    Heard your interview with Tom Lydon. I appreciate his strategy however it does not work! Try it.

    I checked it out with several ETFs including some that have come down a lot recently.

    His strategy that I have used was as follows.

    1. If price is less than 8% of it is peak Sell
    2. Buy if it is above the 200 day SMA

    Come on let's get some strategies that are based on real data.

    In most case a 25% below peak works better, for example - Try it.

    Hi Ninan,

    We've been using this strategy for years, and it's saved us and our clients from some big losses. If implemented and adhered to, this strategy works.

    Setting a stop-loss of 25% would only eat more into your returns - instead of losing 8%, you'd be losing 25%. Not much fun!
