GAMMA Update....6.17.14

For the true Lazy Man investors here's the most recent update of the weekly rebalanced GAMMA model which was designed to weather both bull and bear markets and incur minimal trading activity. SSO (SPY x2 Ultra ETF) has been the leader for a while and racked up some nice gains. The metrics report reflects NO money management stops...we just go with the flow. The report covers the last 7 years using a top 2 sort.

The TrendX charts below show today was characterized by minor gains...except for XIV, which jumped like a rabbit ahead of the FOMC minutes tomorrow reflecting the historically typical bullish pop the day before such meetings.
No FOMC surprises are expected although given the recent new highs there may be further tapering.....previous FOMC moves in this direction have been received with a market yawn so, again, no large volatility response is expected.
