To expedite my anticipated and possibly increase my expected 20% Average Annual Compound Rate of Gain (AACRG), I have divided my allocated investment into 4 equal positions. One position is now invested in i60 ETF (XIU-T). The other three will invested in the same or other ETFs as the market dictates. Some on my watch list: iShares Gold Index (XGD-T), iShares Materials (XMA-T), iShares Silver Trust (SLV-N), Japan OTC Equity (JOF-N), Power Shares Energy (OBE-N).
Markets have been treading water these past 3 or so months. However, I expect things to heat up again soon and I want to be ready before that happens. Still, I want to adhere to my policy of moving into trends which will be profitable but not carry too much risk.
My system of moving into a trend as it gets started and moving out when it matures has been generally profitable without much risk. When markets trend down I usually just invest in Money Market Funds. My indicators have been pretty accurate in showing trend changes. When markets are trendless we sometimes get false signals and we must allow for that.
