We just lost a great market analyst, market timer and champion of investors. We found out today that Sy Harding, editor of the Street Smart Report passed away this week. We wish the Harding family our deepest sympathies. Sy was frequently ranked as “Top Ten Market Timer” and helped investors make money for more than 26 years.

Perhaps his most famous contribution to market analysis and investment strategies was when he enhanced our “Best Six Months Switching Strategy” with Gerald Appel’s MACD indicators, dubbing it the “best mechanical system ever.” His “Seasonal Timing System” was made famous in his critically acclaimed book Riding the Bear (Adams Media, 1999).
