Thanks to all the folks who e-mailed me with comments, questions and suggestions on the MOSAIC launch. Be assured, they are all appreciated and I’m working to reconfigure the layout and add a user’s guide.. The new 3 year Max drawdown metric drew the most comments as it shows how well the model weathers the volatility storms relative to SPY. I’ll be redirecting traffic to the actual Mosaic Solutions Newsletter site on Wednesday or Thursday once the new layout is complete and the 1 week open access will begin at that time. As of Friday’s close Model S is now in HOLD mode.
The APR report may not look like much but what should get your attention is the performance of the RM model which has delivered an almost flat equity curve over four years including the period when SPY dropped almost 50%. Where this model really begins to make sense is when you couple it with the MRSI or VIXEN short term trading models. Last week’s MRSI trades in SPY, QQQ and AGG produced a nice 3.4% gain for only a 7-8 day exposure. These setups only occur every 2-4 weeks but using our same market neutral approach to the trades has delivered respectable returns so far. Note that the 5 day performance is different on the 2 graphics..that’s because the snips were taken a day apart.
