A rising tide lifts all boats,Air is well positioned.

For those Buy and Hold advocates - a simple exercise in maths.

I have to say I am surprised a post like this is even needed! That being said, reading this forum it is clear that there are a number of people who simply have zilch in the way of exit strategies. I hope it makes some people think but I wouldn't hold my breath!

rising tide? You might well be right, but maybe we need to change the name of the thread ... what about "Golden Tuesday"?

Markets are very brave when the DOW is on holiday

Yes, but ... it is equally easy to find examples where shares have less clear rises and drops - and you actually would loose money if you follow a strategy of buying and selling every time you pass your chosen MA. Only with the benefit of hindsight can you decide whether a particular break through is significant or not - and if you wait for additional indicators, than the margin gets still slimmer, than it often is.

If there would be a fool proof strategy, than we all would be millionaires (well, maybe we are?)

just depends on what currency KW--Just been to Laos where the kip is 8200 to the $us

Meanwhile I also think the DOW (futures) is a brave market in light of whats going on in China.

Im waiting for the new best seller in the states ''Buy-Hold-Prey''

Would be nice if KW had come up with a full proof strategy to make us all insanely rich, however she does provide an example which is roughly representative of what you would expect on aggregate (the trend at least) right? That would be the point I take out of her post anyway.

[bull....]

I don't think anyone will get rich using a moving average crossover system in the long run - easy in hindsight to fit some averages but considering they are lagging indicators and most markets trade sideways most off the time your end up losing the majority of the time.

Guys if I was you I would take particular note to KWs posts. As someone said to me once "just shut up and listen, you will learn a lot" KW is not saying it always works but is giving you some very useful tools to aid your decision making when investing. I find KWs information superb, and personally rate KW in the among the top posters on ST. And I know KW like others does a lot of research and it is great it they share all the good stuff on here. Also there is a post somewhere when KW declares their portfolio popped past 1 million, it was a while back so I'd say it was north of their before the recent sell up - so KW obviously has a very successful strategy. Thankful again KW

I've only been investing 4 years and in my mid twenties, but have implemented people's advice on ST, by sorting it from some of the not so good advice which I have also acted on in the past - and regretted it. KW ta signals do aid in investing, I've looked retrospectively on some investments I've made - some bad / some good. And if is followed some TA analysis with my fundamental investing strategy I would be better off, but I have done very well from the markets as ove been buying in a bull market which I didn't realise when I first started investing.

Time to get back to my book Using Technical Analysis which I bought from the hospice for $1 a few years ago but it sat around unread - should have picked it up earlier - it's got some great stuff
