Core Market Health Indicator: Trying To Break Higher

Published 07/02/2017, 02:00 AM

Over the past week, my core market health indicators mostly moved higher. With the exception of market risk, they’re compressing around the zero line. This usually happens near inflection points where the market breaks hard one way or the other. Market risk isn’t showing up so that gives the edge to the bulls. The current dip looks much more like a rotation before a rally than a long term top being made.

My measures of market trend moved into positive territory this week. As a result, the portfolio allocations have changed as noted below. As always, use your own risk tolerance to structure your portfolio.

Long / Cash portfolio: 40% long and 60% cash

Long / Short portfolio: 70% long high beta stocks and 30% short the S&P 500 Index (or use the ETF with symbol SH)

Volatility Hedged portfolio: 100% long (since 11/11/2016)
