Kirk,

The question is, will he beat buy n hold? From Jan01 1987 to Dec31, 2000 the answer is a loud no

You can pick a time period to validate or invalidate any timing theory that you choose. So I don't think your statement, taken by itself, is enough to invalidate the strategy. It would take more analysis.

I wish he tracked his performance with the QQQ advice

That's fair game. But I really view two different Bob's. There's Bob the conservative, principled long term investor who gives guidance in the newsletter and on the air.

Then there's Bob the trader who takes advantage of short term movements but plays his cards close to the chest. This is the Bob that made the CTR call. It's the more aggressive Bob, the one who gambles on the ponies and takes a risk in individual stock plays. This Bob has only recently decided to come out and play with us and we really don't know what tricks he has up his sleeves yet.

RE: "The question is, will he beat buy n hold?"

I suspect the answer to this question always depends upon the measurement time frame chosen.
