Hey fellow FE traders, before the market opens in the morning, please note the following key macro trend changes and key leveraged ETF score shifts. This model really provides us a lot of information about the dynamics of the market. Talk to you guys on the blog tomorrow.

1. Notice that AGQ (Silver) is now officially kicked into tier 4, which is the bearish territory. This sentiment shift makes me to believe that the correction of silver is not over. Even though gold (UGL) is not as bearish, it is certainly not worth buying.

2. Oil (UCO) remains bullish along with energy shares (ERX, DIG). Large cap stocks (DDM, SSO) continue to be bullish although SSO is now in the tier 2 category while DDM continues to enjoy the tier 1 ranking.

3. Small Cap (TNA) along with emerging market (EDC) remain bullish while financials (FAS) continue to lag

4. Short treasuries made a surprising sentiment move today with TBT taking the tier 1 ranking while the US dollar has no sign of a bounce as shown by the bearish sentiment in EUO and YCS.

So the consensus is that people are interested in both the ETF model based discussions as well as stock data/model based discussions. I will find the optimal way to present both information on a daily basis and make it easier for people to download the stock data file in the next few days.

So here is the latest rankings for the key Leveraged ETFs. One FE follower suggested that I indicate which leveraged ETF is considered as partnership because if you buy/sell these partnership based ETFs, you will receive K-1 forms at year end, which can be a big tax hassle for some people. Remember all pure commodity/currency and volatility based Proshares ETFs are partnerships.
