The simplest market timing system - with the only prerequisite being that one must have basic reading skills - is to buy a broad index ETF and to stay invested for as long as its 50dma remains above the 200dma. Over time, you'll get market returns, maybe even better, while avoiding major drawdowns. Don't have them handy, but there are some long term back tested studies to this effect. This would beat by far the big majority of active managers (of all philosophies).

Leaves one plenty of time to stick around and to post on LB's board... :)
