Default Re: Winning Strategies

Interest Rate/Moving Average/ NASDAQ strategy

This next strategy proves using interest rates as buy or sell indicator can lead to market beating returns.

This strategy is very simple to use, a buy signal is given when the FED lowers interest rate, and the NASDAQ is above, or crosses above a 22 week moving average. When the FED begins to raise interest rates, the NASDAQ position will be sold and the money moved into a money market fund.

That simple strategy resulted in a 5.7% annual return higher than the S&P500, and for 28 years! And with half the risk, since you are out of the market approximately 50% of the time.


1973 to 2001......annual return.....10K becomes
