Sector Rotation Portfolio

How would you like to be able to create a portfolio that outperformed the S & P500 index by 6-7% per year, and you could manage it in a few minutes each month?

Well it is possible and I am going to show you how to do it in this report. By using the

power of ETF's it is possible to outperform the S & P 500 year after year.

If you were a Mutual Fund manager and could deliver results like this you would

be hailed as a superstar and be in constant demand to give your opinions in the financial

media. People would line up to invest with you. But this strategy would not work for a

Mutual fund, the fund could not easily enter and exit the trades like we can as an

individual investor.

This is a really simple strategy. We will look at a small selection of ETF's and

choose to buy and hold the 2 (only 2 of the small list below) that have the highest

current annual performance. We will check that annual performance at the

beginning of each month.

If there is a change we will sell the ETF that leaves the top 2 and buy the ETF that

enters the top 2. Some months nothing changes, some months only one changes out

and some months both change out.

The ETF's that we will use in our strategy are, IVE, QQQ, SPY, MDY, IJS, IJT,

and IWM. Yup, only 7 ETFs. I told you it was simple.

These represent a variety of market sectors. At the beginning of each month we check 

the 1 year annual performance and own the top 2. That is it.

There are many websites that will allow you to do this, here is a link to one:

The following page shows the results of using this strategy compared to owning

the S & P 500 over a 13 year period.

Percentage Returns

Year ETF Strategy S & P 500 Index

1998 41.80 26.67

1999 61.73 19.53

2000 -2.25 -10.142001 -3.09 -13.04

2002 -14.09 -23.37

2003 43.43 26.38

2004 12.08 8.99

2005 -1.89 3.00

2006 13.28 13.62

2007 6.77 3.53

2008 -41.00 -38.49

2009 21.29 23.452010 16.97 12.78

2011 7.97 5.94 (through 4/01/2011)

Average return 9.14 2.42

This is a theoretical back test and we did not make all these trades. The returns do not

include the costs of commissions.

You would have averaged 10 trades per year and had an average holding time of 70

days. This past performance does not guarantee future results.

This two minute per month strategy tops the S&P, but my 10 minute per night system

averages 5.7% per month (with compounding), sure it’s a little more work than twominutes per month, but worth it to most.

Helping you retire on time,
