Andreas,

Thank you for sharing your efforts.  One of the risks that you must
guard against in such studies, is to make sure that the period that you
use for your back-test is similar to the period during which you will
use the results.  

In particular, be wary of doing back-tests of the long bull market, and
then useing those results in the current transtional (my opinion)
market.

The long bull market had both a strong upward bias and slower group
rotation.

Just my opinion.

John
