Rodger, it sounds like you are just using his forum. Are you able to follow Terry's updates without purchasing his T-Theory Encyclopedia?

Sure.
I think that most of the information in the "Encyclopedia" used to be freely available at: http://ttheory.typepad.com/
I see that the original site has been scrubbed now.

Week after week, month after month, we have posts and discussion about T Theory. I don't hear about anyone making any money from Terry's observations. All this time: Contributors such as NAV, Techman, Vitaminm, Senor, and others are making contributions that put money in your pocket each week or each month.

yes but man wants complex strategies, so we feel like we are intellectually stimulated when we earn our money trading should be treated like sex get the job done and get out of there

However, I did fork over the $99 (or whatever) for the year out of curiosity.

Please don't tell Clark Howard.
He will be so disappointed in me.

I put some money with Terry's investment company in January 2010. As of the end of September 2011, the account was up 24.8% over the last 7 quarters.

Is that the best bond strategy? I like that concept and might open an account with him.

I paid for the forum.

Yup, it's the best bond strategy plus whatever else he wants to buy, like gold. 2010 was only a fair year for Terry but this year his timing on the best bond strategy was great. Buying into T-Bonds and gold in 2011 was an excellent move and he did it early in the year before everyone started climbing aboard.

I had watched Terry for years and finally decided to put some money with him. After opening a account, I started duplicating his trades in ETFs instead of mutual funds. While Terry was in mutual funds and I was in ETFs, I was able to trade quickly and not overstay the position as so often happens in mutual funds. At times this gave me a better performance record than Terry.

In mid 2010 I wrote to Terry and urged him to use some ETFs and give himself the liberty of trading more frequently. Eventually he got the message and is now using ETFs. I imagine he got the same recommendation from a lot of clients.

Hi Bob.
Thanks for the update on Terry.
In this weekend's Bond update ( BestBond™Strategy ) Terry mentions using the ETFs such as TLT and IEF to trade but using various Fund's performance as a benchmark, since many of the funds have a longer historical record, but higher fees.

I came up with this "confidence" indicator based on etfs which can be traded anytime during the day.
JNK was a screaming buy at the first of October when it made a bullish reversal bottom.
However note how it has fallen since Terry's predicted late October top.
