It is very cool that you put the chart under the video link! You're looking at your monitor, I'm looking at your chart posting, it was just a very natural experience for a video blog - nice job.

Just a couple things to note; Emerging Market ETFs pretty much dominate my #3s in the list above. We may have reached a point where that relative dominance will ease, but I think anyone who hasn't had a sizable helping of Emerging Markets over the past few years has miss out on some tremendous gains.

My timing model is still bullish as the sentiment indicators float in neutral territory. Until the markets begin a substantial break southward the model will signal a full-out long exposure.

Last thing: Are we seeing a shift from Value to Growth? The momentum measures I follow seem to be indicating this, but Wachovia's monthly quant report says otherwise:

Wachovia's QSM relies heavily on models and data from Ned Davis Research. I highly recommend it.
