Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
I'm sorry, my reading of Hussman is different. Hussman may be "lamenting" that what he think should happen is not happening "soon enough". Then he claims it WILL happen because historically the odds in the favor of his argument.
The blogger IMHO is simply using Hussman's name to validate the theory that one should trade around the 200 DMA line. Sure, why not? But then why take Hussman's name in vain?
Hussman looked brilliant until a few years back. Now his funds seem to be "cracking". And it will no doubt become news. I vote we pick on Bill Miller and his stock picking "prowess".
AFAIAC, I have decided to take on manager risk and then distribute it amongst managers. Market Risk is for the birds. Find 10-20 managers and stick with them. I've stuck with John Montgomery. I will stick with Hussman (not like its been a terribly long time for me).
My reading of the blog article is different. While Hussman in his early life advocated 200 day SMA, he is now using complicated hedging these days... The author is arguing that if Hussman has actually used 200 day SMA, it would actually yield better results.
