The DIA-IEF Double Switch: One Of The Safest And Laziest Strategies - SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA:DIA) | Seeking Alpha
Here is an outstanding article by Fred Piard about a two-stock plan where you can make a safe 12% return each year, and you could have made 7% in the terrible bear year of 2008 when a lot of people were down more than 50%. Plan B of Fred's article advised a person to hold DIA, the Dow 30, during March, April, November, and December. These are the usual momentum months of the stock market. Then, hold IEF, the 10-year bond ETF, during all of the other months. This sounds like a good plan to me for at least part of your portfolio. We are also entering a market top period when general stock markets gains will probably be meager compared to Fred's plan.
