How to read this: a sector is Invested when its price sits more than 1% above the 200-day average, Cash when it falls more than 1% below, and Hold while it is inside the ±1% band. A Hold sector keeps whatever position it already had, so read the Pos line on each card for what we actually hold. Figures reflect the official close shown above. The live monitor is refreshed after each market close; this sample page stays fixed on the day shown.
