Well, it would be hard to find a method, including random action, that didn't produce strong gains over relatively lengthy test periods, if applied to going long equities post-'87 up to the year 2000.

Basically, the Coppock Curve as described works as a very long-term moving average oscillator. If you're content with average market gains from periods following obvious extreme market lows, and you trust that the market will "always" recover, and you trust further that average gains from long-term equity investments will exceed gains from other vehicles or methods, then, sure, buy the big dips. It's basically LTB&H with a bit of conjunctural opportunism - a time-honored method, almost more a philosophy. You don't need a churchgoer's TA or any other mathemagical method to hit upon it.
