John Bollinger and Zoë Bollinger will discuss the performance advantages that can be created through an active approach to investing. They will explore various rules-based investing and trading strategies and how they compare to a buy-and-hold approach. 

Market action in 2022 stood in sharp contrast to the post financial crisis bull market. It was a down year, a debacle for 60/40 investors, and a test for the resolve of passive indexers. However, 2022 also brought opportunities for technically-driven trading strategies to add value. Substantial market swings created space for volatility strategies to perform and we started to see a market of stocks with diverse opportunities rather than a monolithic stock market. In this presentation, John and ZoBollinger will discuss the dynamics of the current market and explore technically-driven approaches that you can implement to take advantage of volatile markets.

If you've been reading the headlines for the last few years the prevailing wisdom seems clear, there is no outsmarting the markets, so just park your investments in a passive fund and go about your business. Don't think about trying to hedge, and you certainly can't outperform with tactical allocation, just accept market returns and be happy.

John Bollinger, the creator of Bollinger Bands, will take a critical look at the passive investment trend and discuss where value can be created through active investment management. As a bonus he will show you how you can out-perform any ETF over a market cycle.



John Bollinger and Mike Moody, long time market professionals, will discuss the use of technical analysis, relative strength, and Bollinger Bands. The emphasis of this chat will be on practical ideas that you can use to improve your trading.
