It is a fundamentally good time to consider the strategies in this book. Macro-market timing, stock-specific approaches, money management revelations, and intermarket analysis. Even better that it is written by someone who has actually done it himself.

Pulling these all together, he makes predictions about the likely best times in the coming decade for investors to adjust their portfolios.
