Book Description
Sector rotation has been proven to make good profits with the least risk if it is properly implemented. However, sectors are risky, less diversified and more volatile than the market. This book describes 21 strategies from the simplest sector rotation for beginners to advanced sector rotations for experts. Most other similar books have only one strategy. As of 5/2020, my annuity account (not too many choices while working for a mutual fund company) appreciates more than 4 times using sector rotation starting with the amount more than my yearly salary then. In the long run, this book improves your odds in making profits over traditional schemes in sector rotation by:*Market Timing. When the market is plunging, do not buy any stock including sector ETFs and sector funds. This book provides a simple chart to detect market plunges. The simplest (for beginners) is a sector rotation between SPY (an ETF that simulates the market) and cash (or an ETF of short-term bonds).*The next rotation strategy involves four ETFs in a rising market. Optionally, advance investors can include a contra ETF to time the market further. Buy the best performer from the last month of these four selected ETFs.*Some sectors perform better in different stages of a market cycle.*Many free sites describe the best sector performers such as Seeking Alpha.com and CNNfn.com.*Evaluate sectors using Technical Analysis (simple charts available free from the web) and Fundamental Analysis.*You should spend one or two hours a month to determine which sector to rotate to, or move your portfolio to cash when the market is risky. The "Buy and hold" strategy has not performed since 2000.*Subscription services of which there are many. Even if you subscribe to these services, you should read this book to evaluate their services and use this book as a second opinion. When your portfolio is over $100,000, $100 for a yearly subscription should pay for itself in the long run.*Use market timing by calendar and presidential cycle.*My recent experiences in sector trading can help to guide you. Be careful with many of the books on this topic that were written by professors who may never have made a buck in the stock market. When you see a lot of equations, run as fast as you can.*Some "best" seller books were written more than 10 years ago and do not use today's basic tools such as technical analysis and the extensive offers of so many sector ETFs. They bear little resemblance to today's market, which can be manipulated by institutional investors.*Most large companies today are global companies. The importance with investing in foreign companies or diversifying is less important than in the past.*When China expands, natural resource-rich countries would most likely benefit, and vice versa.*Most likely for luck but with good reasons, I predicted correctly that a disaster would happen in China as reported in August, 2019 in my article "Disasters in 2020". The second prediction has not happened yet, but it has more impact on our economy.The third prediction: China would not agree to pay for the damages of this pandemic and that would lead to the freezing of their debts to us (1.07T as of Dec., 2019). Eventually it could lead to a cold war or even a military war. I hope it will never happen.*Most books on sector rotation have one strategy and this book has 21 strategies. You can combine the strategies such as market timing along with last month's best-performed sector.Size: 370 pages (6*9)Initial date: 05/2020Last update: 06/2020
