Response to a post on the old thread:
Message 13981556
dale sinor, re: "I did a brief analysis of USPIX going back to the beginning of the year and I found that it did better (less) than 2x on NDX up days and very close to 2x on NDX down days. So in general it was a very good way to hedge WITH 1 EXCEPTION. April 18. This was a big NDX down day but the USPIX did not keep up."

My analysis looking at USPIX between two specific dates shows a big deficiency:

QQQ: 2/4 and 5/22 values: 97.1562; 81.625
(down 16%)

USPIX: 2/4 and 5/22 values: 38.74, 41.44
(up 7%)

USPIX should have been up roughly 30%, so it was not a good way to hedge between those two dates. I did not check to see whether this was caused by poor performance on just several days, or it is more distributed among days. But it does not matter to someone who held through the entire period: the end result is what counts.

(apologies for the redundancy to those who read my previous post on this subject--but more specifics given here)

Justa: I like this place already! I hope you can 'lock' the old thread so that it cannot be grafitti'd.
