    Hi, Georg,
    I understand the various stock/bond allocations above, but I am curious if the Sector (healthcare) allocation will always be healthcare, or is there a method to choose a trending sector?

    Good question. I would like to know this information as well.
    Thanks

    Georg,
    Would it make any sense to use the Best1(Sector SPDR) to pick the appropriate sector or top 2 sectors when using system 2 or 3? It seems it would be worth back testing this.
    Jon
