Great post. A couple questions:

1. Stop losses seem to work [1]. Would it make sense to update your strategy accordingly -- even on indices?

2. Research from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania [2] shows that the buy-and-hold returns of the 500 original firms outperformed the returns on the continually updated S&P 500 index. Could we push the low-stress model a step further and buy the content of current indices instead of the indices themselves?

Thanks for sharing this info! I'll look into it.
