rebalancing using the long term trend indictor.
These trends generally last for many months at a time and often years
so your
portfolio will trade less frequently.

Why the portfolio upgrading strategy works
The strategy behind the Sector Timing Report is a
process of continuously
upgrading your investment holdings into leading sectors of the stock
market to maximize portfolio
returns. Our upgrading strategy works because as economic and
market conditions change, new sector leaders rise to the top of our
proprietary sector scoring system. We buy these top ranked
sectors and hold them for as long as they outperform their sector
peers. When a holding starts to drop in rankings we sell it
and move on the the next hot sectors in the market.
Rebalancing our portfolio holdings monthly keeps us in the latest
leadership
sectors at all times and delivers the best investment returns.
ETF sector trading ranking engine drives returns
Our proprietary SECTOR SCORE
TM ranking engine is
the heart of our scoring system and is the result of 8 years of
research
and development. It is a complex mathematical model that
analyzes multiple data streams and time frames of information related
to each sector to create a scoring system that ranks each market sector
by overall strength. Our report distills and sorts all market
sectors in descending SECTOR SCORE
TM to
automatically sort marketplace leaders to the top of the
list. The result is an easy to use ranking and scoring system
that is highly effective, and easily identifies sector leaders.
Model Portfolio
Details:
Wilshire 5000 Index returns include
dividend reinvestments and were
sourced from www.wilshire.com. S&P 500 Index returns
include dividend reinvestments and were sourced from
www.standardandpoors.com. The Sector Seeker model portfolio
returns do not include dividends and started on January 1, 2003 with
monthly rebalancing on the first trading day of each month.
Our model portfolio is a mechanical trading system that analyzes weekly
trading data in conjunction with several proprietary and custom
technical ranking indicators. Our Sector Seeker model
portfolio tracks the results of investing in 5 equal ETF
positions. Each month we review the new rankings and replace
any positions that have fallen out of the top 7 rankings with the next
highest ranked ETF not already owned. The portfolio results
are live as of January 1, 2009 and backtested prior to that
date. Trading commissions, fees and taxes are not factored
into these results as they will vary from individual based on income
levels, brokerages used, and ETFs selected.
