Comparing Proshares QLD/Cash Model Against TimingCube

September 20, 2008

The folks at TimingCube have a button on the left side of their homepage which indicates that they are ranked #1 over one year by the nice people at TimerTrac. For the fun of it, I thought I would compare one of my Proshares QLD models against TimingCube. To be fair, I’ll use my QLD/Cash model for the comparison.

TimingCube’s signal returns are here. If you followed the TimingCube Nasdaq 100 model starting on August 01, 2006, by August 18, 2008 you would be up by 2.4% less commissions. My Proshares models start on August 02, 2006 so if you invested following the QLD/Cash model starting on that day you would be up by 96.9% less commissions by August 18, 2008. Of course, this isn’t quite an apples to apples comparison given that my model uses a double exposure ETF and would therefore likely carry higher risk. I’ll leave it to my readers/subscribers to determine if the difference in return (96.9% vs 2.4% over two years) is warranted by the increased risk.
