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.

As I was looking back over the year to see what the returns were with the signals I only had a Bollinger band up and noted that there was short and longs depending on the outer bands but wasn't consistent.

This made me think there was overbought or oversold components. I did not have RSI or any other indicator up to correlate.

I will sit down and see what if I can see a pattern.

Like Tinsmith I don't mind putting some money into a blackbox system if a backtest was demonstrated and if live signals were shown on the board for a time period with a known cutoff day then I would definitely subscribe. (I dont have the time or skill to run most of the timing signals.)

But I understand that there are those who won't without a peak under the hood which limits the viability.
