Another macro monday that left us feeling very bullish. Despite the feeling that the rally may be a bit long in the toth, the data suggests continued upside to come. One data point that we noticed this morning, has proven to be fairly reliable in predicting pull backs or sideways consolidation. That data point? The 3.0 bull / bear ratio. As noted below in chert 2. When we see the ratio touch 3.0, we typically see a retreat from that point. Aside from that point of caution, we see a broad bullish market.

ETF Thursday part 2Our simulated ETF portfolio continues to to gain value as the bull market rages on. We are fully allocated, we now forced to find liquidation candidates and decide if a better opportunity exists. That is exactly what we were forced to do this week. Luckily, our rules helped us unload partial positions in XHE & XBI based on 3 month RS breakdowns. We also decided to swap our position in EWG in favor of an additional tranche of SLV. We are now maxed in SLV.

ETF Management ThursdayAfter evaluating our COuntry level 1 &2 holdings as well as our macro holdings, we ultimately decided to do nothing this week. We are fully invested in our simulated ETF portfolio, adding new trounches would have required liquidating existing holdings. Our position in Germany would have been first to be liquidated, we decided we liked the diversification Germany provided our portfolio and decided to stand pat on the week. However, we did layer in another SPY strangle in our delta neutral portfolio. Watch todays video to see how we manage a simulated ETF portfolio using Chaikin Analytics alongside our own rules.

macro mondayOur Macro-Monday analysis once again points to a very bullish market. While we are seeing strong sector breadth, we are also cautious of a market that has had quite a run. As we noted in today's video the bull bear ratio of the SPY near 3.0 is typically where we some sort of retracement or consolidation. WE are also approaching a confluence of potential technical hurdles, including all time highs that happen to coincide with the underside of a long-term diagonal uptrend. WE are cautiously bullish, and would be looking for opportunities to acquire oversold names and sectors that have been outperforming.
