I use the Robinson-Burns Asset Allocation Matrix, developed by Drs Robinson and Burns at the University of California at Berkeley in the mid 1960’s. It’s very straightforward. The inverse of the PEG is employed to ascertain with reasonable exactness the level of exposure as as determined by current market risk premium. On that is layered the phase within 30% of the business cycle to determine the level of exposure relative to the balance of other elements in the model, which is determined in exactly the same fashion. If any element in the model should rise or fall by more than 6%-11% (depending on the cycle phase) then the model is reweighted. That was the Brocade addition. There, now I've come forward, stepped up to the plate, been fair to my readers, etc. Thanks. That really clarifies things. Gary Korn
