MVPSignalSystem: Mb/Barry spreadsheets

Hi Steve, I looked at Barry's spreadsheet today at the Stock Owl Yahoo Group and think I saw recent trade losses in the 7-10% range (maybe I was looking at it wrong). Also, was thinking Mb's results (100% YTD return - which differ from Barry's spreadsheet) are based on a 50% YTD return x 2 - for trading Profunds ETFs like QLD-QID?

I was tracking various systems with this spreadsheet - http://tinyurl.com/36n9ky - and also trading Drewster's signals until about a month prior to the last documented Drewster signal in my spreadsheet. The signals became really choppy and out of sync with the market and it was coming down to 50-50 odds of success which seemed too risky to me. And, about 2 months later, Drewster would issue occassional emails to his Yahoo Group subscribers about difficulties his signals were having.

After I stopped maintaining my spreadsheet, I didn't know how Drewster's signals performed after that - but I did know by then that they could be frustrating. However, I also therefore took my eyes off your MVP signals didn't know how well they performed after that (I'm now trading MVP signals based on MVP performance I missed out on).

Ken, there seems to be a new twist. There is a huge gap between Barrys spreadsheet and Mb's numbers, but Mb is using different vehicles.

Barrys spreadsheet at the stockowl group, updated thru 12/7 , paints an entirely different picture.

I don' have the time to go research it, just an observation.
