This week, there is a change in the GUGGSECT Model as RYH has been removed.
This week, we have a change in the Guggenheim Equal Weight Sector Model GUGGSECT. The Guggenheim S&P Equal Weight Health Care ETF RYH has been removed from the Model. This Model is designed to target exposure to the Guggenheim Equal Weight Sector ETFs that are demonstrating positive Relative Strength versus the Model benchmark, the Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF RSP. Each week we monitor 10 Relative Strength charts for each ETF in the Model's universe versus the RSP. As a result of the most recent market action, RYH reversed into O's versus the RSP, warranting its removal from the Model.
RYH had been a holding in the GUGGSECT Model since 2/19/2014. Over that timeframe, RYH posted a gain of 24.99% while the S&P 500 Index SPX was up 23.42% (through 12/12/2016).
