The holy grail of trading isn't an indicator or method but simply finding ways to tilt odds in your favor. Stan Weinstein's Forest To The Trees Approach is a repeatable method of finding good times to buy stocks with better odds of success.

If you traded in 2009, once the bottom was in stocks started breaking out on huge volume. If you were paying attention it was hard not to miss. That's what a bottom looks like, not when you have to scan 100s of charts to find 1 or 2 candidates.

The end of the 2000-2003 bear market was almost a year of basing in the S&P 500. Most stocks still didn't start working until the end of that basing process. So bottom line is you have to patiently wait for the market tailwind.

During a bear market people will bring out sentiment, P/E ratios, the Fed, value, and many other reasons for why we could be close to a bottom. None of those are as good as just waiting for the bottom to show up and form a base, and then start a new uptrend.

5 reasons to not buy anything in Stage 4: 1. Can go to zero 2. Can go down a lot more 3. Even if it is near bottom, can take years to base in Stage 1 4. Opportunity cost: other things in Stage 2 that you can’t allocate that capital to 5. The best stocks to buy aren’t in Stage 4
