Patrick - over a few days when you have idle fingers - could you rank the best ETF (top 10 would be great) over a 13, 25 and 37 months. It may be easier to create 3 tables for the 3 periods - it should show the constantly satisfactory performers versus the one hit wonders. It could give us investors some sort of direction the achievers are going but can also use these ETF in our personal portfolios

If you have idle time :))

Made a turbo challenge. See if you can time the market compressing 20 years into 60 seconds using real S&P 500 data: https://theinvestorchallenge.com/games/com_timing.php Would love some feedback please.

That turbo challenge is great for getting a feel for the effect of compounding. Interesting game!

After a few tries I got this: You beat the index, that's pretty rare! Try again to see if you can repeat that.
Beat it at over $68k but only because I remembered when to sell and buy. I would have lost miserably by trying to time the market as you know with my CML. Could have made a cool R12M if I had just stayed in.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Okay so now the Turbo challenge has a leaderboard too, and guess what, I'm in the lead! https://theinvestorchallenge.com/com_stats_turbo.php

 Such a cool game. Much like FX scalping. :TU:

Patrick, how about a little test? Would you be able to throw a MACD indicator on there. Say 3 (Fast EMA), 9 (Slow EMA), 21 (Signal Line). Would be interested to see how performance improves, or not...
