There is too much money

Not only is there too much money, it is over valued, it is scared except for the smart money which is on it's way to take over the world leaving the dumb money to wake up some day but it will be too late.  The dumb money is like the mob and the smart money is going to conquer because it has the big computers with the big data, dumb money has consumer technology the big data sells them so the dumb money will be decimated and only the very agile who can leap to new heights will survive.

Stop watching TV and surfing the internet and get to work investing in your self, get educated and then get more education.  Be an expert at more than more thing.  Keep learning and be smart about what you do so that you have a full healthy wealthy life and make the world a better place for all.

OK time to chill out by watching the TV.

Try this out your self

Use a free stock data source like finance yahoo and record from the dates , first trading day in October and April, the opening prices of a bond fund and a small cap fund.

The two I like are IWM and TLT.   Write them down and then use the data for a hypothetical set of trades.  Take a starting point like 1/10/2009 as the entry to buying IWM and the exit first day in April the market is open. Repeat each year and record the results.

Now the April date record TLT price as an entry and the exit first trading day the next October.  Do the math and repeat for each year.

The 2008 into 2009 was not good for this simple investing strategy but starting 1/10/2009 all trades were closed with a gain.

What did you come up with?
