Model Portfolio I - US Market & International ETFs

Portfolio Overview: My model portfolios are small. Therefore it is funded it with no more then 2 ETFs, which I will be holding from a few days to several weeks depending on my market timer signal. Larger Portfolios may hold up to 3 different ETFs max. Exchange Traded Funds are baskets of many stocks, as such, no need to seek further diversification.

Contra ETFs: when buying inverse ETFs, I ignore the volatility index, usually is above 25 anyway. The maximum inverse (ULTRA) ETF investment for each portfolio is does not exceeds 50% of the total allocation.

Note: this is not a paper trade portfolio.
