Notable Observations and Trends:

  • The Precious Metals Miners composite has exploded over the last 126 and 66 days gaining ~+33, ~+37% respectively. That nearly doubles the next best performer for L/126 days and is just over 2.5x the second best performer over L/66 days. 
  • Precious Metals + Miners finally took a breath over the last 21 days as they lost ~ -3% and ~-2% respectively. 
  • Healthcare looks interesting again. It has been the third worst performer L/252 days losing investors almost -20%. Looking at the Best/Worst line plot L/66 days, Healthcare returns appear to have formed a base. Performance is positive since mid February 2016. Healthcare was the top performer L/10 days gaining ~+5%. 
  • Telecom has notable potential tailwinds. On a momentum basis the Telecom composite has been a top 3 performer for the L/252, L/126, L/10 days. On a fundamental basis, the ICC's of IXP and VOX are both >7% putting them in the upper half of investor's expected returns, compared to all ETFs.
