I'm really not trying to be rude here, but what is the point of your posts? I think people are assuming a lot of hidden risks in indexing and the...
ok we're pretty much on the same page here.
So correct me if I'm wrong, but you're buying ETF's and holding for a long time, trading very infrequently. How do you make your decisions of...
1. I respectfully disagree completely with this point. You need to find the post I made (I think on this thread) about how you can win at trading...
Good work. Exactly what time frame does your backtest reference? Also make sure you did not include deletions due to bankruptcies, mergers,...
I find the entry very simple also. Buy when a change is announced, short on the actual effective date. Don't trade bankruptcies or b.s. like...
What exactly do you mean my passive portfolio? I'm not sure we're on the same page with this so please clarify.

Ok I guess I should cut you some slack since I did call you a prick... but you have to realize the point of this thread is how to evaluate a...
ok... but those weren't just technical points. we did a ton of analysis finding fundamental attributes that predicted significant price declines...
<sigh> what an idiot. i didn't give two references... i gave the two most well known academic papers... and i also gave a link from the s&p...

Good thinking but don't do anything aside from collecting the tickers and relevant dates yet. IMO you're overcomplicating slightly and I dont...
let's do the background work on this system idea first and then we will look at some OHLC ideas so you can see how i evaluate those. biggest...
