Yes, in my opinion.  Each month buying 100 units of STW on first business day of the month starting 01/01/2008.  I'll attempt a summary of annual results.

No account was taken of brokerage or tax.


If I was able to find the prices for STW going back to when it was listed in 2001, I would have extended it but I wasn't prepared to that amount of digging.  The spreadsheet took me about 40 minutes after dinner last night.


It was my poor attempt at "proof of concept."  I consider there would have been similar results if was a set $$ amount rather than a set number of units and would apply what ever broad based ETF, such as A200.  Have no interest in find out if it applies to the thematic stuff.


I did it because while there is a lot of chat about it, a worked example  (basic though it is) is rarely seen - at least to my knowledge
