You've been long fixed income for almost half of the year during 25+ years of steadily dropping interest rates. Of course your credit portfolio appreciated.<br /><br />http://blog.morallybankrupt.org/2010/05/shut-up-bloggers-fed-is-full-of.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854212312458729028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11027528911364475.post-50134128729335512232010-05-04T14:09:29.343-07:002010-05-04T14:09:29.343-07:00Don't know why it works but today was a good d...Don't know why it works but today was a good day for it!DIY Investorhttp://rwinvesting.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11027528911364475.post-91614974694995911312010-05-04T10:49:33.004-07:002010-05-04T10:49:33.004-07:00Hello

Then you get exposed to the 1929 crash, 1987 crash and the 2008 crash.<br /><br />I remember reading something comparing returns when one missed the 10 best days in the past X years, missed the 10 worst days in the past X years and just always invested. Missing the 10 best days did best, where as missing the 10 worst days did worst, if I remember correctly.Free Traderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596149836409838545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11027528911364475.post-6263240119921401942010-05-04T07:27:56.127-07:002010-05-04T07:27:56.127-07:00easy answer... its all detailed in Sy Harding'...easy answer... its all detailed in Sy Harding's book "Riding the bear" ... anyway there are a dozen seasonal factors he lists - generally by buying in end of october and selling early may you avoid most corrections. <br /><br />as to why, again, tons of anecdotal reasons -- year end tax selling meets january reinvestment, global focus during the back to work/back to school winter cycle, more uncertainty around summer business cycles, money managers dont want to have money at risk when they are on August holiday... blah blah... bottom line is Sy Harding backtested and this works....

Going forward, with interest rates starting at such low levels the strategy may cease to produce such stellar returns, at least during the "go away" months.AKnoreply@blogger.com
