State of the Markets

The portfolio below shows what I consider a very diversified portfolio not only of the US investment markets but world wide as well.  I consider any data over a year old as irrelevant so as you can see the Weighted Alpha and the Percentage Off the 1 year high are my longest parameters and the 14 Day Relative Strength Index is the shortest.  I find my best results with stocks but especially with ETFs has been with investments having a Weighted Alpha of at least 50.00+, a Today's Opinion of 80% or better and a buy signal on the 50-100 Day MACD Oscillator. 

I like to compare all the Index ETFs to the Value Line Arithmetic Index and the Russell 3000 Index but at the same time a positive return is what counts.
