Introducing Risk Appetite Spread

What is Risk Appetite Spread? Denote R(x) to be the fundamental rank of an ETF. Risk Appetite Spread is

((R(IWF) + R(IWO)) /2 + R(SLY)) / 2 - ((R(IWD) + R(IWN)) /2 + R(ELR)) / 2

Where (R(IWF) + R(IWO)) /2 represent the fundamental rank of growth stocks, R(SLY) represent that of small caps. The average of these two represent the fundamental rank of risky assets. (R(IWD) + R(IWN)) /2 represent the fundamental rank of value stocks, R(ELR) represent that of large caps. The average of these two represent the fundamental rank of safe assets. In theory a high RSA indicates that risk appetite is on and will add fuel to a bull market.
