The Trend Asset Allocation Model is an asset allocation model that applies trend-following principles based on the inputs of global stock and commodity prices. This model has a shorter time horizon and tends to turn over about 4-6 times a year. The performance and full details of a model portfolio based on the out-of-sample signals of the Trend Model can be found here.

Market structure reviewThis week I present a review of the overall market structure, starting from a long-term perspective and gradually shortening the time horizon.I am bullish on stock prices, as evidenced by the positive MACD histogram of the NYSE Composite that acts as a buy signal. In the past, such buy signals are long lasting and the bull run can stretch into years.
