Friday was a rough day in the equity market. I did not write up a month end review of the Ivy Portfolio, but as of the end of the month 5 of the 10 ETFs in the Ivy Portfolio were below their 10 month simple moving average. As of the close Friday, VTI and RWX had also slipped below the 10 month simple moving average. Only TIP, BND, and VNQ remain above their 10 month moving average.
