* Reentry Strategy: For this analysis we followed the SmartStops reentry signals
which are conservative and designed to trigger only after a renewed up trend has been
established. Alternatively, once you exit a position you may seek to improve your
performance by buying back on further weakness or by investing in a more attractive
opportunity.
