It's amazing the runup that both the American stock market and the <a href="http://andrewjohns.ca/why_invest_in_canada" rel="nofollow">Canadian stock market</a> have had since the trough. Of course, this is much more a factor of just how much they dropped (they have both climbed double digits in this past year).

Gene (above) has a good point - I wouldn't say the market is 100% independent of the economy, but it's definitely not necessarily tightly correlated, and many have pointed out how it is often "ahead."

What I'm saying is that if an investor has decided to hold stocks, they should invest through thick and thin. It is a fair comment that the past decade hasn't been kind to buy-and-hold types. But such periods of lousy returns are not unprecedented. What I'm saying is if investors get excited and pile into stocks after they have run up and freeze up and stay in cash after they have crashed, they are setting themselves up for sure disappointment.

It would appear that you haven't visited my blog. My Canadian 2X ETF models are beating buy-and-holding by 57% annually and my US 2X ETF models are beating buy-and-hold by 64% annually. In both cases, the models are inherently less risky (as measured by the ulcer index) than buying-and-holding. If you go to Covestor, you will see that my Canadian holdings beat the TSX by 39% over the past year. If that's a mistake then I like making mistakes! I have read countless articles about 2X ETF's and how they can move in the opposite direction of the underlying markets. All these articles have been written by people who do not incorporate timers into their analysis and therefore their results cannot be compared to mine. I am aware of the issues with 2X ETF's but my method of investing works very well for me. Fred Mark:
