Hi,

Before volatility calculations, the equation remains 50% IVV/50% IAU. Right?

Hi,

After April, the holdings remain at 50% IVV/50% IAU, though VBR got dangerously close to IVV. Hence, a couple of questions. The strategy stays with IVV until there is even 0.01 % difference? Have you considered the situation when they break even?

I see. Would you count May as month one for your approach?

Also, would it not be a more conservative approach? Wait longer and for more confirmations?

Look at SCHH as an alternative to VNQ...

Yeah, you are hanging with the rough crowd now. ;)

Of note, throughout my writing I’ve continuously emphasized “when combined with a large cash balance.”

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?

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 of this month.

My original post was meant to give ideas of how one might develop an investment model in order to not bias any discussion. Given that any discussion has run it's course, I have made several edits that reflect more closely my personal version of the model and it's prior trades for any who wish to follow along.

The model continues to be in 100% REITs, I choose to use VNQ (or a combination of VNQ/DRN leveraged).
