08/20/2014 Sector Update

The Sector Model has dipped slightly -- slightly -- in favor of Industrials (XLI):

Small Value Mid Value Large Value Small Blend Small Growth Mid Blend Large Blend Large Growth Mid Growth
Industrial 1 4 7 10 13 20 24 49 66
Finance 2 5 8 11 14 21 25 51 67
Utilities 3 6 9 12 15 22 27 52 68
Staples 16 17 18 23 29 47 50 65 75
Cyclicals 19 28 33 36 41 55 57 70 77
Healthcare 26 32 37 39 44 58 60 72 78
Energy 30 34 38 42 45 61 63 73 79
Materials 31 35 40 43 46 62 64 74 80
Technology 48 53 54 56 59 69 71 76 81

This is neither bullish nor bearish.  XLI is actually typical of a mid bull correction, but the weight of both sector and style models is in a late bear.

More QE confusion.  It was confusing going in, and it's confusing going out.  Hooray for Jackson Hole.  I hope we'll have an end to all this soon.
