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.

Not free but Allocate Smartly specializes in comparing over 75 different published ETF strategies historically back tested with their editorial take on the probability of future returns. Additionally, they have tools that allow you to combine multiple strategies that have the potential to work in different environments. Their site is a good source of potential strategies even if you decide not to use their service.
I have been using a 60%/40% mixtures of two of their strategies each based on completely different principals for part of my investments.
60 % in Bold Asset Allocation- Aggressive
40% in Risk Premium Value = Best Value
1980 to present by their back test 16.6% CAGR 10.3% MDD (10/2008), Sharp 1.24,
Ulcer Performance Index 5.04

And yes, I am fully aware that future returns have virtually no probability of being that good. But both
methods look promising and historically they are uncorrelated.

It’s worth it to me to just getting an email telling me to reallocate.
