I’ve Turned Bearish on Stocks, Silver and Oil

Covestor models: Alpha Trapper and Beta Blocker

February was pretty uneventful for both Alpha Trapper and Beta Blocker models.  No trades were made and price movement was minimal.

I still expect the ongoing benign upward trend in the market to stall or reverse at some point this year, though one can never predict exactly when that will be.

Due to the mechanics of my short leveraged exchange traded fund positions, the recent upward moves in stocks, silver, and oil has resulted in the Alpha Trapper portfolio becoming slightly more bearish on all three.

I’ll will be in touch with you all in April – maybe by then there will be something more interesting to report.
