If you’re a long-term investor within 10–15 years of retirement, this may be the most important page you read this year…

My name is Chris Vermeulen.

And today I want to show you a powerful solution to one of the biggest problems long-term investors face…

How do you protect your savings when the next bear market strikes?

The last major market collapse wiped out trillions of dollars from the global markets in a matter of days.

And millions of retirement portfolios suffered losses of 30%… 40%… even 50%.

If you’re within 10–15 years of retirement, a decline like that can set your plans back for years.

Many investors simply don’t have the time to recover.

And the hardest part? Most of that damage was completely avoidable.

But fortunately, there is a way to protect yourself when the market collapses.

About 15 years ago… after experiencing devastating portfolio losses, I set out to find a better solution.

Back then, like many investors, I believed simply holding through every market decline was the price you had to pay for long-term growth.

That experience didn’t just cost me money. It cost me years of compounding and progress.

But it gave me something in return.

An obsession.

I became determined to find what the financial industry had never bothered to build…

A strategy that could help everyday investors exit a bear market early, before the damage becomes unavoidable.

After years of research, testing, and refinement, I found it.

I call it The Technical Investor ETF Market Gauge

And it has fundamentally changed how I invest and how hundreds of investors like you navigate every market cycle.

But before I show you exactly how it works, let me tell you who I am and why that matters…

I Lost Everything Following Wall Street’s Advice. This ETF Strategy Gave My Family a Second Chance

I’m Chris Vermeulen.

I’m the author of two investing books — Technical Trading Mastery and Asset Revesting — and my work has been featured on Kitco, Yahoo Finance, The Money Show, Bloor Street Capital, and BNN Bloomberg.

Early in my investing journey, I found myself in the same position many investors face today…

Confused, frustrated, and watching my hard-earned savings disappear.

Like most investors, I believed the advice repeated everywhere on Wall Street:

“Just buy great investments… and hold them through every market decline.”

Financial advisors said it was the smartest way to build wealth.

So I followed that advice. And it nearly destroyed me financially.

During a brutal market downturn, I watched my portfolio collapse.

Years of savings vanished. And the strategy I was told would protect my future pushed me to bankruptcy.

One evening, I sat across from my wife, our family depending on us, and had to admit something I never thought I’d say: we had lost everything.

That experience changed everything for me and made me realize something life-changing…

The problem wasn’t the market. The problem was the strategy.

So I became obsessed with finding a better way to invest.

I spent years studying market behavior, trends, and asset rotation.

I analyzed what actually happens during bull markets… and what really happens during major market crashes.

And eventually, that research led me to develop a tool that changed my financial life.

Not just how I invest… but why I do what I do.

I know exactly what it feels like to follow the advice everyone tells you to trust… and watch your financial future collapse anyway.

I know the sleepless nights, the conversations you dread having with your spouse, the quiet fear that the retirement you planned for may no longer be possible.

No investor should have to go through that.

That’s the conviction that has driven my work for nearly 30 years.

Since 1997, I’ve dedicated my career to one goal: Helping everyday investors find a smarter way to grow and protect their money.

Not the Wall Street way. Not the “just hold and hope” way. A better way.

What I’m about to show you is the most important tool I’ve developed in all that time.

It won’t predict the market. Nothing can. But it will tell you early enough when conditions are shifting from growth to danger.

And for a long-term investor protecting decades of savings, that single capability changes everything.

The Missing Safety System in Your Retirement Portfolio

You may remember what happened when the dot-com bubble burst… or how things unraveled during the 2008–2009 financial crisis.

In both cases, millions of investors saw their portfolios cut in half. And for many nearing retirement, the damage went far beyond temporary losses.

They didn’t just lose money…

They lost years of compounding while their portfolios struggled to recover.

For some investors, retirement dreams had to be postponed… and in some cases, abandoned entirely…

Which raises an important question:

Why were buy-and-hold investors forced to sit through the entire decline?

The answer is simple…

The traditional buy-and-hold strategy has no built-in defense mechanism…

It keeps you fully invested even as prices are falling…

There’s no switch. No warning light telling you that market conditions are deteriorating.

There’s no system designed to move your capital out of harm’s way before the worst of the damage is done.

Now imagine if you had known when those bear markets were beginning.

Imagine how much more secure your future would be if you had a way to recognize when market conditions were shifting from growth to danger.

What long-term investors have always needed isn’t another forecast, another opinion, or another financial pundit telling them what might happen…

They need one thing: a clear, objective signal that tells them when market conditions are shifting from growth to danger with enough lead time to act…

After years of research, testing, and refinement, that’s exactly what I built.

Introducing The Technical Investor ETF Market Gauge.

A proprietary signal system built specifically to alert everyday investors when it’s time to protect their capital… and when it’s time to grow it.

Here’s what it does in plain terms:

✓ It tells you when to own stocks. When conditions favor growth, the Gauge keeps you invested in a low-cost S&P 500 ETF… so your savings compound steadily through every bull market phase.

✓ It tells you when to get out. When market conditions begin deteriorating, it signals you to rotate out of equities and into bonds or cash… before the decline takes hold and the damage becomes unavoidable.

✓ It tells you when to get back in. Once conditions stabilize and a new bull run begins forming, it signals you to redeploy your capital back into stocks, often at significantly lower prices than where you exited.

Simply put, it tells you when it is better to own stocks, move into safer investments like bonds, or keep your money in cash.

And yes, despite what many financial advisors tell you, cash isn’t “doing nothing.”

During falling prices, cash actively protects your capital from unnecessary drawdowns. It preserves your buying power so you can buy when prices are lower.

The Technical Investor ETF Market Gauge combines multiple technical disciplines… volume flows, market cycles, trend analysis, and intermarket relationships… and distills them into one thing:

A clear, actionable signal that tells you whether your capital belongs in stocks, bonds, or cash.

Forget about spending hours studying charts or second-guessing your decisions…

The Technical Investor Market Gauge gives you reliable direction that protects your money from crashes.

Here are a few real-life examples…

Two Bear Markets. Two Early Exits. One Simple Gauge That Made All The Difference

See the chart below? It tells a true story of how this powerful gauge protected investors when the S&P 500 moved through two major bear markets…

On the left, during the late 1990s, the market was climbing, and momentum was strong…

During that period, the gauge kept investors in the S&P 500 index ETF because conditions favored growth.

But then something changed. Price began to weaken. The trend rolled over, and risk started building beneath the surface…

During this period, many investors lost money not because they were reckless, but because they had no way of identifying what was coming.

But the story was different for investors following The Technical Investor Market Gauge. The gauge shifted from Risk-On to Risk-Off.

That red arrow? That’s where the gauge fired a signal instructing investors to shift money out of equities and into bonds or cash.

While the market declined and portfolios dropped 30+%, investors who followed the gauge signal were protected.

The same story plays out again during the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

Markets rolled over, and buy-and-hold investors rode the decline all the way down.

But investors following the gauge didn’t…

That’s because the gauge moves you defensively early enough to avoid the most destructive phase of the decline.

And when the next bull phase begins, you’re already positioned again for growth, not trying to recover from deep losses.

You don’t need perfect timing…

You simply need to avoid the most destructive phases of major declines. The periods where buy-and-hold investors give back years of progress.

That’s why the most important question is “Can you avoid the damage that breaks long-term compounding?“

Now, look at what happens over full market cycles when you consistently shift between growth and defense based on the gauge.

279% vs 766% vs 4,108%: The Staggering Cost of Riding Bear Market Down

This next chart answers a really important question that matters to long-term investors:

What happens over time when you consistently shift between “risk-on” and “risk-off” instead of riding every bear market down?

On the chart, the baseline is a traditional S&P 500 buy-and-hold position (SPY).

Against that, you’ll see two versions of the same rules-based approach:

TTI (the core, unleveraged long-term strategy), and

TTI Leveraged (a more aggressive variation shown for comparison).

Here’s the key takeaway:

When you avoid the most destructive market phases… compounding starts working in your favor in a way buy-and-hold can’t match.

Over this full-cycle period (through late May 2021), the chart shows:

S&P 500 (buy-and-hold): about +2795,

TTI (unleveraged): about +767%

TTI Leveraged: about +4,108%

That difference is the simple math of avoiding deep losses…

Because smaller declines mean faster recoveries…

Faster recoveries mean more time compounding, and more time compounding creates more wealth for you and your family.

Follow The ETF Market Gauge In Three Simple Steps

By now you’re probably wondering…

How does this Market Gauge actually work in practice?

And more importantly…

Is this something you can realistically follow?

The answer is simpler than you might expect.

The Technical Investor Market Gauge monitors multiple layers of market data simultaneously.

Including trend strength, volume flows, market cycles, and intermarket relationships. It then distills it all into one clear, actionable signal.

You never see the complexity. You only see the output.

Here’s what following the Gauge actually looks like in practice:

Step 1: You receive the signal
When market conditions shift from growth to danger or back again, you receive a clear alert via email or text.
The alert tells you exactly what to do and which ETF to move into.

Step 2: You make one simple trade
Log in to the same brokerage account you already use.
Make one trade.
Move into a low-cost S&P 500 ETF when conditions favor growth… or rotate into a bond ETF or cash when the Gauge signals danger ahead.

Step 3: You go back to living your life
That’s it.
No charts to monitor.
No financial news to obsess over.
No second-guessing whether the market is about to turn.

In fact, the Gauge fires just one or two major signals per year.

Which means in most months, there is absolutely nothing to do but let your capital work.

This isn’t active trading.

There are no daily decisions, no complex strategies to learn, and no requirement to understand technical analysis.

If you can log into a brokerage account and make a single ETF trade, you can follow this system.

It takes less than 15 minutes to act on a signal when one fires.

The rest of the time, the Gauge does the watching for you.

If This Works So Well, Why Isn’t Everyone Using It?

It’s a fair question. And it deserves an honest answer.

The simple truth is… the financial industry isn’t built around protecting your capital. It’s built around keeping your capital invested. Full stop.

Most financial advisors operate on a model that rewards them when your money stays in the market

However, a rule-based system that shifts your money to bonds or cash during a downturn runs directly against that incentive.

So most advisors never mention it. Not because it doesn’t work. Because it doesn’t work for them.

There’s another reason most investors have never encountered a system like this.

For decades, the kind of technical analysis used to detect major shifts in market trends was largely the domain of institutional investors and professional traders.

The tools existed. The knowledge existed. But access rarely reached the everyday investors who needed it most.

That’s exactly the gap the Market Gauge was designed to close.

And the good news is… you’re not too late to discover this.

If anything, you’re finding it at exactly the right moment.

Because when the next major market downturn arrives… and history tells us it always does, millions of buy-and-hold investors will once again be left asking a painful question:

Why didn’t anyone tell me there was another way?

You’re reading this page because you found that other way.

And what you’re about to see isn’t another prediction, another opinion, or another advisor telling you to simply stay the course.

It’s a clear, rules-based signal system that has been quietly helping everyday US and Canadian investors protect and grow their retirement savings through every major market cycle for nearly three decades.

And today it’s available to you for the first time.

Finally — A Clear Signal That Tells You When to Grow and When to Protect

If you want a strategy that doesn’t depend on hope when markets turn ugly…

Then this is your opportunity to take advantage of The Technical Investor ETF Market Gauge.

Now, let me be clear about something…

If you’re looking for quick, dramatic gains…

If you want aggressive trading, rapid-fire entries and exits, or the thrill of trying to “hit home runs” in the market…

Then the Market Gauge probably isn’t for you.

This approach was never designed for speculation.

The Gauge is designed for investors who prioritize protecting capital first… and compounding returns steadily over time.

For long-term investors who want a disciplined system that helps reduce exposure when conditions turn bearish…

…and confidently move capital back into growth assets when favorable trends return.

And today, I’d like to personally invite you to join the growing community of investors already following the Market Gauge through my newsletter:

The $47 Decision That Could Save Your Retirement

Now let’s talk about what access to The Technical Investor actually costs.

But first, consider what you’re really getting here.

A financial advisor charges 1% of assets under management every year.

On a $300,000 retirement portfolio, that’s $3,000 annually, and most advisors will still tell you to hold through every market decline anyway.

A single session with a certified financial planner runs $200 to $400 per hour.

Professional trading platforms with institutional-grade technical analysis tools? Easily $100 to $300 per month.

The Technical Investor gives you a rules-based signal system built on that same level of institutional analysis — plus weekly market updates, video walkthroughs, and ongoing education — for a fraction of what any of those options cost.

Your full annual subscription to The Technical Investor is just $47.

That’s less than $4 a month.

Less than a single cup of coffee.

For a system that has historically helped investors sidestep two of the most devastating bear markets in modern history — and compound their savings at nearly three times the rate of buy-and-hold over a full market cycle.

Think about that for a moment.

The next major bear market could cost you 30%, 40%, or even 50% of your retirement savings.

For a $200,000 portfolio, that’s $60,000 to $100,000 in losses. Losses that could delay your retirement by years — or force you to rethink your financial future entirely.

The Technical Investor costs $47 a year to potentially protect all of that.

There is no more asymmetric investment you can make in your financial future today.

And remember — your subscription is fully protected by a money-back guarantee.

If The Technical Investor doesn’t deliver the clarity, confidence, and protection you were promised, you pay nothing.

The only question left is a simple one:

What is one avoided bear market worth to you?

One Important Note On Pricing

The $47 is an introductory price and will not be available after the end of this month.

This is the lowest this subscription will ever be offered. When the introductory period closes, the price increases — and new subscribers will pay significantly more for the same access you can lock in today for $47.

If you’ve read this far, you already know a bear market is coming. Not if… when.

The only question is whether you’ll have a system in place before it arrives or whether you’ll be scrambling to protect your savings after the damage has already begun.

The investors who followed the Gauge before the dot-com crash were protected. The ones who found it afterward were not.

The next major bear market won’t announce itself. It never does.

But when it arrives — and it will arrive — there are only two kinds of investors. Those who had a system in place before it hit.

And those who wished they had.

For just $47, you can be the first kind.

Your order is fully secured, and your subscription is protected by a 60-day money-back guarantee.

You risk nothing by trying this today. The only real risk is walking away and finding this page again after the damage is already done.
