These models collectively answer the two most important questions for investors:
- when to be invested, and
- where to be invested.
Our Latest “Following The Money” Market Metric To Watch
In addition to our bi-weekly Following The Money Podcast, we also choose one chart, Asbury Research model, or data series and accompanying excerpt from our premium research that we believe may best reflect the current condition of the US financial market.
This week, we selected our “Rainbow Chart” for the for Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), which achieved buy/overweight status according to our SEAF Model on July 31st and has since outperformed the benchmark S&P 500 (SPY) by 10%.
The line in the upper panel of the Rainbow Chart below displays XLE’s weekly scores over the past year within the context of being Favored (3-15, green), Neutral (16-24, yellow), or Avoid (25-33, red) and also displays the trend of asset flows as the money moves in and out of the sector. The lower panel plots the corresponding weekly relative performance chart of XLE versus the S&P 500 (SPY).

The green highlights on the right edge of the chart below show that the SEAF Model Ranking Score for the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) moved into Favored territory (upper panel) at the end of July and, with just two brief exceptions, has remained there since. This chart is a good example of how positive investor asset flows, as indicated by the SEAF Model, are a coincident, if not leading, indicator of outright strength and relative sector outperformance versus the S&P 500 (lower panel).
