What You Get:

The Dines Letter is published 20 times a year or every second or third Friday. Each issue is sixteen pages long except for the blockbuster January Forecast issue which is double that or more. The Millennium Issue was 56 pages. It is delivered by email in PDF format or by snail mail if you prefer.

With your full subscription you get a 35 page booklet explaining the letter and how to effectively use it. You also get the two most recent back issues. And your subscription includes the most recent January Forecast Issue.

Every issue includes TDL's Current Market Analysis covering two or three pages. It features numerous charts and graphs. In fact, Dines is very fond of charts and you will find plenty in each issue.

Currently the newsletter usually includes an analysis of Internet stocks. Dines calls himself The Original Internet Bug and covers this market regularly.

He follows this up with sections on Palladium (he's also The Original Palladium Bug), Precious Metals, Resources, Currencies, World Stock Markets, Seasonalities, Letters to the Editor and/or a feature on Health. Each issue usually includes at least four or five of these topics.

The newsletter concludes with the Dines Trigger Box (short, medium and long term index buy-sell signals) and his supervised investment lists.

These are five recommended portfolios which include specific current buy/sell/hold recommendations, stop points, price originally recommended at and performance to date.

The lists are geared to different investment styles as Dines tries to satisfy everyone from long term investors to short term traders. Ranging from most conservative to most volatile, they are:

1. The Good Grade List
2. The Long-term Growth List
3. The Precious Metals List
4. The Nearer Term Trading List
5. The Low-Priced Stocks List

Dines also calls himslf The Original Gold Bug and recommends keeping the # 3 list as a core position in all portfolios.
