Buy the dips has been working but for how long

Coming up on the "Sell in May and go away".  Last dip instead of selling like so many did I added the position of SPLV.  It is low volatility S&P ETF.  This is a defensive position and will go down less than the S&P500 and pays a dividend.

Also on the dips I scan in Vector Vest a list of ETF's that I follow and look for strength.  I have a position from the top of the list CURE and that is doing well.  The idea is in this type of market is on the dips buy the strength for a short term trade.

May approaching I will have tight stops on CURE.
