To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.

Reduce Cash And Hedges

Consider reducing cash and hedges on better inflation data.

Be forewarned that the changes may need to be reversed quickly as new data comes in.  Make changes based on your ability to be nimble.

This change is to be considered tactical and not strategic.  There are still many risks ahead.

Buy Zones

Within the protection bands and based on personal risk preference, consider buying stocks and ETFs that are in the buy zone.  Even though the momo crowd is likely to run up the market, in your buying, consider your own risk preference because many risks are still ahead.

CPI

Please click here for a chart of S&P 500 ETF (SPY) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&P 500 (SPX).

Note the following:

  • CPI came much better than expected.  Here are the details:
    • Headline CPI came at 0.4% vs. 0.7% consensus.
    • Core CPI came at 0.3% vs. 0.5% consensus.
    • Jobless claims came at 225K vs. 220K consensus.
  • The chart shows that the stock market is rocketing and has reached above the top band of the support/resistance zone.
  • 10-year yield has fallen below 4% giving additional lift to tech stocks.
  • Even though inflation numbers have come down, the probability of stagflation is very high.  It is important that investors learn deeply about how to invest in a stagflationary environment.  Consider listening to the five-part podcast series on stagflation.

Protection Band And What To Do Now

It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.

Consider continuing to hold existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider holding 🔒 in cash or treasury bills or allocated to short-term tactical trades; and short to medium-term hedges of 🔒, and short term hedges of 🔒. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.

You can determine your protection band by adding cash to hedges.  The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.  If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.

It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.  When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.  High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
