Essentially the criteria to determine the periods of strength is that the SELL date must be within one year from the BUY date. So if you had a stock that was continuously advancing and never declined, the analysis would more or less reveal a BUY and SELL date 365 days apart, implying a "Buy and Hold" investment. What the analysis for NOC is stating is to NOT hold it between the end of September and the middle of November as history has shown that this is a period of weakness, so much so that if you held it long over the entire 10-year period you would have lost out on 300%+ worth of returns. This is definitely further evidence that "Buy and Hold" doesn't work. I opened up the time range to a 20-year analysis and it revealed approximately the same dates. The max. return under the max. number of periods did tighten up, however, revealing a BUY date of December 22 and a SELL date of August 31, producing a return of 1957.11%, positive in 18 of the 20 periods.
