是从每个月的第一天回看前3个月的回报还是?
The first is a switching strategy, which always switches to the ETF that had the best performance during the previous 3 months. This really simple switching strategy between TLT and SPY gave you a 14.8% return during the last 10 years, with twice the Sharpe ratio (return to risk) ratio of a simple SPY investment.
Another strategy would be to invest 50% of your money in SPY and 50% in TLT and do a monthly rebalancing. This gave you 8.8% return during the last 10 years.
The original author's 2 strategies are actually opposite, the first one is kind of momentum investing, the second one is kind of mean reversal (pay attention to monthly re-balancing) . As the author pointed out, the first one performed better in a trending market, the second one performed better in a side-way market.
As far as I know, we are in a side way market now. The second will perform better IMHO...
