CLient objectives are met by our process
Supply and Demand is basic– we learned it in grade school. Yet, our industry ignores it!
Institutions track these support and resistance levels and often trade on them, using technology Technology effects everything we do today, often magnifiying the impact (i.e. Egypt, Middle East, etc.) We use tools that track S&D in this way in real time on all investment alternatives available globally
This performance data is directly from Dorsey Wright, and we will add the copyright as soon as I can figure out how to bring it in directly. UBS and Dorsey Wright have both given us written approval to use any materials they publish off their website. This demonstrates a Buy and Hold strategy, even when using a broad-based index, is not always successful over the long term.
Human Investor 04/13/11 12:59 Financial Advisor talking points: Point and Figure Analysis developed by Charles Dow in the 1880's to identify significant changes in supply (the willingness of sellers to accept lower and lower prices) and demand (the willingness of buyers to pay higher and higher prices.) Imagine we buy a stock at $30. As it rises, on a PnF chart, those incremental increases are marked by an X, denoting buying, or demand. Once the buying stops, as it does here are $40– it is as though the auction that is the market asks "who will pay $41?" and there are no buyers—sellers enter the market, denoted by O's. When the selling stops and buying resumes, X's appear again. For these reversals to be considered significant enough to chart, they must occur in a magnitude of 3 increments or more. In this example, as the buying resumes, we reach the old "high"" at $40– the last time the stock hit this price, it was beset by selling. There is a "collective memory" on the part of investors, and the inclination is to sell at this previous high in order to avoid a repeat of the decline that ensued from this price the last time. Hence, this point is referred to as "resistance." In the auction that is the market, the appearance of a buyer at an even higher price than the last time buying stopped and selling began is significant, and considered a Buy signal.
This is a chart of Bear<Stearns, through June of 2007. It shows a break of the Bullish support line, (note where the column of O's breaks the red dotted line) after having maintained a positive trend for 4+ years. Dorsey Wright wrote an opinion on June 26, 2007 that I will email for your review. We have approval to distribute the article. In it, they explain how both Bear Stearns and Merrill should be sold because of these significant breaks on their PnF charts. This was in JUNE 2007! Most Fundamentally informed managers did not sell then, and in fact, MANY OF THEM HELD THESE SECURITIES all the way down! Bear Stearns went out of business, and Merrill no longer exists. PnF analysis provided EARLY WARNING
Here is an example of what has been happening in Gold of late– showing how an upside trend forms on PnF
Here is an example of a relative strength chart, that functions much the same as a footrace, like the example we just saw. We position two securities and run them against one another based on price momentum. The winning security is the one enjoying greater demand. Here, we show a &quot;race&quot; between the S&P 500 Cap Weighted index (the one all the financial news programs quote) and its equal-weighted counterpart, the Rydex RSP. These are ETFs, readily liquid and available. We note that the RSP began winning the race between the two on 4/3/2009, suggesting it would have been better to own it instead of the S&P Cap-weighted. Let's see if this would have been correct!
As you can see, by buying the security exhibiting the greatest relative strength, a lot of value was added. 52.41%, to be exact.
Here we see the results for Buy and Hold from the time ETFs were first readily available to the investing public. We look first at simply buying the S&P 500, as is recommended so often by financial publications and articles, as a low cost way to participate in the market. Had we bought this and held it, we would have made 43.02% from 4/30/023. However, we would have had to tolerate a more than 50% loss of our capital during the decline in 2008.
Now, we add a second choice, or to continue our track and field analogy, another competitor. Each time the relative strength of one grew greater than the other, we would own the one exhibiting the greatest strength, or demand. As you can see, we would have more than double our return by doing so, and, we would have significantly reduced our downside. Still, this kind of loss would have been worrisome. What if we add yet another competitor to the mix?
Here, we show the alternatives of the S&P, the RSP and MNYMKT, or cash. Each time one exhibited greater strength, or demand, it was bought and held until a competitor the lead again. (I could happily show more intensive charts and supporting documentation here, but it would be fairly complex. We have branch approval to distribute these analyses to clients as examples of Relative Strength at work.) By following Relative Strength, we would have nearly quadrupled our return and reduced our downside exposure to a more palatable level.
Here we show our Relative Strength screen for our broad equity asset classes. First, the equal-weighted S&P (RSP) vs. The S&P– race is currently being won by the RSP. IN the International markets, we have the EMerging mkts (VWO) vs. Established Mkts (EFA), currently being won by VWO. Then we take the winner of each race and pit them against one another to determine if we will have any international exposure. At present, the domestic markets are stronger and we therefore own no foreign positions. Finally, we look at segments making up the domestic markets, attempting to identify strength. We currently own the Equal-Weighted NASDAQ 100 (QQEW) because it exhibits more demand than the RSP.
Our Investment Process in extremely focused and involves a continual assessment of asset classes and risk levels. This is an example of the types of things we review in determining our cash position in portfolios. As of today, all the evidence is quite positive, and leads us to maintain a fully invested position. We do not predict anything nor anticipate anything. We simply continuously evaluate the evidence and adjust accordingly.
Here, we show our leading indicators in each category against MNYMKT, or Cash. This would show us when Cash is in greater demand than Equities, and lead us to raise Cash in portfolios. At present, equities remain quite strong, hence, our fully invested status at present. These indicators could change at any moment, leading us to adapt the portfolios accordingly.
Again, other things we view– interest rates, the dollar, gold and transports.
Here is an example of one of the many matrices we run each day– these are &quot;races&quot; of many competitors. Here, we show the &quot;race&quot; we use to determine the strongest area of the US equities market. Midcaps are enjoying the greatest level of demand at present.
Another of our broad matrices, this one showing the 10 broad econimic sectors, together with gold, commodities and real estate. At present, energy tops the list, along with precious metals and commodities. We own these in our Sector/ETF and Mod portfolios. As holding fall out of favor, they are replaced by other securities exhibiting the greatest amount of demand at the time. Often, securities exhibiting the greatest relative strength continue to do so for long periods of time. This may be a result of the kind of herd mentality we discussed previously, and classic investor behavior of wanting to own what is already rising in price!
We've develped these four strategies, and will continue to add additional strategies to meet client needs
At the Humphrey Group, we sit down with each and every client, creating a custom-tailored plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.

We continually evaluate Cash as an active alternative in our portfolios; We integrate fundamental and technical research in order to determine quality and the best time to buy and sell. We conduct continuous monitoring and risk management in our portfolios, updating and reviewing our analytics each day, and formally meeting as a group twice a week.
