Market Depth Im sure we all have our views on it personally I try not to let it influence me too much and can be very misleading… Look at Nuh for example at close it sits at 58 buyers for 4 million units and 142 sellers for 14.85 million units. If you just look at the immediate 10 movements for buyers and sellers as commsec shows it actually tells a different story I did the maths and as per screen shot works out to be 39 buyers for 2651 million units and 24 sellers for 1961 million units…. the price rose over 6% today. This is more of a discussion piece I also believe the market depth may be skewed on the sell side due to more stop losses been set than profit limits….

I am thinking of substituting some of my fixed income for a tactical asset allocation strategy. The idea of tactical asset allocation is you can get stock like returns with bond like risk. I will mention Meb Fabers strategy, although I have not decided that is the best one to use. It is very simple. You equal weight 5 asset classes. The s and p 500, foreign developed markets, 10 year US govt. bonds, the goldman sacks commodities index, and the REIT index. On the last day of every month you calculate its 10 month moving average, and if it is above it you stay invested, and if it below it, you go to cash. This strategy has beaten the market, with much lower volatility from 1900 to 2006, when the paper was written, and has beaten the market with lower volatility since then, or post discovery. I also know that things work great in the stock market, until you start using them, and then stop working. I have provided a link to the white paper. It is entitled a quantitative approach to tactical asset allocation. Please read the paper before investing any money. Mebfaber.com This is something that I am actually thinking of doing, so any opinion, even ones that say it is a bad idea are welcome. AAII Boston Chapter
