Weekend Update

The Top 50 continue to reflect the volatile action of the market.




They continue to hold a significant amount of cash too. Up until the past couple of trading days, that's been the place to be. Will this week be any different?




The Total Tracker continues to plod along in a very tight range. But much less cash is being held here. And just like the Top 50, if you're going to hold stocks, hold the S fund.



Not much action from the Top 15. They continue to resemble the Total Tracker in cash/stock positions.

"When investors give up, savvy traders often see that as a sign to step in.
It's a given among many professional money managers that everyday investors usually pull out of the market at exactly the wrong time. That signals for the smart money that it's time to move in". From MSNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37672576/ns/business-stocks_and_economy/

That is generally true, but I wouldn't use the Top 50 as my measuring stick. The Total Tracker is more appropriate, and collectively we are holding a tight position with only 36% in cash.
