Investors tend to adopt one of two styles, those who trade “technically”, and those who trade on “fundamentals” (a.k.a “value investors”).

Bloodhound’s leading investment strategy has now averaged more than 50% for 22 years. The 11 public strategies are averaging 48%
The highest of Bloodhound’s eleven Public strategies is up 56% by June 6, and seven already up over 30%, so the year looks promising and it’s worth thinking how you keep hold of your gains.
This is the June performance summary of the 11 investment strategies in our Public Strategy list with YTD performance at June 1, and the average performance for each one for the last 22 years since 1987.
That is a Jan 4 headline in the NY Times Sunday Business section. It is an interesting article and we entirely disagree with it.
Among the strategies in our database of 170,000 are some that never lost money; some that made money in 2008, and some that perform extremely well over the long term.
One example, Sample_5 in our public library, has maintained 30% on a portfolio of 20 stocks for the last 20 years; in that time it has been down only twice, when the SP500 index has not only failed six times, but has also produced just 8%. Sample_5 is a buy-and-hold strategy, whose rules mean that you make your trades on January 1st of each year, and then you only trade when Bloodhound tells you to.
