The demographic bubble is just starting to hit though. The cost of boomers retiring will be felt from 2010-2030. If it is already unsustainable, or getting there, it can only get worse if left in its current state.
This looks interesting, and I'm going to try back testing this.
I would suggest trying out-
1. market neutral positions. Eg- If you go long AAPL, go short XLK ( The tech stock ETF).
2. going long slightly out of the money call options instead of stock. ( If the options are liquid)
I mostly do stat arb, and for back-testing, even I tried Metatrader, Quantopian and several other platforms and didn't think any of them were suitable. FXCM's Strategy Trader is worth taking a look at. It can only trade forex live through FXCM, but you can import CSV data and back test on whatever you import.
