Volatile Conditions

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

The last few weeks have proven to be challenging in the market. Our market strength indicator continues to show weakness, therefore, in our "active" model we are only holding a handful of securities that have continued moving up while the market moves down. The rest have been sold, leaving us with ~ 75% in cash. In the "core" model, we continue to move along with very little disruption.

In the coming week we will be evaluating a few new potential securities that have demonstrated that they can do well regardless of what is happening with the S&P, which seems over-sold at the moment. It would not surprise us if the S&P 500 continued further down, but only time will tell. Regardless of what happens, we are watching closely and taking action accordingly.
