In our lat blog we suggested the following:
"Last week we suggested the past week would be a down week for the US market. Monday was down 1% but the market rebounded later on in the week. So far we have noticed a that 2011 is similar to 2004. If this similarity is to continue than the next 3-4 weeks will be down weeks.
The model is also signaling to shift out of commodity such as energy and precious metals and go back into select emerging markets such as India, Turkey, Thailand, and Indonesia."
Since that post energy and commodities have down considerably, with some ETFs going down almost 20%. In addition, the US market went up that following week but decreased this past week. Based on our analysis the US market will decline this week or next before rebounding.
The US market has made a sizable shift in our measures and we have sold out of the US market. We have sold out of energy and commodities and have shorted energy related markets such as Russia and Canada.
We continue to like US high yield corporate, emerging market debt, and REITs in addition to select emerging markets such as Poland, Indonesia, Brazil, and Turkey.
The model is now signaling to get back into China and Taiwan. However, we are waiting a week or two since the model is signaling a weak market to continue than a large rebound which will then lead to a down market for June and July.
