Today's Performance

The market dips continue to be bought. Our defensive positions participated nicely in today's rally. 

I added to the Japan positions (DXJ and YCS) on the first buy signal a couple days ago and added some new positions this morning, i.e., Toyota. 

The market has been full of mixed messages lately. Utilities, a defensive sector, rallied to an all time high, while at the same time, aggressive growth stocks bolt higher on the same day.  This is odd behavior. A correction lies ahead somewhere, but just not today. 

Our high conviction positions continue to work well. I have given the high-conviction moniker yet another GWM Model Portfolio position, the ProShares UltraShort Yen ETF (YCS). The Japanese are on a crusade to inflate their economy by driving down the Yen, making their exports more competitive abroad. It is working;Toyota and Honda are outperforming their US competitors by a wide margin.

The market is very unpredictable. So, I will continue follow it's lead, rather than gazing into my crystal ball.
