Discussing the subject not the article[edit]

Has anyone tried this or know of any studies about this? Like what the return % is?

Like the "dogs of the Dow" and other "magic" formulas from the past, one can expect this formula to get arbitraged away. Therefore I would say it doesn't really matter. Hanxu9 (talk) 19:07, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the formula ? I can not find it in this article . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.69.184.165 (talk) 08:33, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MagicDilligance[edit]

This site is unreliable, they appear to be changing their past performance numbers, and don't provide detailed spreadsheets with buy recommendations and given dates, so that the numbers can't be verified. Indeed they may be editing Wikipedia to match their changing numbers. Thus, removed entirely from Wikipedia as an unreliable source, and recommend potential users to use their service with caution.

Please consider updating the performance section[edit]

The article features a performance claim from a 2005 speech. Surely there is newer data available, would be interesting to see how the strategy fared during the financial crisis for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.47.148.33 (talk) 15:42, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes there is. You can take up-to-date performance data from the AAII website where they track all the major investment strategies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.252.76.7 (talk) 23:27, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
