Model Portfolio Allocation Changes- This Week

Models Turn 100% Bullish

As the stock market rose to new heights last week, we also tracked significant improvement in our technical indicators that gauge the internal health of the market. It was enough improvement for our models to finally trigger a complete release of a "volatility constraint" that has kept the portfolios in a somewhat defensive posture.

Our model porfolios are all now moving to a fully bullish posture.

Portfolio Changes in the Performance Xtender: This model is now moving 100% into Mid Cap stocks which have emerged as the new leading sector in terms of relative strength.

Portfolio Changes in the Max Xtender: This model is moving 100% into a leveraged Mid Cap fund. The effect of this change will be to increase the leverage factor from 1.5 to 1 to a fully bullish 2 to 1.

'Performance Xtender'

(A model portfolio that invests selectively in stock market index funds, plus certain market sectors such as Energy, Gold and Real Estate, and in an Inverse Fund ("Bear Fund"), depending on current market trends for each type of investment.

'Max Xtender'

(A model portfolio that invests selectively in stock market index funds and in an Inverse Fund ("Bear Fund"), depending on current market trends for each type of investment. During strong market trends ... either bullish or bearish ... the model uses up to 2-to-1 leverage to magnify returns. The allocation mix is designed to beat the market substantially during both bull and bear markets but results in a relatively high risk of volatility.)

Rydex does not have a leveraged MidCap fund so we have substituted RYTNX, a leveraged LargeCap Fund. ETF investors should move to a fully margined MDY position for 2 to 1 leverage.
