Actually, if you back test VV strategies with more than a couple of stock picks, the system works pretty well. With a choice of 10 stocks, in fact, it works very well: very substantial portfolio gains can be seen. The problem -- as I see it, anyway -- is that I can only choose one or two of the VV picks to buy; and I've been burned a number of times because the high VST stocks fizzle out. Secular stagnation takes over many of those high VST stocks which don't succumb to profit takers, and those stocks can lose LOTS of money before VV signals a Hold or Sell.

On balance, though, I think that buying low and selling high is likely to be a safer strategy than buying high and selling higher.

Thanks for your post. I enjoy this Forum and posts like yours very much.
