Gold Timer   Gold & Metals Fund Market Timing for Active Traders Gold Timer market times the precious metals markets to take advantage of their extreme volatility. Gold Timer issues buy and sell signals using the Gold and Silver Index - XAU and Rydex Precious Metals Fund (RYPMX) to measure performance. Gold Timer moves into gold and precious metals index funds only when our proprietary market timing trend indicators confirm a new tradeable "bullish" trend has been established. Gold Timer is for active metals fund traders and should be used for only a portion of a subscriber's timed investments. The gold markets are very volatile. The Gold Timer strategy calls for 100% Long (bullish) or 100% Cash (bearish) positions. - There are no bear gold funds that we are aware of. After a Long (bullish) position is taken, our proprietary market timing trend indicators follow the position to protect against loss. If they reverse, we move back to cash (money market funds).
