Monkey Throw Dart: Consolidation Blues

Consolidation Blues

It's no real surprise that the CMI says to buy the QID at tomorrow's open. (Notice that the bear is back in the left sidebar). I will update the YTD gains this weekend. Hopefully the market will find some direction over the next few weeks so that the CMI has something to follow rather than whipsawing back and forth.

The CMI 2.0 is hedging on a QID trade but another day of confirmation is needed. I guess after a 120% gain, it's due for some mediocre trades.

Here's what's coming up over the next few blogging days:

Expect more insightful graphs for the CMI 2.0. If you want to know where your 2005 10k investment would be after 5 years of CMI 2.0 trades, you will find out.

You will see a frequency graph of winning and losing trades. This will give you more confidence after suffering a few losses and reinforce the need for a system that you can trust over the long haul.

I will look back at what the monkey dart hit. Some of the results of my past individual stock picks will be revealed. This could give some indication of what could work for you for the upcoming year. Even I was surprised at some of the results. With a bull year like this, even a baboon could pick a few winners.

Also, I will look ahead to the upcoming year and the future of monkeythrowdart. I may even have a long term 2010 pick of the year.
