Performance

Below we track the stock market performance in the lunar red and green periods (more details).
We base it on the most basic strategy: buying stocks at the end of red period and selling them at the end of green period. Daily Nasdaq
closing prices are used.
Since the start of this blog (in summer 2009) the Nasdaq has gained a total of 5478 points in our lunar green periods, versus a
cumulative rise of 349 points in the lunar red periods (when more weakness is expected). So, it continues to work well. Here is the
complete history:
