The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Using GTR1 data from 1926 to 2022, 60% of 1-month returns were positive following NHNL 0.

                SR1m      SR1m    SR1m     SR3m    SR3m
NHNL Count positive Average StdDev Average StdDev
0 6339 60% 0.7% 7.4% 2.7% 13.2%
1 17707 64% 1.0% 4.6% 2.9% 8.2%
total 24046 63% 0.9% 5.5% 2.9% 9.8%


SR1m is S&P500 subsequent return 1 month.

Is 1-month return a good market timing signal. Doubtful, but this can be tested by adding a 4th signal to BCC:
Mo: trp(1,21)
[moBCC]: [1*[[SMADiff] > 0 ? 1 : 0] + 2*[[NHNLDiff] > -0.4 ? 1 : 0] + 4*[DBE] + 8*[[Mo] > 0 ? 1 : 0]]

Close positions:
moBCC = 0!1!4!5!8!9!12!13 ignores Mo
moBCC = 0!1!4!5 follows Mo
moBCC = 8!9!12!13 follows the opposite of Mo

Adding this 4th signal results in lower CAGR and higher turnover.
