September 8th Equity Portfolio Update
A big move in equities reflect excitement and anticipation over President Obama’s upcoming speech on the economy and jobs.
We continue to see volatile moves in the market, as of yesterday the S&P 500 gained over two and a half percent. With so many mixed economic and market swings it is impossible to increase or decrease cash positions and have successful results. We are fully convinced that short term timing moves are very difficult to get right more than once in a row.
The FolioMetrix equity growth portfolio continues to be fully invested although defensively positioned.
It is a pivotal moment in both the presidency, the economy and thus the equity markets. We anticipate a shift to either a strengthening or weakening market for the balance of 2011. Much is riding on the political leadership and we will be ready to adapt accordingly.
