Here's an updated chart of the S&P 500 compared to my Timing System:
Timing Chart.jpg
Note that for every $100 invested in the "Stock Market" (S&P 500, i.e. C Fund), your account would only be worth $87.31.
The same $100 invested in the "Stock Market", but using a good Timing System, would now be worth $187.14. That's more than TWICE the return of "Buy & Hold", and it's done with about 1/3 LESS risk. (Less risk and higher returns is the holy grail of investing).
If you ever hear someone say that it's impossible to time the market, feel free to direct them here, or to my website. I'll be glad to enlighten them.
To your success,
John Ross

Hey Intrepid_Timer!
Yeah, I put together a site this year, thinking I could make a little money. So far it's been a lot of work, and very little reward. Help me out... I'm thinking of giving away my information (like I do here at TSPTalk), and just let advertising pay the bills. What do you think? I hate trying to sell my system, even though I think it's pretty darn good.
Thanks,
John

I noticed in your charts you show no little gains or drops in the blank areas. Do you use stops on the down and no activity until the next buy? We can't stop right at the lose point. Our trades are at market close and your chart shows cutoffs at the same amount of loss which happen during a trading day. We can't do this.
Don't bias your charts. Show support and resistance. My comments and charts are not trading recommendations.
When a "Sell" signal is given, I go to a cash position (G Fund, which is somewhat equivalent to a money market fund). Most money market funds typically pay about 0.1%. I just assume a zero percent return, hence the flat line. Your actual returns would be higher.
When a sell signal is given, it's usually at the end of the day. I make my TSP transfer before 12:00 Eastern time, usually the following day. Typically, the market has fallen somewhat, and that's the reason the system has triggered a sell signal in the first place.
Not that I am aware of. Whether you worked for the Feds or had a TSP account yourself doesn't matter to me. You manage your wife's TSP, that should be good enough for anyone who has concerns.
The way I look at it, you are providing good information for those of us with no set investment strategy.
Keep us posted on your moves.
Didn't see that post. Interesting economics that you are "giving away" your info, but hey, knock yourself out. Too bad you didn't join up before the big drop though he?
Have fun!

The Coming Derivatives Crisis That Could Destroy The Entire Global Financial System
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-coming-derivatives-crisis-that-could-destroy-the-entire-global-financial-system
Good post to learn the basics of the derivatives market, and how it could blow up in our face....
Not speaking for anyone else here, but I doubt it would be a problem as long as you just conform to the rules. I would just make your own thread and under that if you wanted you could post daily, weekly etc updates (many people already do this) as far as advertisements, now your basically talking about starting a new tsptalk style website and I doubt that would get much attention from folks here (we get lots of good free advice on this website already) But hey!, if its something you really enjoy doing and you think you have a great idea then hell its a free world and noone's stopping you so....go for it!
Just a lil o'l fishegg floatin around in this big ocean!
