Evidence is important. I have the lists from the lists conception in 2003 to present. I just ran a test with "All Start Days" -- 21 start dates -- and a hold of the top ten positions for 4 weeks. The results for this full period are: 1. The strategy peaked on 5/10/2006 and bottomed on 3/11/2009. 2. The compound annual growth rate was 5.4%. The S&P 500 has a CAGR of 5.52% over the same period. 3. The Geometric Standard Deviation, however, was double that of the S&P 500 at about 46, compared to 23 for the SP500. 4. Daily Maximum Drawdown was -75% -- you most definitely do need a way to get out of the market during bearish periods. Holding these ten stocks when the market is tanking will kill any allegiance you may have to stock trading. You’re right. Evidence is important.

We are getting over 500 new highs some days. It is therefore now more difficult to pick out the true winners. But a rising tide raises all ships! I have had a very profitable run riding TYH. If one can accurately pick the onset of an up-trend, TYH is the way for me. Plenty: PEGA, EMS, SXCI, LZ to name a few I own. We are getting over 500 new highs some days.
