Closing Out 2010 with 10 Things that Mattered Most to Readers

30Dec10

Another year is almost in the books.

It’s been five years since I birthed MarketSci and over two years since I started this blog, and I still live in a perpetual state of being fascinated, frustrated, and enamored with these markets (and that’s a good thing).

I made three big changes to my portfolio this year: (a) accounting for seasonality biases in my short-term trading, (b) incorporating market-neutral pairs-trading (with our new PWB strategy) to reduce daily beta exposure, and (c) creating a true “generational strategy” (with our new TAA model) for my long-term wealth goals.

In short, I’ve been branching out from the pure short-term active trading I’ve relied on for the last five years into other conceptually-different strategies.

Last but not least, here are the 10 things we talked about in 2010 that mattered most to readers (based on the number of reads and comments):

Monthly Seasonality Maps

Tactical Asset Allocation

VIX-based Pairs Trading Strategy

Sources of Free Historical Data

Debunking Haldane’s Momentum Strategy

Measuring the Consistency of a Strategy

The Best 2-Day Indicator

Kaeppel’s Sector Seasonality Strategy

Ramblings on the State of Short-Term Mean-Reversion

The Golden Cross (Redux)

Here’s to more BIG things in 2011!

Happy Trading,

  3. A great year, Michael, at least as judged by the quality of the content on your blog. Regarding the seasonality material, I can’t tell you how many people I have sent here to review your monthly calendars who have come back with very favorable comments.

    Best of luck for a happy and profitable 2011,

    -Bill

    Michael,
    Many thanks for sharing your work. I have been interested in technical analysis for years and your articles continually offer me new ways of looking at and improving my own approach.

    So, I wish you continued success in 2011,

    JCF
