Subject: Re: Chart: timing with Nas100 RS screen
Worth noting that the three major time outs were during the periods as expected but held us out for longer periods(years) than expected.

Yes.

What you can't see in the chart is the many periods that you were OUT for only 1 or 2 months. Also the periods where you were IN for one month in the middle of a long period of being OUT.
Those whipsaws could be exhausting and get you to throw in the towel.

For this screen you need both nerves of steel and the patience of a saint. Tough combination.

In actuality you would not sit in cash during the out periods, but switch to a short-term income thing like SGOV or BIL or NEAR or ICSH.

Hard to explain to the spousal unit that you are investing in a great thing that doubles your money every 3-4 years but for the last 2 years you're sitting in a MMF earning 2%.
