    David Fry's Market Outlook For Wednesday [view article]
    Your observations are correct and perhaps your sentiments may prove correct as well. RSI's are reliable only from a short-term perspective in my opinion. They can remain overbought for extended time periods particularly when viewed from either weekly or monthly charts. But, if you've got an itch, scratch it.

    With the RSI approaching or past 70 on so many tech indexes, I expect a pullback soon. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon. Now bring up a 5-year chart of QQQQ and notice how the MACD has reached the highest absolute levels in over 5 years. Great momentum, but overextended. I'm itching to take profits in big-cap tech and I bet I'm not alone. Reply

    Thank you for your post. I read your paper "A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation" with interest. Can you post the actual numbers when you analyzed trend following system on the indices of different countries? Currently, it just shows whether it was beat the buy and hold, but more granularity would be great. Thanks, Reply

    Thanks for all the comments. SA only posts some of my articles here, but there has been enough interest that I will post a monthly update on my blog World Beta (there is one today). For more info on the specifics of the timing model, please reference my paper "A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation."

    I listed more asset classes here because different people use various combinations in their portfolios. In my paper I only used 5. Subsequent research has shown that more asset classes can improved risk adjusted returns - again, buried in the archives on my blog.

    check out proshares.com, wisdomtree.com, ishares.com

    be careful as you drill down into sector ETF's as the correlations are not 100%

    ALSO, IF YOU READ THE BOOK WRITTEN BY MR. SWANSON (ONE OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE FUND AT YALE) THEY REBALANCE OFTEN...READ WHENEVER THEIR TARGET RATIOS ARE OFF. THAT COULD BE DAILY. TRADING COST FOR SMALLER INVESTORS ARE IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER... Reply

    So, are you saying that we can follow a list of ETFs (from the list you provided) and that the returns would be as above (20% CAGR) if we follow a leveraged 100% timing? I am interpreting leveraged as borrowing 100% to double up the positions. And, i am interpreting timing as Buy if above 10month SMA and sell if below 10month SMA. Is that true?

    Assuming that to be true, you are saying that these results, then "simulate" the returns of Yale and Harward Endowment fund?

    Thanks for clarifying.
