Moving Average ETF Trading Strategy Update for Week Ending 10-2-09

If you recall, the moving average investor is long in all 10 of the ETFs from the balanced ETF portfolio. So each weekend, he needs to check the 50 day/200 day moving average for each ETF. In the current scenario of being long in all 10 ETFs, he is looking for the 50 day moving average to go below the 200 moving average which would indicate a signal to sell.

Even though the market has gone down about 40 points in the last two weeks, the 50 day moving average is still above the 200 day moving average for all 10 ETFs so no modifications to the portfolio are required this week.

The 10 ETFs are:

-SPDRs (SPY)
-Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)
-iShares Russell 2000 Index (IWM)
-Vanguard SF REIT ETF (VNQ)
-Vanguard European Stock ETF (VGK)
-Vanguard Pacific ETF (VPL)
-Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF (VWO)
-iShares Barclays Aggregate Bond (AGG)
-iShares Barclays 1-3 Yr Credit Bond (CSJ)
-iShares Barclays TIP (TIP)
