Hi Tom, just found your blog and had a couple questions. Are these acutual portfolios you own? Can you post the ETF's, if that's all you're using. Do you post performance. Any explanations of your objectives and anything else that might be of interest. Thank you.

I have a tactical asset allocation portfolio based very closely on my model readings. I use mostly Profunds for U.S. sectors and ETFs for internationals. Strategy 3 is not fully implemented but I do hold some asset classes not reflected in my TAA portfolio.

I don't report performance accept for year end - which I have done twice on Random Roger's blog.

The objective of this portfolio is to outperform the S&P 500 with slightly less risk over any 3 year period.
