You might want to read it again too and see how he uses TA to make money consistently

Um it doesn't matter if you use buy & hold or trade frequently. What matters is returns. The fund underperformed the markets between 2003-05 and 06 was just a slight beat.
No matter how you look at it those numbers aren't impressive. The 98% return in 2 skews all the data. It is extremely unlikely it will be able to return 98% in the future. It is a statistical outliers that raises the average.
Threads like this one separate the envious losers from the real traders for all to see. Losers will bash, and winners will always compliment or keep quiet.
So having an opposing view makes you an envious loser?

ps. it's TA combined with other factors. A.S. was mentored by monroe trout who was taught by niederhoffer--- draw your own conclusions...
No, expressing uninformed views makes you an envious loser.
You have been told that this fund does not correlate with the S&P by design and yet you continue to use that as your basis for comparison. If you do not see the need for an investor to have some funds invested in something that does not correlate with the market then you probably have very little money to invest period. Maybe when you have some serious cash you will think differently.
You ignore the successful years (outliers) and then focus on the years that were less successful for no apparent reason other then to justify your erroneous conclusions.
You make completely ignorant statements like the only thing that matters is the return. If you dont know why that is false then there is no point in trying to debate you further. I've got some great FX systems to sell you, if all you care about is returns, not risk.
Lastly, you may also want to note that the leverage the system utilitizes was halved in Apr 2005, thus the current 38% YTD is equivalent to 76% return before then - so much for your argument that 2002 (96% return) was an "outlier". On a risk-adjusted basis Aug 07 was the best month ever.
Sorry son, sounds like sour grapes to me. Maybe someday someone will pay for your trading abilities, but what I have seen from you so far, I really doubt it.
