How is this possible? By integrating the two most popular trading approaches--technical and fundamental analysis--into one easy-touse market-neutral system. Learn how to:

• Manage your stocks with one simple weekly routine
• Create a portfolio that reduces risk while increasing returns
• Maximize profit potential using a multistrategic approach
• Generate steady trading income over both short and long terms
• Build a million-dollar account that just keeps on growing

Based on 12 years of historical testing and realmoneyexperimentation, this proven approach to successful stock trading provides seven strategic methods that anyone can master. You'll learn how to use the best available information to find the best possible stocks, positioning your money for growth no matter what happens in the market.

You'll discover the easiest automated tools to build and adjust your stock portfolio--without wasting hours scanning through endless charts and financial reports.

With Dr. Carr's system in place, you can show outsized returns in both bull and bear markets. Forget worrying about future market direction! With "market-neutral trading," you can profit like a pro whether the markets skyrocket or collapse. All you need is a little persistence to make these market-neutral systems work in any economy.

Stock trading doesn't have to be complicated. Dr. Carr's Market-Neutral Trading is the simplest, smartest way to get more bang for your buck.
