No rotation.

The question of the hour isn’t where to invest, but whether to invest at all.  My own model has been soundly punished and folks are scared.

Time to run?

Perhaps – but my model is designed to ride it out.  I don’t time; I rotate.

I have more to write this week about market valuations, but for now – just a note that the sector model has shifted to XLI.

PS – careful eyes will have noticed that I’ve dropped the style model.  My recent losses were the result of trying to combine the sector and style calls in the Full Model selections.  The problem is that I would have to trade one stock per DAY instead of one per week or two.  Ended up getting caught with too many small caps leading into a correction, just as the style model flipped to large caps.  Lesson learned.  Back to the simpler method that worked better to begin with.
