Hi , I am working with what, to use your term, could be defined as a "good call". This "good call" concept and the traditional " Buy and Hold" strategy modified do exactly what you apparently know can be done as you said: " Now I know someone can make 2-3 good calls on a market and then buy/hold to beat the market, but no system will beat it in the long run". For the sake of clarity let say this: You know that making the "good call" combined with buy/hold will beat the market. I assume when use the term beating the market you mean it in the traditional sense (S&P 500). Yes? So what is on the table here is at least one other question. Will a player with the option to make a good call or calls plus the option to buy/hold systematically beat buy/hold over a period of time (15-20 years)? Thoughts?
