1. Market "strategy(s)" only work to an extent - there are no assurances of continuing efficacy and, as you point out, the trading public eventually catches on and the strategy is thereby negated. In a more general sense, the same principle holds that there are no, at least short term, strategies that work reliably. The only good market strategy I am aware of is to buy, and hold for the long term, good quality, dividend paying stocks which has almost always worked historically.
