Weekly Model Comment
July 27, 2010
Strong price performance combined with improving market technicals has pushed the Stadion Investment Model to an improved indicator reading. Short term price trend indicators have been improving since July 6th, and with the market appreciation we have seen short term Advance Decline measures as well as Up Volume Down Volume components turning on. The price action has been confirmed by several trend indicators, and our longer term market breadth instruments continue to improve as well. During the last week we have begun increasing allocations to the equity markets with broad domestic and foreign market exposure. As the markets continue to improve, we will likely be adding more sector and style specific exposure to the portfolios, in an attempt to capture as much performance as the market will allow. With the addition of equity exposure in the portfolios, we will continue to diligently monitor the markets and our portfolios with sell criteria placed on each individual holding. If any holdings decrease to their sell criteria, we will swiftly move those positions out of the portfolios, and reposition ourselves to a defensive posture. - SMM-072010-143
