    Yes, I noticed that, since I am down 770 points on the thing.

    This is not a fist bump, but rather a punch into your smiley face. :fistbump:

    I wonder why no one floats an ETF/MF that just rotates among the momentum sectors/stocks? It would seem to work at least in this market. Of course with so much trading it would work better in an IRA vs. taxable account.

    I only watch the market a few hours a day and its clear that the bond yields & USD dictate short term movements.

  8. I'm well aware of their success and as close as to perfection one can have but in the end it was a failure needing billions in a bailout. Back in my college days, long ago, I did a paper on these guys for my derivatives course. We agree they used leverage as their whole model was based on it. It was mean reversion betting and when the Russia ruble became, an outlier, it became a house of cards. Swaps was the biggest losses if I recall, but admittedly I don't remember what I used to and don't care to Google. Haha

    QMOM looks a lot like the chart of ARKK, however MTUM is pretty impressive. It seems to outperform the SPY consistently by 5-6% pa even going back to inception in 2014:

    How do you know if starting tomorrow we will be in a piece of a bull market or a bear market?

    The best and the brightest have had caniptions trying to predict the future direction of the market:

    Unless they said that over very, very long periods the market has had an upward drift and they were betting on that to continue... and baring very harsh events like nuclear war occuring, many sharp people like Warren Buffett have taken this view.
