  • EEM Paired Switching: More Than 20% A Year Since 2003 [View article]
    From 5/1/2003 (because of ETF inception dates) to 2/15/2013.
    The ETF with the highest return last 60 days is chosen. (ETF/TLT)
    Rebalancing every 4 weeks.

    I get 498.07 % total return. (05/1/2003 - 02/15/2003)

    I get 295.03 % total return. (05/22/2003 - 2/15/2013)

    If possible, Can you give more detail (4 weeks) of your performance ?

    Thanks

  • Doubling The Return Of The S&P 500 Over 20 Years [View article]
    There is no ETF data prior 2011.

    There is a index data that goes back prior 2011, however it is a backtested data.

    Goto S&P indices website for that index and read the performance disclosure.

  • S&P 500: Why You Should Buy The Dip [View article]
    There are always exceptions (some years you will beat the market), but, Most of the time your strategy (or any other strategy) never beats the market in the long term. You may produce market returns (even below market returns) with lots of your personal time wasted.

    Good Luck

  • Doubling The Return Of The S&P 500 Over 20 Years [View article]
    I did view the links in this article. I was not looking at the ETF data because S&P indices website does not provide ETF data. ETF data is provided by Powershares website. Again, Not just the ETFs, but Index itself was created in 2011. Prior data was created using back-test. Please see PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE on the factsheet provided by S&P.

    I have no problems with your article. It could be a good strategy in the future.

    Thanks.

    Are Bloomberg indices a subscription service ? I was interested in other indexes.

    Again, Thanks for the article.

    Continued...

    According to S&P website, The inception date of the S&P 500 Low Volatility Index was April 4, 2011, at the market close. The inception date of the S&P 500 Low Volatility Index CAD Hedged was January
    24, 2012, at the market close. All information presented prior to the index inception date is back-tested. Back-tested performance is not actual performance, but is
    hypothetical. The back-test calculations are based on the same methodology that was in effect when the index was officially launched.

    ---------------------
    So, you are backtesting with the data that is already backtested.

    Anyway, thanks for posting your strategy. I hope it works in the future.
