okay
well then you have to back up the race car and work it around the track slowly

so what prompts the buy to hold to get the OTC return of 375% versus using the "otc signal"
and what does OTC stand for

Total Return %
"Hold" means buy and hold.
"Signal" means using this OTC signal

OTC hold 375%
OTC signal 989%

Fred,

You really have something there. If I understand you correctly, using your system you have a 3:1 return rate over a buy and hold in an index mutual fund back testing ten years. This could be a terrific thing for 401K investing as the conventional wisdom is that the market is impossible to time. I've gone to cash/money market or treasury fund several times with mixed results.

Please post as many details as you feel comfortable.

And thanks for your explanation of convertible debt an its implication on short interest.
