Did you add to your limit order at 12.33 from 1/9 ?

When did you sell oil?

Hope Mr. IG does not mind my postings. If it's inconvenient, please do not hesitate to let me know. People from "Irrelevant investor" evaluated longest drawdowns in real prices since 1926. On the graph, you can see that so-called risk-free investments (especially US bonds and T-bills) lose...

Nice! What is your secret?

Is it time to buy oil?

2mathjak107: Hope that helps in regards to what you were asking.

Here is a comparative return from different assets for the last decade.

Nobody knows what will the next ten years bring. The last could be first and vice versa.

Small wonder, momentum strategies lose to S&P when the latter is pumping, like the last 12 weeks. The thing is, not many, if any, people know when S&P will be pumping.

Only 3 of the 18 are cats. I've set my house limit at 3 cats (unless a Siamese or Tonkinese comes around. Then I'd make an exception to add one more). All the others are rodents. And, all, including the cats, are low maintenance.

Well said.

It is very convenient to buy an ETF when the market is down for a day or two. Especially, if one needs this ETF in one's portfolio. Not to mention that TLT even pays dividends once a quarter. The chances that something goes wrong with this plan are minuscular.

Alright! Keep us posted. Many learn by observation or following the master ;-)

I'd like the first copy but signed ;-) If not signed, then no go.

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...

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...
