AAII-Silicon Valley: Computerized Investing Meeting

The AAII Silicon Valley Computerized Investing-Mechanical Investing (CIMI) Group discusses ideas on how to use computers in investing. The group has a definite mechanical investing flavor, focusing on rules, algorithms, programs, and computerized investing tools of various flavors.

Typical CIMI Meeting Topics and Agenda include:

• Introduction, General Administrative Items
• Updates on discussions/postings since the last meeting
• Presentation(s) focusing on one or more of the following topics:
  • Recent topics from AAII (e.g., from the AAII Journal, Computerized Investing, SI Pro, etc.)
  • Stock, ETF Strategy review, back test results
  • New Timing and Stock Strategy Simulation Results

For example, in our August meeting we covered:

• An update on the Universal Investing Strategy (UIS) from Logical-Invest. This was an update from a session held back in January 2015 with lots of new information.
• Meb Faber's Trinity Portfolio. We took a very quick walk through of Meb's new paper on this strategy. We also speculated that Meb will be releasing a new ETF based on this strategy sometime soon.
• The majority of the meeting was spent reviewing the performance statistics, the heroes and the dogs of our tracking algorithms.
• We finished up with a quick update on the performance of Prediction Valley through July. We also covered how best to handle the risks and volatility associated with this strategy.
