This page supports our users that follow Les Masonson’s ETF investing strategy set forth in his new book Buy Don’t Hold. His six-step methodology is explained in detail. One of the key steps is to first determine the overall health of the stock market by using eight publicly available technical indicators that are referred to as "Stock Market Dashboard." For more information about the dashboard go to the Buy Don't Hold website, or, better yet, buy his book using one of the links to your right. The details about the dashboard are covered in detail in his book.

Another critical step in Masonson’s strategy is to select investments from a universe of 52 ETFs, but only when the Dashboard indicates a “buy” signal. He categorizes these funds into 7 groups, all of which are available by clicking the links in the side column. He recommended a standard 6-month "relative strength" measure to determine their performance. Therefore, all of these data tables have a default sort of 6-month total return.

The funds below are a broad sampling of the 52 ETFs in his selected universe. All the funds, by category and in total, are available from the side panel menu. Les currently recommends that the top 5 ETFs based on 6-month relative strength be purchased the next business day on any new Dashboard V2 signals.
