  1. Terminating GLD, UUP and LQD before the market close today, and getting USO, at 100% allocation - I think the policy support that has been lacking for Oil has finally come, in the form of the upcoming OPEC+ cuts, US cuts and Fed support.

  3. My view for next week (trades executed around 3:30pm today): After a nice run of US equities and oil this week, I am taking a defensive position of gold and yen. Also, now that I am about 12.5% ahead of the benchmark since inception of this portfolio last October, I'll ride some of the benchmark itself.

    Allocations:
    FXY: 65%
    GLD: 20%
    SPY: 15%

    Here are the results for the last two weeks:

  5. Keeping Yen and SPY for another week, for all the same reasons as last week; Adding US Credit (LQD) at about 20% allocation, as US corporates will be beneficiaries of the policy actions.

  8. This week I am focusing on the sectors without structural problems, but left behind by the market's bounce-back: Value, Industrials and Mining (VTV, XME, XLI) - placed these trades this morning. Also kept the SPY position from last week. Approximate allocations:

    VTV 70%
    SPY 15%
    XME 5%
    XLI 10%

    Last week's results:
