Hi Jt ; Re >> and may include more sector funds with analysis << For me I'm more than happy with what your doing now, if you do include more may I suggest that they have a lot of volitility. :-) When the market is all muddy and swampy like now I tend to just hold the QQQ short then buy and sell it to go from boxed, to net short, to boxed again until I can see some sort of trend or strong sign. It's legal as the QQQ don't have a down tick rule, the only advantage is the time it saves in checking for shares to borrow. That and there have been times in a strong down turn that I couldn't get shares to short . The disadvantage is that I don't make Money Market rates on the long side of my box. I'll do some more work on the ratio of shares out and see if I can post something that looks more clear than what I've got so far. Jim
