Today turned out like I thought for the market, simple
chop/consolidation day.
So I've been working on 401K stuff. Here's some images, the
first shows very clean tables with the one at the top the long only
version and the one at the bottom including theoretical interest
one would have gained during times the system was in cash.
The 2nd image shows a graphical representation of buy and hold
vs the system. Essentially what the system does is keep you out of
bear markets so you don't go through the large draw downs, which
over time compounding greatly takes over. The 3rd image shows the
same thing but on a logarithmic scale. The purpose of the log
scale is to show the 60's and 70's where there was huge volatility
that you don't see in the first chart because it's flattened out by
the larger price scale in the 90's and 2000's.
Note these are large images so you may need to click on the
'open in new tab' URL at the bottom to see it in full size,
otherwise the lightbox will scale the image to your smaller monitor
and will not appear as sharp.
finally got all the sell in may stats done, and also have a
version where I combine the 401K paint dry to it.
I also looked up historical interest rates for every month to
account for interest accrued when in cash. It was a huge job,
EXTREMELY tedious work! you should see the Excel File. I'm
'Exceled out'! I will go over this sometime, most likely in its own
newsletter or a detailed video. too much stuff to post here
Thinks I've been working on today

Hi Matt. Have you tried your system on the $DJW - Dow Jones Global Index or other national indexes like the $FTSE? Great work. Cheers, Denis.
