Thanks Jim and FlyingCircus
I am looking for a system that can average about 10% with low drawdowns.
My emotions like many make me jump out with fear once the market pulls down.
I would like to stay with an Spy, RSP, Or QQQ, and if possible get 1 year long term capital gains. If not long term one year gains, stay invested while feeling somewhat safe,not to lose a lot, during shorter time spans.

I know one idea is to barbell, and just put a smaller amount in stocks, and other in very safe investments, cash,money market, bonds,etc.

Any suggestions of conservative, low drawdown strategies, appreciated.
