Yes, investing, rather that trading, is what most should stick to, but
there are ways to time and beat the Market. An example is MIRAT. From
April 11, 1978 through today, November 21, 1997, MIRAT returned 3,914.28%
versus a Buy and Hold of the DOW 30 Industrials yielded only 923.20%. In
other words, MIRAT gave Timing Traders 323.96% more than Investors received.
Several times since this list serve started you have mentioned the need
for most to invest rather than trade and I have to agree with you that most
should do that, but there are alternatives for traders to leverage the
power of the Market.
