In this smart, simple book, Stein and DeMuth show you how to use the tools of technical analysis to determine the relative "cheapness" or "expensiveness" of the market as a whole at any given moment. They demonstrate that basic criteria like dividend yield and price to earnings ratio are like clocks that can tell you when it's a good time to jump into an index fund, the stock market, or when you'd be better off putting your money in bonds, real estate, or cash.
You'll find no gimmicks or get-rich-quick schemes here, just the information you need to tell a good investing climate from a bad one. Timing the market is safer and more profitable than keeping your money in stocks all the time. In fact, an investor using Stein and DeMuth's system would have bought stocks in fifteen out of fifteen of the best investing years for long-term investors since 1926, while staying out of the market during the worst fifteen years. Market timing not only offers superior returns over the long run, but it can also protect you from short-term catastrophe.
Yes, You Can Time the Market! But don't just take the authors' word for it, see for yourself with charts, graphs, tables, and a wealth of stock market data. Stein and DeMuth have done all the heavy lifting for you. All you have to do is follow their advice and look forward to a more prosperous future. Written for those who want to preserve capital and build wealth steadily, this book offers prudent, bedrock advice for investors who can no longer afford to play games with their money.
"'Buy and hold' makes sense for the average investor in stocks. Even better, say Stein and DeMuth, is to buy only when prices are low and hold when prices are high, keeping accumulating savings in Treasuries while waiting for 'low' prices. They define 'low' and 'high' prices by historical experience. An interesting and thoughtful analysis."

"Wall Street, prepare yourself. Ben and Phil hit the nail on the head with their insightful guide to investing. No gimmicks, no games, just tapping the true power of economics to make sensible investment decisions. Add to that the authors' dry wit, and this handbook is a must-read for investors small and large."

" The logic and reasoning are persuasive. Stein and DeMuth buttress them with evidence, lots of it. The term 'valuable' properly applies to the guidance of the conclusions."
–C. Lowell Harriss
Professor Emeritus of Economics
Columbia University
"How refreshing to read commonsense advice about the stock market! Stein and DeMuth's findings are both verifiable and free of quantitative trickery. What's more, their writing is as clear and straightforward as the methods they recommend."
