We begin as always at the index level. I look at the index because if a sell signal occurs there which coincides with a bunch of names in the portfolio breaking momentum/trend, that combined signal is far more important.
XEL moves back up to a full position.
ALL, T and AAPL all dropped below momentum.
AAPL as normal we reduce to half position size.
**PREMIUM**
If you remember the big 500 ticker dashboard I share in the weekly post with numbers everywhere, one line in there is a bright luminous green string of 1s. That denotes whether the signal strength is rising or not. As you can see here ALL, AIZ, T and MOH are all now no longer moving up. This is just another “stop loss” equivalent but positively it’s a “don’t give back your gains”.
I am removing ALL, AIZ, T and MOH from the portfolio based on this.
We will replace them with RHI, NTAP, MLM and NI.
