Market Snapshot

The market snapshot is your Command Module homepage - a quick pulse and birds-eye view at what's happening.

This snapshot gives you the current status of the indicators, tells you which ones may have changed and when they changed last, and gives you a summary of the asset class rankings.

Indicator Report

The more detailed indicator report provides a deeper dive into each of the items in the Market Snapshot.

In this view, we give you ETF examples, Mutual Fund examples, and our top ranked ETFs and Mutual Funds within the summary of the asset class rankings. Additionally, we provide an expanded US style-box report for small, medium, and large cap across ETFs, Mutual Funds, and sectors.

Breakaway Stocks

These are selected using our proprietary Moving Average Distance (MAD) methodology. We track the expanding distance between selected stocks demonstrating a 'breaking away' in performance.

Our MAD method aims to produce a more sound basis for stock picking vs. pure day-to-day price action. We use the Russell 1000 and S&P500 as benchmarks to produce a 'Top 50' from each index.

NOT INCLUDED IN SLS WEEKLY

Mission Newsletter

Each week, we gather the latest news and insights on the market and deliver a curated newsletter, downloadable from the Command Module.

Included is a version for you to use with your clients, as well as a shortened advisor-only version with insights on market trends and indicator changes.

DELTA-V Charts

Included in our charts are US equities, Bonds, International equities,Canadian equities, Real Estate, Resource & Materials, Gold, and Energy.

We generate a time graph for each of these categories, showing how the market has gone through Bull and Bear cycles since 2000 and indicate where our DELTA-V indicator would have signaled a change from Bull to Bear or vice versa.

Global ETF Ranking

We provide daily ETF rankings of the major asset class groups. Additionally, we list what we rank as the"Best 20" and "Worst 20", irrespective of class.

The list ranks each ETF as being in either an uptrend or downtrend, and uses the Russell 3000 index as a benchmark.

We use a screening philosophy developed by a company called Kingdom Mindset Investing™(KMI).

All ETFs and Stocks in our research and models go through a monthly screening process. First, they are run through an initial BRI Institute screening to flag any stock/fund that is triggered by one of KMI's 3 elimination categories: Abortion Manufacturing, Pornography Production, and Gambling.

KMI then manually reviews the initial screening on all flagged items, and applies what they call the Primary Mission screen to validate or override the flag.  Any stock or fund who's primary mission meets one of the 3 elimination categories defined by KMI, will not populate in our research or models.The KMI approach is more than just a screening.

To be KMI Approved, a company is required to show they follow a complete three stage process that includes primary mission screening, active stewardship, and generous giving.
