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.

if you are going to use these in combination or alone to create a trading system you've completely missed the point of my post.

Agreed. If I understood your post correctly, you said that although NH-NL did help avoid the 2022 bear market, it stayed bearish too long, and did not get you back in early enough to capture all the bull market gains of 2023. And your main point was that "it has its uses, but you have to understand it well before using it for your investing." Which, of course, I agree with.

Also, as a practical matter, most investors don't sell completely out of stocks and go 100% to cash, due to the hefty taxes they would incur in taxable accounts.
