BMR is back online after a wild 24 hours! You’ll soon see a full restoration of the BMR site with all previous postings and features. In the meantime, we’ll be updating from this temporary set-up with the best view in Firefox.
Wow, what a crazy day yesterday and it wasn’t even Friday the 13th! The Venture jumped another 10 points as it completed its 7th straight weekly advance and some of our latest selections continued to explode higher…all of this after the BMR server got knocked out just prior to market open!
We experienced a total site crash at approximately 8:00 am Eastern time Friday, a first in our nearly 8-year history. This occurred after an unprecedented surge in BMR traffic over the last several weeks to an all-time high. Fortunately, we had daily back-up systems in place that will allow us to recover all of our information and data. We apologize for the inconvenience and we greatly appreciate the understanding, patience and support of our valued readers and subscribers. A day without BMR is like a day without a morning coffee, a snack and a meal for energy!
What this all confirms, beyond any doubt, is that we are in one amazing bull market – one that should have a lot of legs. Interestingly, for 5 years we dodged every bullet from an apocalyptic bear market, then a raging bull busts our server! That never even happened during 2009, 2010 and 2011, so that’s a sign of great things to come.
We have stated repeatedly over the past number of months that it usually takes about a full year after the end of a bear or bull market for the masses to begin to accept that a new market cycle has commenced. Now the masses are beginning to wake up after we called the start of a new bull cycle in Q1 2016.
Check back regularly through the rest of the weekend for fresh market updates.
STAY TUNED: Something BIG is in the works at BMR later in the coming week – sorry, but we have to keep you in suspense until then! In a way, yesterday’s system crash could not have come at a better time as we’ve now completed an upgrade to accommodate maximum traffic.
We’re back online after our Friday morning server blowout, first time in 8 years! Full functions and regular look of site will return to normal over the next couple of days. We appreciate your patience. Check back for a series of posts Sunday. Comments section is open.

Greg, we weren’t able to do 7 @ 7 Friday or Morning Musings due to the server failure and of course the time involved to address the problem. Because we had a daily backup of the system at 2 different locations, we are able to retrieve all material going back to Day 1 in 2009. The only postings that were lost were from last Thursday as the back-up hadn’t been completed for that day prior to the Friday morning blowup. There are still a few issues that are being addressed, in particular plugins, over the next couple of days, but importantly we’re up and running and able to post.

don’t see the log in button, I assume that is one of the plug ins that is being worked on? I mentioned the Friday 7@7 as you mentioned it when the site went down you had a really good 7@7 on Friday, so I was very curious to see what you had.
thanks
