Starting a trial of Hot Potato investing strategy (vs regular couch potato)
Strategy is to invest 100% in the hottest index over past 12 months. I want to see how it does compared to the regular couch potato strategy (equal amounts in cad, internation, us, bonds)
I started this on Dec 15th 2016. Here is the information I gathered. Canada (VCN) was the winner so I put ~18000 into it.
I will update on or near the 15th of each month. Please note the "hot vs reg" to see the current score.
