Currently KOL, EWZ, EWZS, EPOL, SLV, COPX, SLX, and VWOB. Also VGPMX and PAAS. My system is quantified but not automatic. I decide looking at my...
Discretionary. I don't know what EOD-data is.
No one seems to trade like I do. It's a weighted blend of trend-following and global value. Long only. 100% invested. No leverage. To date mostly...
I'm neither optimistic nor pessimistic. It looks bad but they keep muddling through. When will inflation will kick in? When it does will it be...
Using Japan as a bad example for excessive public debt is like using Denmark to illustrate the dangers of excessive socialism. Yes, each would be...
I just read “Flash Boys” by Michael Lewis. Is the book accurate? Does “front-running” ever happen to retail traders?
To take an extreme example, in the flash crash of May 6, 2010, prices rebounded to more-or-less previous levels within minutes. In such a case a...

I would hold for years if I found a trend that lasted that long. Typically they violate my "trend is still good" criteria after weeks or a few...
I don't do alerts. I just check my list every couple days using multiple time frames. Years? Do many trends last that long? You must be very...
I trend-follow currently-cheap countries (ETFs representing foreign stock markets) and commodity indexes (like SLV and energy-related ETFs). I...
Yes. It's pretty simple. Using your water metaphor, compare it to "the cross-sectional area of a pipe times the speed of the water flowing through...
Stardust, You are correct. About 98% of the "printing" the Fed does now is with computer keystrokes, not bills and coins. Irving Fisher invented...
Money is created two ways: 1) the Fed prints it, and 2) fractional-reserve banks loan it into existence (credit money). Focus on #2. Credit money...
Just what I needed, thanks.
