Neutral for now, but long-term looks like UK is set to outperform Eurozone
Better to wait for confirmation!
Either way, UK (EWU) is looking somewhat promising as well.

RSI-M and RSI-W are not showing particular signs of overbought or oversold

On a fairly regular basis, I look for things to add to my covered call portfolio. While on occasion I'll dabble in individual underlyings, my preference is to look to exchange traded funds that represent an asset class (e.g., XRT (retail), XLF (financials)) or market (e.g., EWZ (Brazil), EEM (emerging markets)) so that my hat's not always hanging on a single...
