The Geiger Index Puts Us 515% Ahead of Other Investors
Things were looking good for this chemical manufacturer in March 2008 when I issued a buy order. It had just settled a lawsuit on favorable terms and was becoming lean and mean with plans to get rid of its under-performing assets.
With all the good news, the stock looked like a “long” buy. And it was, for a while…
But later, The Geiger Index told me things were turning ugly fast. I immediately issued a sell order on June 27. Investors who followed my recommendation pocketed a tidy return of 18.25%…and MISSED A LOSS of 83.75%…a 102-point difference in our favor.

Those without The Geiger Index lost their original 18% PLUS up to an additional 83.75% in about four months.
At the time, the firm had 46,500 shareholders, and I’m certain many of them suffered this 83.75% drop, hoping against hope that “things would turn around.” Many are still hoping the stock will return to its former glory.
But just getting back to the point where The Geiger Index told me to sell will take these 46,500 investors a whopping gain of 515.53%!
How easy will THAT be? How long will that take? Avoiding this loss was just like making 515% minus all the uncertainty!
In fact, as of this writing, even with the current “recovery,” this stock still has 315% to go before it gets back to where we booked gains!
The Geiger Index isn’t about “hope,” or any other human emotion.
It’s about reading the language embedded in stock price moves and taking high-probability actions based on this knowledge. We made an 18.25% gain – and wisely avoided a devastating loss.

Or look at this…
The Geiger Index Puts Us 140.1%
Ahead of Other Investors
This energy company exploits and develops petroleum and natural gas properties in western Canada.When I recommended readers sell their shares for a 15.6% in June 2008 as oil was still making new highs, some people wondered aloud if I were crazy. After all, oil reached $140 a barrel the day after we sold!
Not crazy at all. Unlike investors who rely on intuition or follow outmoded theories and statistical methods, I was looking at The Geiger Index. The same technology that has kept the B-2 fleet flying, almost without incident, since it was launched two decades ago.
And this is what this technology showed me coming down the pike…

Despite all the good news about oil prices, the firm’s share price was headed for a fall… and soon. So I immediately issued the order to take our 15.6% gain on June 25 and scram.

Within months, the company’s share price dropped 58.35%. The investors holding those 147 million shares would need a 140.1% gain just to get back to the point where I told my readers to take gains… just to get back to break-even… assuming the stock didn’t drop even further.
And guess what? As I write this today… seven full months after this low… and in the middle of today’s so-called “recovery”… this stock is almost 50% LOWER than it was last year!
All these shareholders were left with was… hope… hope that things would turn around.
Meanwhile, The Geiger Index was feeding me cold, hard, actionable facts that led my people to a gain and no loss. Which would you rather have?
Now consider this…
The Geiger Index Puts Us 415%
Ahead of Other Investors
This globally integrated company has 311,000 employees in more than 60 countries. It’s in ALL the steel markets, emerging and mature, and in every sector.
With steel prices skyrocketing in early to mid-2008, the biggest steel company seemed like a natural buy. So I issued a buy recommendation on March 24. But by June, The Geiger Index was flashing a decidedly different picture. So I told my readers to bank a 29.94% gain and go home.
Good thing, too. Here’s what happened next…

After I told my readers to take profits, the stock dropped like a stone to $17.82… a loss of 81.86%. The 2,398 shareholders (approximately) who held on to the stock would need a 451.12% gain just to get back to the point where they could take profits!
And get this, even after the recent stock market “rally,” these shareholders are still 300% shy of breaking even!
These 2,398 shareholders (some of them very wealthy) are going to need a lot of hope and luck to be made whole again. Their fate is out of their hands.
Thanks to The Geiger Index, I remained in control – and kept my readers in control of their fate. They were able to take potential gains of 29.94% and avoided a devastating loss of 81.86%… the equivalent of making a 451% gain.
And yet, that’s just part of the story…
