Ive been on summer break for the past couple of weeks. We traveled to Aruba and then to the farm for the July 4th celebration. Im providing you with one of our private/client reports. I suggest reading the two other reports separately and then go over this one. You should see why the blended report is very important to how we allocate risk. Lastly, we have been watching the cycles with a high likelihood of a risk off situation coming up that will likely last for 30-60 days. Our experience is that we nor anyone else can perfectly time the markets (duh!). However, when all the cycles align, we scale back and watch for topping patterns. Watch the VIX, and watch for institutional selling pressure. The last week has us on high alert. We have seen obvious institutional selling pressure come daily at the highs. For me personally, I am looking for one last summer push and then Ill stand aside and focus on shorts and safer plays until September. Hope this helps. Stay vigilant and remember, summer trading is choppy and not the norm.
