This week,  our remaining position in $XLV was liquidated along with half of our position in $XLRE and $XLC.  All on 3-month  breakdowns in relative strength vs our benchmark, the $ACWI    While there were a handful of ETFs that met our rules of acquisition, mostly energy ETFs, we suddenly found ourselves fully invested, so this week we sit on our hands.  Watch todays video to see how we use our own rules along with the Chaikin Analytics platform to manage a simulated ETF portfolio. 

It's been an interesting week in the market.  Several large moves in both directions, leaving us nearly where we started. This week we focused on the international side of our paper ETF portfolio. We have been under-invested by more than $100K in recent weeks.  This week we cut that number in half  as we added 8 trances across County 1, Country 2 and Macro.  Also, for the first week in recent memory we had no forced liquidations. Again, we are focused on the international and macro side this week.  So, perhaps the rest of the world is starting to out-perform vs the U.S.  We'll find out the answer to that question next week.  
For this week, in Country 1, we added to Our position in the Q's - $QQQ as well as established new positions in $EWC, Canada and $EWQ, France.  In Country level 2, we added to our position in $EWW and $EIS. We would have added $RSX, but we have have reached our cap. On the macro side, our profits are stacking up, particularly on $UNG, although given the volatile nature of commodities, we expect to give some back.  This week we added to our positions in 4LIT, and established new positions in $USL and $UGA.  Our position in $UNG has reached it's max allocation.   Watch todays vieo to see how we se Chaikin Analytics to manage our simulated ETF portfolio.
