I call this strategy Dogs of The Season (DOTS). The season I'm referring to is the period from autumn to spring during which I hold stocks. From spring to autumn I hold cash.
I use technical analysis to determine exact dates in autumn and spring to buy and sell stocks.
Don't be scared to use this (or any) strategy because of one bad season. There's no reason to believe that the strategy has stopped working - just the probability that the next seasons will be above average is increased.
OK, now I know when to buy and sell stocks, but which ones? Here comes my stock selection process which chooses fundamentally strong companies from Barron's 400 Index that meet certain criteria. If you want to find out more, you will have to contact me or wait for my book ☺.
