there many strategies that have been successful in different times and different markets. The best one is of course long term investing & diversification. But proper diversification is the key.
My 2007 allocation:
50% - money market
10% - REITs and Bonds
20% - US Large Caps (growth & value)
20% - International Large Caps (growth & value)
Year to date I am up 3.01%
My lowest point was down 0.57% when all financial markets were down 4% - 10%
I might rebalance in a month based on conditions

The people that make money investing do so by investing for the long term. They build a well diversified portfolio and sit on it. If by trading strategy, you mean day trading, you might as well take your money to Las Vegas because gambling is all it is. At least Vegas gives you free drinks and doesn't charge you commissions on every trade. |

Buying, holding, and not panicking when the market goes down. |

I've had to develop a hybrid using select things from different trading strategies. Essentially a checklist of volume, momentum, technical indicators from charts, fundamentals and the overall trend of the market. It works well if I buy enough stocks because in, say, a bag of 10 stocks that I bought with my model, 3 stay even, 3 lose, but six gain, so the portfolio has a net gain. I rotate stocks in and out and over the long term I gain. |

Feeling Mutual
 |
I study a stock, and find it is a good value, and a sound company that I feel I can hold for at least 1 year.
I buy 100 shares or more, always in lots of 100.
I wait until the stock goes up at least 20%.
I sell a covered call on the stock with a strike price of at least 20% higher than the current price, for at least 20% higher than the current price, with an expiration date of at least 1 year from the date the stock was purchased.
If the stock fails to go up 20% by the strike date, the call expires worthless, I still have the money from selling the covered call, and can sell another covered call. I am ahead 40%.
If the stock drops 20%, I still have the money from selling the covered call, so have made 20%, and can sell another covered call, as I still own the stock.
If the stock sells on the expiration date, I will have made at least 40% on the sale of the stock, plus 20% on selling the covered call, or 60%.
If the stock pays a dividend, I get the dividend.
If the stock drops 40% from the time I sell the covered call, I break even. The stock would have to drop at least 40% for me to lose money. Even then, I only lose if I sell the stock when it is down. I can always wait until the covered call expires and sell another covered call on it, or buy back he covered call very cheap as it drops in price according to the stock price and time remaining until expiration, then sell another covered call when the stock goes back up.
If the stock goes way up, I have not made as much as I could have.
This also prevents me from selling the stock in less than a year, so the gain tax will be the lower long term capital gain tax.
This works really well, but it is a lot of work. I find investing in mutual funds a lot easier. UMREX and UMESX have made me well over 20% per year.
BTW: The long term capital gains tax advantage is a USA thing and may not apply in other countries. |
