Model Portfolio Allocation Changes- This Week

Models Turn Bearish

After months in a "Neutral" setting, the models have now turned "Bearish" and are making allocation changes to eliminate exposure to the stock market. The indicators are saying that the intermediate trend of the stock market is beginning to turn down and there is a significant risk of a serious drop in valuations.

The market may still stage another rally attempt within the next several weeks, but the tide seems to have turned and the major risk at this point is that of a new bear market developing ... or at the very least a deep and sustained correction to the previous bull trend.

Portfolio Changes in the Performance Xtender: The model is selling the previous 30% allocation in Large Cap stocks and placing proceeds from the sale into money market funds.

Portfolio Changes in the Max Xtender: This model is moving from a 100% exposure in Large Cap stock funds to 100% money market funds.
