Certainly there is more research being conducting on stock investment strategies than what is being published. Many institutions keep their investment strategies carefully guarded secrets. They certainly would not publish their strategies and methods for a greater audience to learn. Most methods currently be researched are older methods that were originally published years ago. Compared to other stock investing strategies much research has been done on the Moving Averages technique. There is still debate as to the effectiveness of this method. Early research consists of [6] which concluded that the method did not outperform just buying the underlining stock and holding it. Little was published about the method until [7] found that the method could beat the approach of just buying the underlining stock. Researchers and investors still debate the effectiveness of the method. Table 1. Dow Jones Average with 15 day and 50 day moving averages.

Tables 6 and 7 show the Crypto currencies for which the moving-average method generally outperformed the buy-and-hold method. In some cases, small moving-average parameter beat buy-and-hold, but not larger ones. Bit Shares beat its buy-and-hold return for 1-50, 1-150 and 5- 150, but did not for 1-200 and 2-200. In other case, like Lisk, all parameter values beat the buy- and-hold method.

Table 8 and 9 shows the Cryptocurrencies in which the buy-and-hold method generally beat the moving-average method. In some cases, the difference between the methods was large. The buy- and-hold method for Ethereum produced an 18,845.5% return, but the best moving-average method only produced a 6,570.9% return. DASH’s buy-and-hold produced a return of 113,732.4% return compared to the best moving-average method of 5,355.6% return. Other Cryptocurrencies were closer. Dogecoin’s buy-and-hold method produced a 1,716.1% return while it is best moving-average return was 1,646.5% return.
