Since the beginning of this year I have thought that I had created the best market timer ever. The only problem was that it could only make a profit on the planet Htrae, better known as Bizarro World. That's the place where good is bad, up is down, and right is wrong. That must mean that on planet Htrae, their Federal Reserve must actually promote a free market and work for the good of all primates.
The MensaMonkey 2013 may be the greatest market timer ever, you just have to reverse all the trading signals. In MM's defense, there was one lively QLD trade that resulted in a small profit. I bring that up now because MM has hit the accelerator pedal, dropped the PSQ and has gone straight for the 2x QLD after too many hits on the support level du jour...and didn't even wait for a new S&P high.
I could simply reverse polarity, and hope for the best but I'm not quite ready to throw out the logic baby with the logic bathwater quite yet.
Now it looks like I have to find some good reasons to promote the sudden bullish inclination and "dumb money" position of the MM. But in Bizarro World, dumb is really smart, right?
