Since I am so new to this, there is now way I'm going to try to go it alone. Sentiment Survey is my friend and I will follow it to the letter! Why fight or question what works, right?

100% S until told otherwise by SS.
 
Good idea. But don't get shaken if it has a few bad weeks. It always does, but seems to come back.
 
100% G as per the Sentiment Survey. Really tough to make the jump, I just have an up feeling about next week (hope I'm wrong!)
 
What to do, what to do. With the conflicting signals between the SS buy and IT's sell I'm in a bit of a pickle here. Told myself that I was going to follow the sentiment survey religiously, then along comes IT's system. I've read as much as I can find about both and am still really torn between the two.

Being as new to this as I am and only having a very small amount to work with since my TSP has just started, I think I might try to hedge a little here and go 50% S and 50% G for this week. Hopefully by doing that I won't be kicking myself too much by the time the next signal comes along.

Any thoughts as to whether this is a viable option, or am I just trying to do the proverbial cake thing here?

Hmmm, interesting concept. Like I said in another thread, it wouldn't surprise me to get a buy signal early next week. If I did get one, my system would verify the Sentiment Survey signal and you could put your 50G into into the S and make it 100S.............very interesting.

I've been considering looking to see if there might be a strategy for incorporating the two systems, just been really busy updating and changing spreadsheets for 2011. I'll research this more when I get a chance..............thanks for the input!
 
Something to consider, For 2010 the SS was exposed to stocks 69% of the time, and of this time spent in stocks, 33% was spent in upside-down trades, one of them losing over 6%. Point being, sentiment doesn't always trigger a successful trade, patience and the ability to absorb pain is required. What usually happens is you'll grow tired of being in the red and lose faith in the system. By the time you regain your faith, it's too late, the system has left you behind...
 
Anyone know which thread talked about the method of being in equities for just the first few days of the month? I can't seem to find it.
 
They are all unscrupulious badboyz. Spread your bets across the boards and take your winnin's when you get the shivvers.
