August 16, 2014 Weekly Wrap UP

Our portfolio experienced several trades driven by downgrades in the Opinion on the names.  See the Closed Trades tab for further detail.

Overall we are holding our Year-to-date return at 23.31% down 173 basis points from the high of 25.04% as of 6/30/014.  In comparison the S & P 500 YTD is 5.80% down 100 basis points from its 6/30/14 return of 6.80% and the Russell 2000 down 508 basis points from its YTD return of 3.18% on 6/30/14. 

The allocation level is at approximately 43% a little higher than the suggested algorithmic allocation of 38% Bullish and 62% Bearish. Our Technical Market Model as of Friday has returned to a more Bullish sentiment for three of the four markets analyzed.  This is a short term model and may change directions very quickly; it should be used in conjunction with the algorithmic allocation recommendations.
