With all of this in mind you can use my system* in an indirect way if you are still interested in owning individual stocks (yes, I too own individual stocks) and stock oriented mutual funds. If you actively trade individual stocks I would not buy any while my indicator is in sell mode or at the very least I would place very tight stops on them during that phase. If you are a buy and hold type and you are in for the long haul you could approach them in one of two ways. You might consider putting tight stops on them to limit your losses during a down fall and re-purchase them when the market starts heading up. Or, if you are in to dollar cost averaging you might consider buying more of the stock when we are in a sell mode (stock price is lower) and not buy mode, or at least buy less when the indicator is in a buy mode. The only problem with this strategy is that while we are in a sell mode we really have no way of knowing how low the market may go.
Recently, a new fund was formed whose goal is to DOUBLE the results of the QQQQ. Below is a comparison of the QQQQ with the QLD.

The QLD is sold on the American Stock Exchange. You purchase both the QQQQ and QLD as you would individual stocks. You buy shares and as stated earlier both are much more liquid in the event you have to sell large quantities quickly. You may learn more about ultra QQQ Proshares (QLD) on almost any financial website.
I am sure I am stating the obvious when I say this but just as the QLD may rise faster than the QQQQ it can also fall faster. However, with my system* we will be in the market when there is a very strong chance of the market going up and of course we will be on the sidelines when the market is headed down.
FYI The statistics I gave you earlier were based on the closing price of the QQQQ based on the day we entered a trade and the day we closed a trade (sold). The reason I point this out is because I now only trade the QLD. The goal of the QLD is to double the performance of the QQQQ even though it never seems to be quite 2x's the QQQQ. I mention this because if you trade the QLD your results would be close to twice what I previously mentioned with the QQQQ, but your losses would not have been twice as much because of the stop losses we have in effect. That brings me to my next point.
