Yes, 2015 was a big let down. That is why I don't think anyone is still following it in 2016 even with its comeback.
If anyone out there is still following this system please post a reply here to let us know.
So LMBF says to not follow it in 2015?

Wow, our methods are really on fire this year. They are close to all making up for last years big loss. Will this continue through the Summer months? We'll have to wait and see. As for now you can see that our methods are still in the top ten on the AutoTracker. Don't get too excited. There is only one direction to go from the top.
Notice that we are finally getting some divergence as CI>S remained in the S Fund this month instead of following most of the heard into the I Fund and SIM will now be in the F Fund through October. We'll have to see which one made the better choice.

If you are going to make a change be aware that TSP is going to be down for maintenance from 1:00 A.M. Sat to 6:00 A.M. Tues. It's either hurry up or wait.

Looks like our systems are still going strong. All of them are beating any of the individual funds. CI>S really made out this month by going with the S Fund which just happened to be the winner.
