Stock Market Timing Performance Charts
Welcome to our market timing performance charts. Included below are charts of the information on our trades. This information includes both trades that we have actually made and trades that we made only on paper.The first chart will be for trades that are still being held, the second will show trades that we made and that are now closed, the third chart will be trades that fit our criteria, but these trades will only be on paper and the fourth chart will show the results of the paper trades. To take a look at the price charts go to BigCharts.com. You can see when we bought and sold. Please do not take our actions as recommendations for you to buy and sell stocks. I am experimenting with different stock investing systems and am not in any way recomending any system or stocks.

The trades below were made with one particular timing system. Results were not bad, but I did not like using this system.

These last three purchases were bought and then went down immediately. I decided not to stop them out at a loss since the market has been moving up and down so much. We'll wait and see if I can get out of these two ETF's at a profit over the next couple of weeks.

* They say you have to learn from your mistakes and I learned something from these two trades. I was away from a computer on March 11th so I had set a stop/limit loss on these two ETF's, but they opened under the lower stop limit and did not sell. Thus, I held the ETF's while the price continued to drop for the entire day. What did I learn? The next time I'll be away from a computer for the day I'll either sell and take profits or set the stop without a limit.
