Your comment raises a number of interesting points. To tell you what I think, I will have to ask you to forgive me while I explain my answer in the next post which, with any luck, will be later today, but tomorrow at the latest. Thanks for the questions, and thanks for your interest.Ian Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01907950576701716029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142388689060027269.post-44450408544092495682012-01-06T09:39:33.976-05:002012-01-06T09:39:33.976-05:00I have been re-thinking my way of investing for a ...I have been re-thinking my way of investing for a while. I have been using classic couch potato strategy at first and then just bought (and still hold) XTR when it became a monthly income fund. I have done reasonably well, but may be _only_ because from time to time I stepped away from the couch potato (i.e. after the last 50% correction I went 100% stocks and recovered what my couch potato portfolio lost by that time pretty fast). Then I returned back to that portfolio (too soon apparently) and left quite a bit of return on the table...<br />Your approach starts growing on me, but putting 100% (as far as I understand) in XIU when it crosses 200 MA seems somewhat too risky...<br />The strategy I am considering is splitting the money into four piles and each pile follows 10/20/30/40 week MA. Or ten piles and each following 5/10/../40/45/50 week MA. Or something like that.<br />Have you ever considered such a strategy? Obviously, this means more trading but seems to provide smaller potential loss.<br />What do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
