Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[jetlag]

Zeev, why do leaders have to go up quickly to confirm the trend when they are also the last ones to fall when indexes drop?

On a different topic:
I've compared the ROI (small positive %) I made with the stocks I traded "dynamically" this year (swing and day trades, stop losses, etc), to the potential profit I would have made if I kept the same stocks all the way til today (the B&H strategy).
When possible I considered the B&H entry at when stock was bought at comparable levels of the indexes (around 1450 in Nasdaq that is) otherwise when I first bought the stock.

Beleive it or not overall B&H would have given by far better return in my case (there would be small individual losses as well), given the fact I was not present every day in trading and I also missed the local bottoms/tops, etc.

In the dynamic trades category -> around 400 buy/sell operations, with +- +-40 stocks, 80% Nasdaq based.

Of course the first conclusion is I'm a poor "dynamic" trader, but I'd also love to hear someone's else similar analysis if available (this is addressed in general to the board readers, not to Zeev in particular).

All the best/ jet
