ETF 2X

This personal blog focuses on the application of my proprietary timers to the US and Canadian stock markets. Models have been developed for which double exposure (2X) ETF's are bought when the timer goes long. Proshares QLD is used for the US market and Horizons Beta Pro HXU is used for the Canadian market.

US Model is Currently in: Cash/Short Term Bond ETF
Canadian Model is Currently in: Money Market ETF/Short Term Bond ETF

Timer and ETF Strategy Update. 07/04/08

As both the Canadian and US markets fell this week while both my timers were short/cash, the ETF strategies improved their performance relative to a buy-and-hold- the-market strategy.
