This week, the bulls ruled and an impressive 5-day rally ensued.
Our Trend Tracking Index (TTI) for domestic funds/ETFs remains below its trend line (red) by -12.65% thereby confirming the current bear market trend. 
The international index now remains -25.64% below its own trend line, keeping us on the sidelines.

Deae Ulli,
I enjoy your weekly email very much. It is spot on, and helps caution my buying impusles!
However, I do have a utilities stock (Australia) doing nicely, and the utilities index in the States seems to have resisted the selling of the last 6 weeks? Are there any sectors in your opinion that we can start some cautious accumulation, or are all domestic sectors still in the no-go zone?
Cheers
David
Hi, Have been a regular reader of your blog and know you are an ETF investor.
I’ve been reading up on ETFs and equities from books of buffett, bernstein, zweig etc.
Some advocate ETFs and others says holding on to a diversified 20-30stock portfolio is good.
I have around 3 mil invested in an asset allocated portfolio thru UBS and it consists of a discretionary mandate.
However, I am now interested in doing my own investing and was wondering whether direct stock holdings would be good for me? Or should i just stick to ETFs?
David,
Based on my momentum figures, I can’t see any sector worthy of ivesting at thit time.

Anonymous,
The key here is not trying to decide whether stocks or ETFs are a better choice, but to make sure yuo’re on the right side of the market in terms of trends.
Right now, we’re in bearish mode and on the sidelines — and so should you. For specifics about your situation, please contact me via email at: ulli@successful-investment.com.
