On May 27, I wondered out loud why any newsletter writer would try to trade, lest the emperor is revealed to lack clothing.
Let’s update the results and add one more.
PowerShares DWA Technical Leaders Portfolio
The PowerShares DWA Technical Leaders Portfolio id run by the fabled Dorsey Wright Associates. The fund “is based on the Dorsey Wright Technical Leaders™ Index (Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index and ADRs based on the securities in the Index. The Index includes approximately 100 U.S.-listed companies that demonstrate powerful relative strength characteristics. The Index is constructed pursuant to Dorsey Wright proprietary methodology, which takes into account, among other factors, the performance of each of the 3,000 largest U.S.-listed companies as compared to a benchmark index, and the relative performance of industry sectors and sub-sectors. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly using the same methodology described above.”
