5 59% Over the past 85 years this is the percent of time that the market (S&P 500) has been in a bear market or recovering from a bear market to a previous high for new growth. This FACT alone is WHY we are always diligent in our efforts to avoid significant portions of bearish regimes. Ned Davis research: 74% time recovering from cyclical downturns since 1900.

15 Why can t 95% of mutual funds beat the S&P 500? Why can t ETF s beat the S&P 500? What common characteristics do these under performers possess? Why stock baskets?
16 The Capitalism Distribution Observations of individual common stock returns, % of stocks had a negative lifetime total return (2 out of every 5 stocks are a money losing investment) 18.5% of stocks lost at least 75% of their value (Nearly 1 out of every 5 stocks is a really bad investment) 64% of stocks underperformed the Russell 3000 during their lifetime (Most stocks can t keep up with a diversified index) A small minority of stocks significantly outperformed their peers (Capitalism yields a minority of big winners that all have something in common) The following slides make the case for the Capitalism Distribution, a non-normal distribution with very fat tails that reflects the observed realities of long-term individual common stock returns.
17 An investor s portfolio missed the 20% most profitable stocks between 1989 and Instead, he invested in only the other 80%. His total gain would have been 0%. Eric Crittenden of Longboard funds

22 After stocks the amount of risk that can be diversified away becomes significantly less and less and adding more stocks at this stage: Actually hinders returns more than mitigating risk.

38 TRADING FREQUENCY (individual stock management) AND TAX EFFICIENCY
39 Example of improving the quality of returns with fewer trades
40 IF 2 STRATEGIES BOTH EARN 10% IN A YEAR: Strategy A is 100% taxed at short term rate (40%) Strategy B is 100% taxed at long term rate (20%) 1. Strategy A must earn 33% greater return for equal after tax returns 2. Strategy B can earn 25% less return and have equal after tax returns ***(A simple example)
41 1. Strategy A must earn 33% greater return for equal after tax returns 2. Strategy B can earn 25% less return and have equal after tax returns 100 X dollars long term capital gains (20%) = $8 100 X dollars short term capital gains (40%) = $6 Strategy A $13.33 X.6 = $8 Strategy B $7.5 X.8 = $6
42 An example of capturing long term gains for tax purposes can be found when using a momentum selection criterion in a bullish market regime ($SPX) with the ranking mechanism ROC60* MACD from The average winning percentage was 72%. The average winning trade gained 104.7%. The average winning bars held was 399 days. Conversely, the average losing trade lost -12.3%. The average losing trade bars held was 153 days. There were 116 stock purchases (10 at start of each bullish regime). Of the stocks purchased, 50 were original buys (5 bullish legs), 18 were stock buy outs, and 48 were traded as they met sell criteria during the bullish regime. The appendix specifies the trade dates, holding periods and yearly tax treatment.

47 Quick Review and Take Aways The strategy is a long only strategy using highly liquid stocks from the major indexes The strategy is an active effort to exploit anomalies in a bullish regime through stock basket selection and management. Between 60 and 70% of time the markets are either in a bearish mode (falling) or recovering from one to a new high. One of the most rewarding aspects of negotiating a bearish regime is there is ample liquid assets available to take advantage of the significant mispricing event that presents itself as the new bullish regime initiates. (true value) A significant portion of basket momentum outperformance comes from the avoidance of negative momentum stocks. Indices and ETF s must hold positions while having no consideration for positive or negative performance. Index returns depend heavily on the relatively small set of winners. The top 10 stocks have usually accounted for between 40-60% of the market s total return. The few rule the many. All big winners have a common theme: They consistently exhibited powerful momentum in bullish regimes. There is ample evidence to exploit the momentum effect in bullish regimes with only a limited number of stocks. The more stocks held in each basket (more than ) inhibits return rather than mitigating risk.
48 We have strong evidence of momentum profits increasing as the number of stocks in the portfolio decreases. Owning more than 30 stocks is an unnecessary expense item. Momentum is not enough. The proprietary Trademark algorithms used for momentum enhancement must either improve returns and/or reduce risk in a bullish regime. Simplicity and robustness go hand in hand. The algorithms are applicable for selecting stocks from any index, country, or sector. There is significant offsetting "characteristics when selecting stocks from multiple indices. This offsetting effect occurs both in returns and volatility. Simply, the indexes exhibit different characteristics. The liberal management scheme allows the extended holding periods for the high momentum stocks to achieve long term tax treatment and reduce trading costs. Trading more and using stop loss features usually have a negative effect on returns. The fewer the rules, the simpler the methods, the more likely it will keep working. Become agnostic about the future (IIWII). Follow your management rules.
49 HERE ARE USUAL QUESTIONS: Did you optimize for these returns? Will you be capable of capturing these type returns in the future? What kind of capacity does a portfolio of stocks have? Does trading more give better returns? Rotation system? How sensitive is the start date in achieving these results? How is this strategy different than most stock basket strategies? How do you know when to sell a stock? What are the costs associated with buying individual stocks? Can you use this strategy in a bear market? What are the opportunities for an individual investor? What is the current status of the regime change indicator? Do you have personal money committed to this basket strategy? How long have you been practicing this strategy? Success?

51 CONCLUSIONS This paper finds evidence of: 1. Using a market regime measure can enhance returns, reduce maximum drawdown, and increase Sharpe and Sortino ratios. 2. Momentum profits increase and risk adjusted measures rise as the number of stocks in the portfolio decreases with limited additional volatility. 3. Using algorithm multipliers can significantly add value to basic momentum measures by enhancing returns and/or reducing volatility. 4. Diversification among major indexes enhances returns and reduces volatility. 5. Long term management measures (not calendar rebalancing) enhance tax treatment of returns, minimizes trading costs, and increases capacity.
