Did i miss the party or can i still ask Tom a question? Q: What about dividends? Although yields are low, should we adjust for the payment date of them?

Hi Jan, Question for Tom, I understand that your weekly momentum stuff is proprietary but that it is close to the crossing of a 5 week and a 1 week moving average. Is that roughly correct? If I understood your book correctly, the "typical" length of time between RS Signals is usually around 2-2.5 years. This is why you suggest in your book that we look for stocks that have given a relatively new signal. It will increase our odds. Does this also hold true for weekly momentum. For example: If there were two companies that looked good and were identical except for the length of time that momentum was +, would you evaluate them differently? For example, one has been + for a week, and the other for 12 weeks. Is my guess that the "typical" stock holds a direction for around 6 weeks correct. Longer? Shorter?
