Buy and Hold vs. Moving Average ETF Investing(past 12 weeks)
Markets finally pulled back. Long over due in my opinion. The Dow lost 247 points and the S&P 500 dropped 24 points. As a result, our two ETF investors lost a pretty good amount of money this past week.
Our buy and hold ETF investor lost over $450 in the balanced ETF portfolio. The moving average investor lost about $300 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.
