Re: Even if someone has the stomach to hold thru thick and thin they still won't come close to double the S&P.

I'm not expecting double, I'm expecting outperforming, at least while the market is heading higher.

I have stated on a number of occasions that I will cut losses short. Nothing we own is buy, hold and forget about it. If I have to adjust due to market conditions, I'll adjust, and I expect I will have to do so at some point. It comes with the territory when looking for growth and market beating performance.

There's a reason most "growth" investors can't beat the market on a consistent basis, it's because they don't take advantage of momentum and weight their portfolios accordingly.

DGI folks should ignore this comment because DGI is an entirely different strategy.

I believe it isn't twice the long term return, it is twice the daily return. Right? Because returns are a geometric sequence, the two are not equivalent.

I'm honestly not certain how it would behave across a bear market, but it was founded in 2006 so ought to be able to figure that out. PortfolioVisualizer has been nerfed for the free version.
