
Thank You,
Ran

Tim,
You are going to be a giant in this business.
Over the years, I have subscribed to many reporters and analysts. If I
can buy good thinking for a few hundred dollars a year then it is worth
while and a valuable use of my money, because I do this for a living.
Currently I am subscribing to ***, ***, yourself and ***. I also look
at ***'s work periodically. Then I have two chart services that seem to
be helpful to me and I have developed several friends in the business
that I share information with. However, I have dropped two services
these past two weeks because of the work that you do.
If I had to only have two services ( plus my charts ) I would take yours
and ***. The wave helps me know about where I am in a series and helps
me plan ahead, but these cycles you have developed seem to be magic. The
thing I like about them most is that they are mechanical and are not
dependent on conjecture, hope or hype. Furthermore, they are not subject
to opinion and subjectivity.
I think it is very valuable for us to have your opinion about where you
think things are going based on your interpretation of the indicators
and I think that eight times out of ten your familiarity with what the
indicators are saying gives us all an edge. But I also notice that
during the few times when you have guessed wrong, that you default back
to the indicators, which I think is excellent.
I hope that you will always find room for me in your group (particularly
after you are rich and famous) and if I can ever do anything for you
that you will let me know.

Hi Tim
Thanks for your Dec and Jan newsletters. They are very thorough and very enlightening. You make a good case for your outlook in the stock market and the Gold market. Your cycle discussion on Gold has made me a believer….. Your work is the best I have seen. You provide facts and data. Most everyone else presents opinions and wishful thinking…..Just a final thought. It is obvious you put a lot of effort in your work and it shows. Lindsay was also a workaholic.
Best of luck
Ed

Great job Tim, I really enjoyed your recent slide presentation on Bull and Bear markets. I it stayed up till midnight to listen to it.
You know when you really step back from the week to week noise you can begin to see and put into perspective the movement
of the market. This really helps me a lot. My problem is probably the same as many others in that we as human beings don't
see these patterns because of the large time frames involved. As an investor I keep finding myself only thinking three to six
months ahead not three to six years which from what I see in your work would be much more profitable......
Thanks again for all your great work and good luck with your move remember lift with your legs... Best Regards Les

Tim,
I just watched your latest presentation. Outstanding. It really does put the market in perspective especially reviewing the patterns in the last great bear market. It helps me relax and understand the nature of these rallies...the way the market naturally unfolds. I was growing impatient and, as you know from our conversation, doubting the direction but now it makes sense. Thanks again, Tom

Tim,
I wanted to thank you for the excellent audio, cycles presentation. It was extremely educational and
thoroughly enjoyable. I am going to show it to my long suffering wife so that she can better understand
what I have been preaching for the past 18 months, regarding the nature and longevity of this bear market. Again, thank you for all your hard work and for taking the time to share it with your subscribers.
We are wiser and better prepared because of it. Regards Al

Tim. I listened to your Big Picture presentation on the Dow and Gold and it was great. Going through the history of the 4 year cycle over that long period of time has really helped put the market in perspective for me. Thanks for taking the time to make the audio to go with the charts. The two combined is much better than reading a document without a narrative. Thanks again. Cheers, Denis

Tim: FYI, Just listened to your two recent interviews and they are excellent. It really helped a great deal and I think these features are wonderful on the website and help your subscribers to understand your information I know they did me...keep it up! Its an excellent way to go. I also see why these daily updates are so very important..to think I had been missing out. They are a daily stop for me now each day. Thanks a lot Tim for the value added.

Since this is my first time corresponding, I'd like to say thanks for all your hard work. Your analysis has really opened my eyes to a new way of viewing the market. Cycles work makes perfect sense to me (possibly due to my engineering background), and it has really helped me maintain some degree of sanity during this crazy market. And if the 3-Peaks / Domed House pattern plays out.... you'll be well deserving of all congrats on the early call and warning.

Dear Mr. Wood,
I have been a subscriber of your newsletter for just a few months. I became aware of your "Cycles News & Views" through my association with Richard Russell’s "Dow Theory Letters" and your weekly radio talk on the Financial Sense Online. I have relied on the Dow Theory over the years, but in simpler terms. In the last few years I’ve come to rely on more variables when investing or speculating, because to act on the advice of Wall Street analysts and the media is a sure fire way to become broke.
My desire to understand why the market is moving in a certain direction only to reverse course is the reason I am a subscriber of your newsletter. Listening to Wall Street jargon for the reasons of an advance or decline does not suffice.
When I received my first issue of the newsletter I read it through browsing for simple answers to my then concerns as to how the market was behaving. I thought, this is too technical-where are the answers? I proceeded to reread the issue again, and again, and not until the fourth reading did I develop a comprehensive understanding of the technical analysis you were outlining of the Dow Theory. Shortly after, I reviewed your site on the web and came across your studies of the works of Hamilton & Rhea. I commented to friends and associates as to how I was consumed with this avalanche of intriguing information. My desire to further my education of the Dow Theory, I attribute to you.
Reading your newsletters and updates has become quite easy for me now. I have become accustomed to the language you speak and the charts are an excellent visual. I can read and understand your points readily now. My advice to anyone contemplating a subscription to your newsletter is to reserve the time to read and comprehend the data initially.
Your efforts to simplify the somewhat difficult analysis of any current market situation is unheralded in my opinion. I have witnessed how you continue to explain and teach your readers. Your timely alerts are just that. Your reminders of current setups are beneficial.
In today’s investment climate it pays to have "bags of tools".
My three bags are labeled Fundamental, Technical and Psychological.
When analyzing the Dow, S&P, Gold, Dollar & Bonds your studies are foremost technically.
I feel rewarded to have connected with you and the services you provide.
Respectfully,
Peter T Adams

I’d like to start off by expressing how grateful I am to have found THE Tim Wood. Tim is a market historian whose dedication is unparalleled. He’s passionate about his endeavors and is one of the very few whose living his purpose.
Tim’s approach to the markets by combining Dow Theory and Cycles makes his accuracy at forecasting uncanny. As a result, (one doesn’t experience the emotional lows that would ordinarily be associated in following other forms of market forecasting) one doesn’t jump in and out of numerous positions based upon the minutte swings in the market. The call to action is spoken loudly by the markets and Tim is the Ambassador relaying its message.
Tim’s most recent call on Gold hit dead center of the bulls eye. He again let the markets tell him which way Gold was headed. His call was made while others were still reiterating their bullish postures.
Having just read Tim’s "Bear Market Report" on where the markets currently sit, I was floored in seeing this reoccurring pattern on a grand scale.
Tim, (the very near future will reveal as to whether) you very well could have played a vital role in saving me, my family and friends from financial destitution. For that I’m eternally grateful.
Respectfully,
Bob Chandler

Hi, Tim: Thanks for the articles. I am very curious to get to know some of the best minds on Wall Street, and George Lindsay is certainly one of the great minds. I will spend quite some time to study your paper on this interesting Three Peaks and Domed House pattern. I look forward to learning more from you. Cheers Jing

Dear Tim:
I am writing to thank you not only for your advice in navigating this
challenging market, but
also for the education you continue to provide in your thorough newsletter. I
never appreciated
the necessity to incorporate cyclical analysis with technical analysis to plan
my trading strategy,
until I began my subscription to your service.
Your newsletter has dramatically helped me avoid pitfalls, and to disregard
the disingenuous
commentary in the financial news media.
I also greatly appreciate the personal attention you provide your subscribers,
should the need arise.
My only regret is not having your guidance earlier in my life.
Thanks again for a great newsletter and your service.
Best Regards,
Howard

Dear Tim,
Have finished reading your January issue of Cycle News & Views ( but only for
the first time!). To say it made interesting reading is putting it mildly. I
don't know your background but can only guess that you have spent years in study
and research and as far as I am concerned it has definitely paid off. The
monthly letter you write is one of the best I have ever come across and believe
me I have taken a close look at quite a few. The truly excellent ones I can
count on one hand and in my opinion you certainly count as one of those.
The results of your research, as laid out in your monthly letter are extremely
well presented, in a detailed yet still 'punchy' format and best of all you are
willing to state a clear view on where you see things going next. Long may you
continue.
With thanks and regards,
Chris
