Got my first 1% off TLT. That was pretty easy!

Thanks, mathjak, for sharing this simple strategy!

Thanks!

On spot market, the gold is over 1500. Where do you usually watch prices?

I'd like to thank Mr. Insurance Guy for sharing his strategy with this forum. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Do you remember what made you buy on the 16th? There was not much dropping.

mathjak107,

Trying to understand when you entered GLD.

TLT is slow today.

Where do you look for tweets?

mathjak,

Are you looking at TLT, if not in already?

It looks like there may be a trade at the end of December based on the model. I'll update closer to December 31 if the signal indeed changes. Thanks for the update. Was wondering about a possible trade at the end of November, S&P takes new highs almost every other day. Will wait until the end o...

Here is a Canadian version of GEM, Hot Potato Portfolio,

Thanks, IG, for sharing your strategy and continuous updates.

If one were to start following it, when would be adequate time to enter? At the beginning or end of a month? At the next shift or another event?

Thanks for the information. Do you still consider USMV?

I think we all have to be cognizant of the fact that as soon as something gets turned into an investable product it becomes a mechanism for bringing efficiency to that element of the market. It will be interesting to see how it works going forward. The longer I’m around this stuff the more I become...

iShares has a set of lower volatility ETFs which could produce better GEM signals which are less "whippy" than using regular S&P 500 and ACWI ex-US ETFs. These are USMV and ACWV. Let's compare them to VOO and VEU. Unfortunately, the history is very limited, only spans 2013-2019. USMV/...

Good to know about iShares. Schwab seems to be working hard GEM's rolling 12-month return is -5.47%. Not all strategies are created the same. My modified version of GEM has a rolling 12-month return of +11.4% (unlevered). Unless you are willing to share signals on a regular basis, it is hard to fol...

Is this the latest one that you signed up and which one you were able to backtest so many centuries?

GEM's rolling 12-month return is -5.47%.

What do people here think of Buffett's investing style? He goes after long-term and has performed relatively well. Currently, he is after AMZN.

Is everyone ready for "Sell in May and go away?"

....for a smooth ride until it's time to truly go on the offense again.

Thanks for the numbers! What do you use for gold? Which option for gold do you recommend at Schwab?

Thanks, ochotona-san! You are a true samurai. You honestly share your thoughts, ups and downs, and your plan of action. I always appreciate it in people. As for HBPP, among which assets do you spread the capital by 25%? Hi all, The last trade day of this month is this Friday. Momentum, so far, point...

Hi all,

The last trade day of this month is this Friday. Momentum, so far, points to stocks. Bonds have outdone them. Where will you invest for April?

Thanks for letting us know!

Trying to figure out how you conclude from the link to the Visualised Portfolio whether GEM 3-6-9-12 month needs to change?

GEM lags in bull markets, but hugely leads in bear markets. Everyone should know this. There are lots of trades that don't work out, but the ones that do hit big. It's the same thing for the HBPP, or any disciplined investment strategy for that matter. If you're not prepared for a bad trade, don't ...
