Thanks for laying out your system for discussion, it seems to suit you well. I like the fact that you've worked out the details to the point it can be written in computer code. As a way of getting an overall view of things first, these two "macro" descriptions caught my eye: What do I use for cash to buy more stock ? The answer of course is that I use my S&P500 index holdings. Currently it's about 30% of the entire PF. My cash holding is less than 1%. Cash is trash (when you're Investing for the Long Run). ? So about 30% of the PF is currently in SPY and the rest diversified across a number of long stock positions. Does "currently" imply that the SPY position could grow to 100% at times? Could it ever drop to 0%? Maybe a better way to ask this is: What SPY% range have you observed over time? --- My focus is to see a steady growth in that "S&P500 value" of the PF. Growth implies outperformance of the S&P500. In effect, I am using the S&P500 as a "benchmark" instead of the dollar, trying to beat the S&P500 instead of the dollar. ? The stock positions in aggregate have to outperform the S&P over a certain period of time, otherwise why bother with stocks, right? --- ? Before checking out the moving parts in the "Long Run System(c)" (g), is there more to the portfolio layout and operational philosophy? What parts of the big picture am I missing?
