Market Snapshot

Slow grind higher on light volume.

The MDM is all green


Trendline Analysis
Chart View


We are now once again at the top of the upper trend channel. The market has
flattened out; so, a pullback or more sideways action
should be expected.


Equity Sector Rotation


Investors are rotating out of the defensive sectors and in to the
the cyclical sectors, i.e., energy and tech.


Flexible Income Analysis


Income oriented investment have suffered due to a quick spike higher in interest rates.

The sector rotation now going on is clearly demonstrated by the charts above. As the markets change our model portfolios change. 

The Flexible Income Folio had definitely presented us with some challenges last week. 

With the market now in the upper part of its trend channel, it is prudent to wait for a pullback before aggressively adding to equity position. Additionally, certain areas of the flexible income category simply need to be avoided right now.
