There are two changes to the NDW Sector 4 Model (POWER4) this week.
There are two changes to the NDW Sector 4 Model (POWER4) this week: sell the Invesco NDW Utilities Momentum ETF (PUI) and the Invesco NDW Energy Momentum ETF (PXI) and buy the Invesco NDW Healthcare Momentum ETF (PTH) and the Invesco NDW Financials Momentum ETF (PFI). PUI and PXI were sold because utilities and energy fell out of the top four in the model’s relative strength sector rankings. As replacements, the model added PTH and PFI as healthcare and financials have moved into the top four in the rankings.
PTH currently has a near-perfect 5.85 fund score, which is 1.52 points better than the average for all healthcare & biotech ETFs. On its default chart, PTH has given two consecutive buy signals and currently sits at a multi-year high. Year-to-date (through 7/2) PTH has gained 21.84% on a price return basis.
PFI currently has an acceptable 3.31 fund score, which is 0.04 points better than the average for all financials funds, and a positive 2.88 score direction. On its default chart, PFI returned to a buy signal in mid-June when it broke a double top at $61. Year-to-date, PFI has gained 6.58%
In addition to PTH and PFI, POWER4 also has exposure to industrials and technology. Year-to-date, the model has gained 16.69% while the S&P 500 (SPX) is up 9.32%.
