  Not wanting to hijack Karens thread, I figured this was the best way contact you.
 I just passed my 80th year, and I've got a bad case of CRS (can't remember sh_t). WIZ seems to be a less complex method of trading. 
 Thx, Graf

 Please start looking for this information
 
 davesaint86 hase used
 WIZ
 Portfolio Vizualizer
 Dual Momentum
 
 https://www.stockfetcher.com/forums/General-Discussion/Portfolio-Visualizer-backtesting/148339
 
 One rule of thumb may be
 50% SPY 50% USMV
  (That's 50% of money you want to put in equities, not 50% of your liquid assets and/or leveraged assets)
 
 Good luck

 There are many retirees in various investment forums.
 Many recommend that we still have to take a look at how our portfolios are doing on a weekly basis.
 Don't blindly entrust your money to any advsior.

 I would like to use JoeyVinyl's excellent ETF Ladder to answer your question about WIZ
 JoeyVinyl's ETF Ladder is very versatile,  easy to customize, and gives a comprehensive
 assessment of risk and return
 
 Here is a really neat look under the hood at  WIZ porfolio as of July 16, 2020

  snappy, 
 No idea.
 But I've read that paid users on some platforms can draw mirror images of their charts.

  I just saw this post about WIZ.
 
 https://www.meetup.com/SectorSurfers/?_xtd=gatlbWFpbF9jbGlja9oAJDM4MWZjOGJjLWNjMzgtNDYyMC1iNDNkLWUwZTBlNjE0NDc4Mg
   
 There is a meetup Wednesday night.  https://www.meetup.com/SectorSurfers/events/271446422/

 There are actually two ETFs.  WIZ and SNUG.  
 
 WIZ - In a bull market WIZ is comprised of 80% Equity ETFs and 20% Bond ETFs.  During Bear Markets the allocations can go to 100% bonds or Gold for example.  Backtesting, including 2008 shows 22% CAGR.  Remember this is just buying and holding WiZ. 
 
 SNUG - In a bull market SNUG is comprise of 70% Bond ETFs nd 30% Equity ETFs.  Backtesting, including 2008 shows 13% just buying and holding.  This is a new ETF and the volume is pretty low right now.
 
 One can buy a mix of the two based on risk tolerance.  It is my understanding that the ETFs selected at the end of each month come from a universe of 500 ETFs.  The ETFs selection are based on momentum by category and whatever AI method that they use to make the selections.  There is a lot of good information here - https://maiindexes.com/bull-rider-bear-fighter.    The whole premise of WIZ and SNUG is that the work is done for you.  Technically all you have to do is buy and hold.  What I like about the two is that it makes sense to hold them in taxable accounts especially.
