S&P 500 Trend Investing easily beats a Buy and Hold approach.

Suppose you invested $10,000 in an S&P 500 index fund in October 1992. You just kept the fund; you just Buy and Hold. 18 Years later, your ten thousand dollars would have become $28,262. Nice, but with only 6 trades in 18 years of this same index fund you could have done much better.

Stock Trend Investing reviews every month for you the trend in the S&P 500 and a number of other US indices like the Dow Jones, the NYSE and the NASDAQ. Based on this analysis, we provide the Trend Investing community monthly with our conclusion on if we buy, hold or sell our US index funds.

A Return of 394% in 18 Years

With the Stock Trend Investing approach, your $10,000 in October 1992 would have turned into $49,438 in October 2010. That is a return of 394% in 18 years. If you would have just bought and hold, you would have missed out on $21,176… for every $10k invested.

To get the return of 394%, only 7 trades were needed in 18 years: One in the beginning and 6 after that. That is not a lot of trading, isn’t it? Making good returns does not need to be complex. You can invest smart and simple.

6 Trend Investing trades result in a 212% higher return than Buy and Hold.

Please be aware that you do not achieve this result by buying exactly at the lowest points and selling at the highest points during the last 18 years. If you could do that, you could make more money. But you can’t. Nobody can. You would have to be able to predict the future.

212% More Return than with Buy and Hold

We cannot predict the future either. We make an analysis every month. Most of the times, reality turns out in line with our expectations. Sometimes reality turns out to be different. As a Trend Investor, you need to accept that. In that case you make a quick correction. The losses you make at that moment are insignificant compared to your long term profit.
