Buy and Hold vs. Moving Average ETF Investing 4-9-10

Six weeks and counting with markets moving higher. S&P 500 was up another 15+ points for the week. Our two investors continue to make money without doing a thing. While we're excited, we feel a little anxious as well. Eventually this rally will cool, but how severe will the correction be?
