Daily Market Snapshot 01 23 2012




In bullish cycles the market can remain
overbought for extended periods of time.

The far-right green bar in the Snapshot came down to about the 13% level. This tells us that last week's very overbought condition was somewhat relieved today.








Market Direction Model
All Green on 01 23 2012

The Market Direction Model remains positive.  I suspect any pullback would be bought with this kind of underlying market strength.












Equity Sector Rotation


Money continues to rotate out of the defensive sectors, consumer staple and utilities.
Energy stocks are coming back into vogue.

I did buy a position in XLE (Energy ETF) today in the GWM Sector Rotation folio.

Additionally, I took a full position in GLD (Gold bullion ETF) in the GWM Inflation Hedges folio.



Flexible Income Sector Rotation


Preferred Stocks and Convertible bonds remain the place to be.
Junk Bonds have been gaining strength.
I will be looking to take another inverse position
in US Treasuries if they continue to slide.
