Subject: Re: Wild-and-crazy idea
Using QQQ, one can go back to the turn of the century and include the two bear markets before 2011. Using a lookback period of 12 months and weekly trading checks, the system grew $10K into $88K while buy-and-hold only made it to $77K (a 14% improvement).
I get QQQ grows to $52,166 and TQQQ grows to $165,869. 52 week SMA.
But looking closely at my spreadsheet I made a mistake. It evaluates weekly but trades daily, which is wrong.
::sigh:: back to the drawing board.
