Macroeconomic and Secular Trends

This model invests in stocks and ETFs with significant growth potential that should benefit from current macroeconomic and secular trends.
I use a top-down approach that starts with discovering big picture and sector trends. I then look for stocks with strong fundamentals and consistent growth prospects over the next few years. Stocks that make the short list are technically analyzed for attractive entry and exit points before initiating a position.
I screen earnings reports and annual statements for steady growth. I conduct secondary research by monitoring analyst commentary, news, financial periodicals, websites and blogs.  Finally, I blend technical indicators with discretion for stocks that make the watch list.
The model holds 3-6 stocks or ETFs and attempts to limit any position or sector to no more than 20% of the portfolio. A cash allocation of 10-20% is generally reserved for opportunistic buying. Higher cash percentages may be realized while waiting for appropriate entry points.
My primary goal is to lock in gains that positions have achieved. A secondary goal is to rotate into better performing stocks in a sector, looking for higher relative opportunities.
During times of significant market risk, the model will move into more defensive stocks and the cash allocation may increase.
