Moving Average Crossover Strategy Shows 6.9% Annual Return in Backtest
The moving average crossover approach generates mechanical buy or sell signals when a fast and a slow average intersect. Common pairings include 9/21 EMA for short‑term trades, 20/50 SMA for swing trades, and the classic 50/200 SMA Golden Cross for long‑term trends. Backtests of the Golden Cross from 1960 to present delivered a 6.9% annual return.
Keurig Dr Pepper posted a strong Q4, with revenue rising 10.5% to $4.45 billion and earnings beating forecasts. The company secured an additional $1.5 billion in preferred equity, lifting total preferred funding to $4.5 billion and eliminating the need for a partial IPO. Institutional investors remain heavily weighted, owning about 94% of shares and buying at a 3‑to‑1 ratio. Management reaffirmed a 5% currency‑neutral growth outlook for the core business and is on track to split into two pure‑play companies.

Don't like the Yomeishu Seizo takeover at ¥4,050/share? I wrote 4-Jan-26 this wasn't worth owning. It was Murakami-owned (Yuzawa is Murakami (see 2nd pic)) and he would act in his own interest, and therefore ¥4,021 was a floor price. I...
