The SQI-Indicant beat buy and hold for the
QQQQ-ETF by 178.9% from March 1999 through August 2004. That is because the
Indicant avoids bear cycles while the buy and hold investor endures the
bear cycles.
By the end of the Indicant's trading cycle on
August 12, 2004, the buy and holder's $10,000 investment shriveled to
$6,361 while the Indicant's $10,000 investment grew to $17,744 before
commissions and taxes. That is a 178.9% Indicant advantage over buy and
hold. All Indicant models are dedicated toward avoiding bear cycles and
beating buy and hold for any investment.
