Friday
Just wanted to see how many of you guys are going to jump ship out of the S on Friday being that many of the strategies call for a move.
Re: Friday
Yup, headed to the F fund for a week. Just following the strategy, second guessing yourself and only looking at the market is futile unless you are a professional broker.
Re: Friday
I'm in 7980... The plan calls for a move to F fund for 4 trading days, then to the S fund for two days, then a retreat to G for 9 trading days. Yeah... that's a little funky.
I have no plan to go to F, so I'm mulling remaining in the S fund or a move to C or I.

Re: Friday
Following quite a few strategies, more as a guide than actual decision maker. Most of them have me going into "F" (which that ain't going to happen), while the rest has me in "S" and lastly "C".
I'm still wiping all of the spit and throw-up on my face and hair from the wild roller-coaster plunge down so I think I am going to stay ... and let it ride!

I am considering the move Friday. Daily says to go "F". I probably will go "G"utmaverick wrote:Just wanted to see how many of you guys are going to jump ship out of the S on Friday being that many of the strategies call for a move.
I am just an average Joe. I have no clue to what the market will do.

Re: Friday
Maybe I'm naïve but these daily seasonal strategies just seem nuts to me. It seems like trying to recreate past history on a daily level and I just don't see how that could possibly work out in one's favor. Maybe there's more to it but It just seems like snake oil to me. Granted, trying to trade the market isn't for everyone but are all these seasonal and daily strategies better than buy and hold? Is there even enough history or data to really know? Anyway, rant over.

Re: Friday
I am moving Friday. Following 7980 this year. I can't follow the market so hopefully history will repeat itself.
Re: Friday

Re: Friday

Re: Friday
Yeah, I'm a sucker for punishment so moving to F. Can't wait to lose more money!

For example 7980 and 15535 come from there

Re: Friday
Going to wait and see how things pan out this week. My inclination is to stay in S until at least the end of the month to hopefully recoup some of the losses. I think we still may have some upside. If the CPI comes in a little low we may be off to the races. God help us if it shows inflation is rising more than expected.
Re: Friday
Yes, seasonal strategies are absolutely better than buy and hold. It goes off of historical data and statistics, not just smoke and mirrors. Most seasonal strategies, if you had followed them since the data collection started in 2004, have over 4000% compound return and around a 30% mean on growth. To simplify it, it uses the historical data to say this index is statistically better this time of the month than any other fund. For example, July has been historically bad for the S fund, it has been positive very few times in its history. You mean to tell me you feel more comfortable just buying and holding knowing this? Just let the data do the work for you and use it as a guide.XAMOTOMAX wrote:Maybe I'm naïve but these daily seasonal strategies just seem nuts to me.
