Up over 4% for the week. Unusual movements in prices after the election. Everything was up, and up big. So now the correlations and volatility are up.
This is a good example of how the strategy doesn’t care about the direction of movements. It reacts to volatility increases from big gains same as from big losses, and it doesn’t differentiate between upward correlation and downward correlation. Therefore the percentages have reacted as if portfolio risk spiked this week. We’ll see if that’s true. On November 6th, the strategy rebalanced to:
28% SPY , 20% TLT , 22% GLD , 30% Cash
*All investing strategies come with the risk of loss, including this one. This portfolio may not be appropriate for your investment goals and requirements, and it is not investment advice.
It should not be assumed that recommendations made in the future will be profitable or will equal the performance of the securities in this list.
Excellent write-up. I absolutely appreciate this site. Shaina Titus Cadmann
