Back in 1994-95 Tom sent out a message to AIM readers and it was along this same line of thought.He said, "with mutual funds the change makes for dramatic performance improvements."

20th Century Ultra Fund

10%Sell, 10%Buy..........: 10. 0.......... : 10. -9

...... Value $38,475............ 48,619.......... 66,381
........%Cash 71%............. 60% .............. 38%

"as you can see, AIM strictly by the book was up 285% and very conservative with 71% of its assets in cash. With 10% for selling and 0% for buying the portfolio jumps up 386% with 60% cash. Then the most radical move without running out of cash completely is shown in 10% sell SAFE and minus 9% buy SAFE with the results being 564% with a still healthy 38% cash reserve. Please note that the extra gain comes with additional risk." Tom however went on to say that he uses the middle choice for most of his portfolios. I hope this helps answer your question.
