Market Turing Up?

S.T.A.Y. Plus™ current position for Active portion of portfolio:  "SELL" 

The market made a valiant effort to reverse it's downward trajectory last week. This week will be telling in terms of it being able to break the "ball bouncing down a flight of stairs" pattern that we've been seeing (see red line below). In the mean time, inside the STAY strategy, we sold 4 securities in the "active" model that were no longer meeting the criteria we require. The "active" model is now holding 2 securities invested at 5% each, leaving 90% in cash. The "core" model is invested in 6 securities at 5% each, leaving it with 70% in cash. 

We will continue to look for securities that are moving up, in spite of what the market is doing, and invest cautiously, as the market is still proving to be quite volatile and prone to change rapidly in either direction.
