Good to hear from you, Dr. F. Thought you'd gone and left us.

System Report ... YTD Performance is +14.66%. The System is 100% in the G fund at the moment. Still doing some minor tweaking, trying to automate things a bit more.

System Report : July 2010

Mmmmm ... ahhhhh .... Mmmmmm

Well, I "fixed" the system. Which means I broke it. lol So I don't really have a report this month as my "account" has been in the G fund the entire month. Which makes my YTD return 11.94%

However, had the system been working this month, I think it would be down in the 7% range, but I don't know for sure. That's where it was headed in the beginning of the month.

So as soon as I fix my fix, I will re-examine the month and see where the system would have been in and out and post new figures based upon that.

Happy Invest ... uh ... Reallocating everyone!

Great job! For some reason I thought you were on the tracker, but I couldn't find you.

System Report : +19.2% YTD (thru 9/29)
33% C , 33% S, 33% I

C Fund is flirting with a sell notice.

 

[DrFaustus]

System Report:
Monthly Return: 3.97%
YTD Return: 23.53%

The system is still in 34%C, 33%S, 33%I , though of these, the only fund with a strong buy notice is S Fund.

Congrats to all those ahead of me on the leaderboard.

 

[DrFaustus]

Based upon the charts and the market performance so far today, I see a sell signal coming for the C, S and I funds. The F fund looks very bad right now too, so the system will be in the G fund tomorrow. I *might* hold off on the change if the market shows some sign of coming back up by noon eastern. But as of a few minutes ago, it doesn't look like that is going to happen.

 

[DrFaustus]

Well, I was right ... sorta.

The I fund gave me a sell signal, but the C and S are teetering on the edge. So I made an executive decision and got out of those as well.

The system is now in the G fund ... Up 22.87% YTD.

Congratulations. Not to be picayune but joining the tracker would provide further validation. Plus you would get to have more fun. My apology if you are on the tracker.

 

[DrFaustus]

Thanks Birch

I didnt want to join the tracker this year as I was still ironing kinks out of the system and I didn't think this year's performance would accurately reflect what I was trying to do. Still don't quite have what I want but I'm about 90% there. Will probably make an effort to join the tracker for 2011.

The S-Fund is giving a weak buy signal today.
Green Line = Share Price
Blue Line = Short Term Daily Moving Average
Yellow Line = Medium Term Daily Moving Average
Red Line = Long Term Daily Moving Average

As you can see, the S fund is trending up (LDMA) and the SDMA is poised to take over the MDMA. Given what is happening today, this looks like a buying opportunity.

However, it *is* a holiday week and the markets tend to fluctuate more wildly around these holidays as volume drops off, etc.

So, the system is indicating a buy. Should you buy? I dunno ...

System Report ... as of 11/30, my YTD return is +23.89%
