Asset allocation for June

In May foreign stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Total Return index, crossed below their 10-month moving average, so that asset class will be sold out today. Ditto for commodities, as measured by the S&P GSCI Total Return index. The S&P 500 Total Return index remained above its 10-month moving average by a tiny 0.25%, so the model remains invested in U.S. stocks. During the month of May the index was below the moving average for a time. No one will object if you jump the gun and bail out of U.S. stocks as well.

Here are June's allocations:

  • U.S. stocks: 20%
  • US Treasuries (10 year): 20%
  • REITs: 20%
  • Cash: 40%
