Buy and Hold vs. Moving Average ETF Investing(past 12 weeks)
Broken record... the markets moved higher again. This is week number 6 that the Dow and S&P was flat or moved higher. Dow was up about 70, S&P was up about 6. As metioned last week, the Buy and Hold and Moving Average Investor portfolios are now at all time highs.
Our buy and hold ETF investor made about $53 in the balanced ETF portfolio. The moving average investor made about $37 for the week in a similar portfolio.
Here's the weekly update:
(Started in March 2009 with $10,000 in each portfolio)
Moving Average Update
Each week, the moving average investor compares the 50 day MA against the 200 day MA to see if he should sell (or buy) any of the 10 ETFs in the balanced ETF portfolio.
No changes are required this week.
