Escape velocity?

As mentioned in our WMMR post this A.M., our intermediate-term Risk Model did give a Buy Signal as of the end of last week, shifting it to Bullish mode. Obviously with averages already extended and near resistance in the near-term and with the prospects for a potential C-wave lower, aggressively chasing at this point may not be warranted (especially with a news-inspired 1000-point spike in the Dow today). However, short-term risks notwithstanding, the intermediate-term prospects have brightened so we do want to start adding a little more long exposure — while waiting for opportunities lower to add more aggressively. So far today:

  • We added a position in the equal-weight S&P 500 fund, RSP, near ~176.49 (~5% exposure)
  • We added a position in the silver miners fund, SIL, near ~39.59 (~1% exposure)
  • *UPDATE: We added to our position in the Germany fund, EWG, near ~40.29 (~1.5% exposure now)*

That’s all for now. Check back on this post throughout the day for further portfolio moves. And as always, stay tuned to our DSS posts for further developments — they provide the most current updates to our investment portfolio and outlook.
