Karw,
That conclusion on the mixed fund is about the same I hear about all mixed funds: Ergo. . .nothing new. That does not mean I think the fund is not a good one though. . it may well be.
In finding a simpler way of doing something I can remember something similar in the discussion on how I developed the Multiplier "M" in my Vortex AIM
M=1/(1-f) -------> "f" is the aggression factor: f < 1 *
for (Trade Amount) = M*(PC-V)
I sweated "peas & carrots" on figuring out hoe to eliminate the Residual Buy in the Lichello buy Formula and discovered a series expansion that ended up, for and infinite sum of additions
SUM= 1/(1-f).
Then shortly after I proudly explained how I got it Qarel, the other Dutchlander on this forum, showed us a simple short algebraic equation by which the same result was found! I was really surprised (to put it mildly) that his equation was so brilliantly simple.
PS
* If f > 1 the formula works as well, but it would be bit counter-intuitive at first:
1) It would give a Sell Advice when prices are dropping---> Great for Enron-Type investments :-)
2 It would give a Buy Advice if prices are rising----> Great for investments in a strongly rising market (or for insiders) :-)
3) With f=1000 or so it will give a Hold Advice for B/H investors.
So, simply by selecting the appropriate "f-value" Vortex does the right thing for anyone :-)
The irony of this is that one should already know ahead of time what he want to do and if he does then he does not need an AIM-program to make money with investing. . . all he needs then is to "be in touch with the underlying equities" and shoot from the hip...like a John Wayne. . .or else like a Lucky Luke!
