Re: Please meet Global Navigator and The Russell

Give me a day or two and I'll see what I can dig up; I can probably get the monthly TR data even if I can't get the daily TR data. Monthly is all I use. https://gofile.io/d/vWcOca I've got the monthly US Total Market data, but can only find monthly 13 week T-Bill data back to 1985 and then annual b...

Re: Please meet Global Navigator and The Russell

3. Has this strategy been backtested to the inception of the Russell indices back in 1979? I'd be interested to see how it would've handled the 1987 crash if nothing else. btw - I just recalled hearing Meb Faber talk about Black Monday, and that if your timing strategy was faster than a 200 day, yo...

Re: Please meet Global Navigator and The Russell

Hello? Just checking, is anybody here other than modeljc following along here to some degree or another? I thought this was a place where these strategies would be welcomed and well appreciated, but it's been pretty much crickets other than some back and forth with modeljc. Can you also please re-u...

Re: Please meet Global Navigator and The Russell

2. Given that the Russell and Global Navigator switch out to a 2X leveraged ITT ETF during down market periods what would happen in a long-term rising rate environment like 1954-1981? The asset the strategy was supposed to hunker down and be safe in would be losing money in many of the down years (...

Re: Please meet Global Navigator and The Russell

All strategies for March 2021 had positive results, it would have been great to capture the mid-month highs! USA S-M-L and MAX PAIN has incredible mid-month gains that they gave up, barely seeking out positive months. If you missed the email sent yesterday documenting the strategy changes, don’t for...

     Hi folks, There are several changes to the strategies for April, want to get this out a little before the month is over to give time to take it all in before making any investment changes for April 2021. The goal is to improve the strategies both in terms of strategy components used and th...

Re: Please meet Global Navigator and The Russell

Looks like the combo got changed. From 40%/60% to 70% Russell and 30% USA. I like that a lot better. We have visited about the levered products and the possible counterparty credit risk. Also using EDV when things turn funny. Might warm to the combo. I will showcase different combinations over time...

Re: 8.6% interest rate in 2021

Mark you are speaking speculation and conjecture, you clearly haven’t looked into this. Its basically a split of revenue they make lending, they give about 80% and keep 20%.

Re: 8.6% interest rate in 2021

And when you say until it doesn’t, do you mean that the high interest rate goes away or do you mean loss of capital?

8.6% interest rate in 2021

Heard about this deal, I get it but you know what they say about if something sounds too good to be true. On the other hand I found no information to sway me against it. BlockFi pays 8.6% on some of the Stablecoins, USD Coin in particular is tied 1:1 and has US Dollars in reserve for all outstanding...

Re: Please meet Global Navigator and The Russell

Looks like you have stopped reporting Global/Russell 30/70%. It seemed to take some of the downside out and helped during times when the world is doing better than the U.S. Correct, I switched to reporting that combination to one of 40% The Russell and 60% USA S-M-L with the last update.
