OT: Wordpress and PHP5

I might as well share this and maybe save someone else the headaches that I had to put up with. Wordpess and php5 does not work with sites with posting the size that this size does. Turns out that it is not really a Wordpress bug, but a PCRE/php5 issue.  Increasing pcre.backtrack_limit in php.ini from 100000 to 10000000 did the trick.

Another benefit seems that the sight is running faster.

No more php4 cgi for me!

Weekly Trade Ledgers 10/20/2008

Bill2m’s most excellent weekly ledgers.

Here are the YTD (and TTM) summaries of the weekly trade ledgers.

In these ledgers, Keelix’s SIPRO screens are further filtered to include only FOLIOfn tier 1 window stocks. The mghens and kaellner screens are evaluated as published by them.

The actual data spreadsheet which contains the weekly totals for all the screens, beginning 11 Jan 2002, can be downloaded from http://dogwood2202.googlepages.com/home2
This can be used to look back over any time period after Jan 2002, including the current year if you simply set the baseline to 31 Dec 2007. Continue reading ›

Quantitative Tactical Asset Allocation


http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=962461

          EFA  GSG  IEF  IVV  IYR %Cash

10.17.08   no   no   no   no   no  100
10.10.08   no   no   no   no   no  100
10.03.08   no   no  yes   no   no   80
09.26.08   no   no  yes   no   no   80
09.19.08   no   no  yes   no  yes   60

Things of note: The 5 assets are: international equities (EFA),
commodities (GSG), US Treasuries (IEF), US equities (IVV), and
US REITS (IYR). Your portfolio is divided equally among the 5 assets,
20% each. The decision to move in or out is based on a 10 month
look back monthly SMA.

A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation

This pdf talks about a simple timing method.

To over simplify you buy when price is over the 10 month SMA (approximation to the 200 day SMA) sell when it is bellow.

This seems interesting to me because I use the YLDEARNYEAR2 4 HTD 10 as one of my screens. There are a few dogs coming down the pike  because as as prices go down, their yield goes up.

This spoke to me because I am not a propeller head when it comes to stocks.

FOG_MI
H52EgPS
H52EgPSlta

Hopefully the run on the stock market will be over. I am tired of drinking cheap scotch on a dirty linoleum floor.
