1 For American Pilots October 2017 Newsletter September 24, 2017 The market continued setting records in September and shrugged off many of the market headwinds we outlined last month. Our current 401k portfolios continue to overweight bonds and cash as we still see many economic growth issues in the 4 th quarter. The great news is that while we ve reduced risk in the model portfolios, they all showed excellent performance during the past month and for all of See the performance updates on page 5 the Aggressive Portfolio (with lower risk than the S&P 500) continues to outperform the Index for both the year and the past 12 months. For the coming month, there are no major changes in the model portfolios although we are moving any cash/money market balances in the Moderate and Conservative Portfolios to the Diversified Bond. Help Hotline: We help new subscribers get started and help current subscribers get back on track or mike@eztracker401k.com Portfolio Update on page 2 Retirement Savings Plan for US Air Pilots Effective December 3, 2017 the Retirement Savings Plan for pilots will be terminated. You must decide before the November 17 deadline about what to do. See the Decision Guide you recently received. To get a copy of the Decision Guide, click here: RSP Decision Guide. You can roll your balance over to the 401k or an IRA and maintain the tax advantaged status of this money. You can also take a cash distribution which will involve paying taxes (and a penalty if you are younger than 59 ½). One option is to roll-over your Retirement Savings Plan to an IRA and use the EZTracker ETF newsletter to manage it. The EZTracker newsletter provides a wider selection of investment alternatives than the American 401k and has eight commission-free portfolios using Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab and Ameritrade. For a copy of this month s issue, contact@eztracker401k.com or Market News This month we re looking at trends that are starting to build in the market and that could have implications for the EZTracker model portfolios this fall. The Advance/Decline Line. Last month we talked about the advance decline line breaking a nine-month uptrend. As a result, we cut equity assets in favor of cash and bonds. Certainly, the safe decision to preserve gains and protect assets. Over the last month we have seen the market begin to rotate to different sectors. Financials and Energy are making headway. As this rotation begins and as bond yields begin to march higher, we are beginning to rotate back into equity as evidenced in the ETF Portfolios but not yet in the 401k portfolios as this rotation is just beginning. When we see Small Cap and Value assets taking hold we will begin the process of buying these asset classes as part of the 401k portfolios. Tech sector weakness. While the stock market is holding up and continuing to set new record highs, some rotations are going on beneath the surface. One is the rotation out of large cap tech stocks, former market leaders, into cheaper parts of the market like financials, small caps, and transports. Three stocks (Apple, Amazon, Google) account for 60% of the so-called FAANG stocks which had been market leaders. Part of the recent tech selling is tied to the rebound in bond yields and expectations for another rate hike this year. That also explains why investors are buying financials and small caps. The EZTracker ETF Newsletter is buying into the financials this month and waiting for small caps and value stocks to improve. Rising energy prices could boost inflation. A continuation of this trend could encourage a more hawkish Fed and increase the odds for more rate hikes. That wouldn't be good for technology stocks but may explain why energy and financials have been the strongest performers this month -- and why money coming out of techs is moving into undervalued energy and financial stocks. Small Caps benefit from rising rates. Rising bond yields boost financial stocks like banks and insurers. Rising bond yields, however, are also helping boost small cap stocks. Small caps are also one of the beneficiaries of money rotating out of expensive large cap tech stocks and into cheaper stocks. But there's more to it; small stocks are benefiting from the rotation into financial stocks (resulting from higher bond yields). A jump in yields after last November s election coincided with a big jump in small cap relative performance. Declining bond yields since the start of year helped produce relative small cap weakness. This month, however, bond yields and small cap performance are rising together. Help a Friend: Tell your friends about how EZTracker can help them with their 401k.

Call American Airlines 401k Service Center at Fidelity at STEP 2: Change Future Investments Aggressive, Trend, Moderate & Conservative Portfolios: This is the money coming out of your paycheck each month and going into your 401k. Your future contributions should be set identical to your Current Investments in the chart above. Brokerage Portfolio: Set Future Investments for 95% to the Brokerage Link and 5% to Emerging Markets Stk. Then continue and set 100% of the Brokerage Link contributions to Fidelity Cash Reserves (FDRXX) Our suggested approach: When adding one new position, add 50% of your cash balance in Fidelity Cash Reserves to the proceeds of the fund you are selling. When adding two or more new positions, add 100% of your cash balance in Fidelity Cash Reserves to the proceeds of the funds you are selling and split the dollar total equally in purchasing the new funds. The EZTracker Brokerage Portfolio is a very aggressive approach for investors who want to invest in a wider range of market sectors. Managing this portfolio will require more time and greater comfort with risk than the other EZTracker portfolios. We suggest this portfolio for more experienced, knowledgeable investors. See the Monthly Fund Data on page 7 for a list of funds in this portfolio. If you are interested in using Fidelity s Self-Directed Brokerage Link, follow the instructions on the Fidelity website to set up your account or call the American representative at Fidelity ( ). 2

4 Continued from page 1 Value Shares are gaining ground. "Value" stocks have lagged far behind "growth" stocks this year. This is especially true with small caps. But that may be changing. The charts below show the Russell Indices for the major growth and value segments. Growth has been aided by an overweight in technology and healthcare, thus the superior returns YTD. Value with a higher weighting to financials and lower weighting to technology has reversed the pattern in the past month. Value stocks, especially small cap value, are also highly valued by bargain hunters who are looking for opportunities in what may be an overvalued market. Please update your portfolio every month to stay in tune with market movements and rotations % Return September % Return Large Cap Growth Large Cap Value Mid Cap Growth Mid Cap Value Large Cap Growth Large Cap Value Mid Cap Growth Mid Cap Value 5 Small Cap Growth 1 Small Cap Growth 0 Small Cap Value 0 Small Cap Value Watching Bonds A critical sign for the long-run bull market is the low interest rate environment. Even with rate increases that started in December 2015, we re still at historically very low levels. With the frequency of Fed rate increases accelerating, the danger is that investors will sell short-term Treasuries and buy longer-term bonds. Typically, there is a yield advantage for longer term bonds; it s the premium investors demand for holding bonds for a longer-time. The major indicator to watch is the spread between 10-year Treasury Bonds and 2-year Treasury Bonds. In 2014 the spread was over 2.5%, currently it s under 1%. The last two times the yield curve inverted (the two-year yielding more than the 10-year) was in the years 2000 and 2006 before each of the last recessions. It s something we ll be watching closely. Model Portfolios All the model portfolios consist of core holdings representing major market segments plus top performers based on current market conditions. Some market conditions may cause us to deviate from the following percentages. EZTracker Aggressive Portfolio: % invested in equities. This is a high risk/high reward portfolio. EZTracker Moderate Portfolio: 70% invested in equities and 30% invested in bonds, the Credit Union, or the Stable Value Fund. EZTracker Conservative Portfolio: 40% invested in equities and 60% invested in invested in bonds, the Credit Union, or the Stable Value Fund. This is our lowest risk portfolio. EZTracker Brokerage Portfolio: % invested in equities the Brokerage Link and an expanded list of Fidelity mutual funds. This is a high risk/high reward portfolio Which Portfolio is Right for You: Selecting the right portfolio is an individual decision based on your comfort and ability to take risk. Only you can decide. Planning your retirement is more important than ever. Your portfolio choice will vary based on age, income, lifestyle, other investment assets and your tolerance for risk. We believe you can take control of your 401k and plan for the retirement you envision. For help in thinking about your ability and comfort with risk, check out the risk quiz provided by our friends at Friedenthal Financial: Risk Tolerance Quiz. 4
