September Update for Alternative ETF Portfolio

I featured a custom portfolio at the beginning of July, titled 'Scott's Alternative'. Below is the update for September if you were to base buy/sell decisions on the 200 day moving average at the end of August. The portfolio is updated once per month. For some additional analysis on projections for Gold prices, which directly impact a holding GDX, there is an excellent video here. The portfolio is below:
