MackTheKnife explained that, beginning on May 1, he evaluated the data found on 80 variables to determine the SPDR that the system indicated would behave better than SPY in the short term. "At that time, the scores for XLE and XLB were almost indistinguishable, so I observed their performance on May 2," he said.
