Will You Add? - Successful Investing - Avoiding Implementation Shortfalls
Not everything that comes through the mail is valid. Most of the mail I receive--be it through US Post office or my e-mail--is just plain annoying. Still, there must be some people, even friends, who assume that I enjoy receiving so much garbage. They do not get it, even when I tell them, that the deletion of such stuff is an imposition on my time.Why do they do it? I think, because someone else has sent it to them to be forwarded to a number of people,
This can be an issue for strategies with frequent trades. Again, Value Investing will suffer less because there are fewer trades so it is less sensitive to exact entry/exit points.
Diversification
After a strategy is highlighted, it is not rare to see it underperforming. A good example is the Dogs of the Dow. The strategy underperformed after it was detailed in the early 90s.

At the rate things are changing in the world it becomes extremely hard sometimes to keep tabs on the latest developments, especially on a global scale.

It’s nice to read or hear about great investing strategies but oftentimes, when you try to implement them, they fail to deliver the superior returns.
Here are some key points to consider to maximize your chance of success when you implement your strategy.
Transaction Costs
Advertised performances seldom take into account trading costs. One reason is that costs will be very different depending on which stock broker you use.
Ensure your Trading Cost is kept under 1%. Reciprocally, always remove a good 1% for transaction costs from any performance numbers you see.
Bid-Ask spread
This is a hidden fee and can be a Killer. It is too easy not to pay attention to: for instance, Bid-Ask spread is not included in Mutual Fund’s Expense Ratios. Very few studies or performances from investment books take it into account.
Bid-Ask spread is larger for small Cap (sometimes in excess of 1%) than for large Cap (usually less than 0.25%).
Turnover rate is also very important.
Value Investing with lower turnover rate and larger market capitalizations will suffer less than Momentum strategies that typically invest in smaller cap and keep stocks for just months, weeks or even days.
For instance, a strategy investing in small cap with 1% average Bid-Ask spread and an annual turnover rate of 300% will loose 1%*300%=3% per year. This is on top of trading costs!
Can you execute the trades?
Most investment strategies assume that you Buy and Sell Stocks at specific time but can you, in practice, buy or sell at that specific time?
How often have you seen Stock Picks recommendations - often on week-ends - but then on Monday it is impossible to execute at the Friday’s price because the share skyrocket 20% at the opening.
Later, the guru proudly announces that his stock pick outperformed but you could not buy at the set price so could not reap the advertised gain.

<Anyone can find a job. That’s right, I said “anyone”. And I meant it. But the caveat is: I didn’t say what kind of job. You can go out and start flipping burgers, and whine about the tough breaks life handed you when your company down-sized, or you can reach higher, and go for that job you really want, and know you have the experience and enthusiasm for.Reaching higher means being on your toes, in every sense of the words.

Many attribute its underperformance to the fact that too much money flowed into the strategy thereby reducing its efficiency. I rather attribute its underperformance to the biggest Bull Market in History where Value Investing was less rewarding than Growth/Momentum.
A take is that every strategy will underperform at some point. This is when your nerves will be at test and when you will be tempted to abandon and switch strategy... only to see it outperform afterwards.
The simple solution – highly recommended - is to diversify with 2 or more investing strategies.
Since then, the Dogs of the Dow has been outperforming the Dow Jones and the S&P500 since 2000.
