I suspect that ................................. "Turtles_Win" is just a shell (cough ... cough) ...company and not the real thing ......... meant to throw off the competition. Clever guy. :)

Well, I guess I know who wins but I like to try to enjoy things along the way. Unfortunately. Complete discipline produces results, but you still die in the end. Anyway, that is the turtles_win inspiration. Obviously for someone other than me. I switch 100% into and 100% out of the market with an amount of money that is significant to me. Basically nuts. But it really, really has worked for me, especially during the 2008/2009 mess, which I largely avoided. I am not all that good in trending markets. I can usually avoid the majority of the huge hits and catch the majority of the upmoves. But I am a chicken at heart. Anyway, this goes along with your probable scenario... It's funny though, the title makes you think it is positive, but the data says that in the intermediate term, jumping in immediately following the big hits is not really that great an approach.
