...This blog tracks a model used to identify favorable trends in the stock market in conjuction with the " Slow Trades Sector Portfolio " blog ( click below under " MY BLOG List" ).
An index investing model whose trading signals utilize the QQQQ and QLD ETFs. The composition of the model diversifies risk across 4 robust quantitative "components" which have proven their profitability in a consistent and stable manner over a period of decades. The model's consistency has been achieved by having no or minimal equity exposure in the market during big down years but also during some periods of "overly speculative" upward price movement. Spotlighting one unique attribute of this model is that, over the 4 decades in generating it's returns, the LT model has had an average equity exposure to the market of just 45% with maximum drawdowns ( MAE ) of less than -10%.
