Day Hagan/NDR Smart Sector® with Catastrophic Stop Strategy February 2023 Update

Day Hagan/Ned Davis Research Smart Sector® with Catastrophic Stop strategy, model and allocations update.
BY BRIAN SANBORN

The Day Hagan/Ned Davis Research Smart Sector® with Catastrophic Stop strategy entered this month recommending a fully invested allocation. The NDR Catastrophic Stop model is based on the combination of two proprietary composites: 1) the Internal Composite (technical and price-related indicators) and 2) the External Composite (fundamental, economic, interest rate, and behavioral/sentiment indicators). Each composite is one-half of the overall score.

Entering February, the sector model continued to overweight Value areas such as Energy, Materials, and Financials, as well as added more Growth-oriented Technology to its overweights. Real Estate also moved to a slight overweight. The prior month’s significant underweights in Consumer Discretionary and Communication Services were neutralized. Defensive sectors such as Consumer Staples, Health Care, and Utilities were recommended underweights, as well as cyclically oriented Industrials.

It’s certainly hard to ignore the announcement that Mr. Biden will not be running for re-election and has endorsed his VP, Kamala Harris. We generally try to avoid offering opinions on politics because a) it is not our day job and b) it’s a surefire way of making half your readers hate you. That said, we do think VP Harris’ exhortation to consider “What can be, unburdened by what has been” is good advice for both investors and policymakers. Read more →
