Model Portfolio Allocation Changes- This Week

A Sell Signal for Gold Stocks

Last September, Gold stocks broke out of an 18-month long correction and began a new bullish run. We entered a 20% allocation for the Performance Xtender model in Gold stocks at that time. Since then, gold rallied almost non-stop until the last several weeks ... and it now appears to be in the early stages of initiating another corrective sequence.

Based upon Friday's close, the Performance Xtender model has triggered a sale of its position in Gold, locking in a 28% profit. The model is reallocating the money to increase the existing allocation in SmallCap stocks which will raise the overall position in SmallCaps from 20% up to 40%.

The tables below provide the percentage allocation details and mutual fund ticker symbols for investors following the Model Portfolios by using funds from either of the Rydex Investments or ProFunds mutual fund companies -- or alternatively, investors using exchange traded funds (ETFs).

'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. The allocation mix is designed to beat the market significantly during both bull and bear markets with only limited risk of volatility.)
