The strategy you are referring to is called the "Dogs of the Dow." It was popularized by O'Higgins and Downes in the book "Beating the Dow." However, most people know this strategy from those wacky fellows, The Motley Fool. Smurf Commentary: Sometimes a Fool is just a Fool. The Dogs of...

And it's easy to test! Just get some data starting from January 2000 and find the stocks that meet your criteria and see where they were at the end of 2000. Then repeat the process for 2001 and 2002. I'm sure you'll find it's been an amazingly profitable strategy for the last 3 years or so. And...

I found the calculation method for MF and pasted it below for anyone who is interested. I started looking and MF as a form of price divergence analysis, but I'm wondering if people use it in more absolute terms. For example, a RSI value > 65 would be considered bullish (in some situations...

Corallus, Did you post that last chart using TS6? If so, how did you annotate the chart?

Does anyone use the Money Flow indicator on EOD? What can you tell me about this indicator? How is it calculated? Used? Thanks

You'd better sell your Wade Cook books, quick!:D

and stupid is arguably a fine one. I agree, you are right to have reacted to some bad news on the "funnymentals" of your book. But given the analogy you provided, wouldn't it make sense to check your facts? That's what I meant by doing your own DD. I don't mean to sound like a prick who is...

Freealways, Are you just pretending to be a (submit appropriate adjectives here)? You didn't actually sell Toby for $150, did you? Nobody is that dumb..... right? I'll admit, I can't decide whether you are for real or not. But if you were serious in your posts, all I can say is that...

On the box of paddies and on their packaging the hamburgers say "100% Beef." What they don't want you to know is that the name of the company that supplies their hamburgers is "100% Beef." There is no guarantee that the burgers themselves are 100% beef.

Hey Cheeks, I'm long at 19.19. Can't say which way it's going to go - but I'm hoping for up! My stop is near break even now, so it shouldn't matter too much anyway. Happy Trading, but not on HPQ.

Trade small today and you'll be around to trade tomorrow.

I just wanted to say a quick (and public) thank you to Don. In 2002 I wrote Don a PM and asked him a question about fair value. He didn't get back to me, which didn't surprise me since he's a busy guy. Imagine my surprise when a few weeks later I opened the newest issue of TASC and saw my...

"Just like a wop... brings a knife to a gun fight." Untouchables "I don't approve of your methods." Untouchables "Put him in a bodybag, Johnny." Karate Kid

Reminds me of a martial arts seminar I attended a few years back. The topic being discussed was physiological response to pressure point attacks. The presenter said: "We hooked the judoka up to an EKG machine and got two karateka to punch him in various pressure point areas. Using the...

Before you spend considerable time working on strategies related to trading in the land of the rising sun, be sure to find out what rules apply to trading in Japan. Kinda reminds me of the barn where a pair of 2's beats all - House Rules. I don't know about futures, but I'm under the impression...

I wonder how much they're going to charge for Radar Screen. I feel kinda used - they spent months figuring out what people wanted - then they gave it to us - at a higher price.... Gotta admit - the improvements to TS6 look good, though.

All I can say is he's either about to be a genius or a laughingstock!! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0743222997/ref=br_b_nr_1/102-4134541-2280162?v=glance&s=books&n=3

I can't seem to get a H.G. type strategy to work especially well on daily bars. I have a rather complex version of the code, but I was playing with a "Speghetti Code Version" and I still couldn't get it to work very well on a reasonable universe of stocks. I'll post the code I whipped up so...

As I mentioned before, I didn't do the coding on this particular program, so I'm not 100% comfortable with saying in absolute terms whether it works or not. I went back and looked at the trades generated on the IBM daily chart and saw that the exits seemed to be a bigger problem than the entries...
