Yellen Rally Extends
Please click here for a chart of S&P 500 ETF (SPY) which represents stock market benchmark index (SPX).
Note the following:
- In yesterday’s Afternoon Capsule, we shared with you that the market was rallying on the Yellen appointment.
- As the chart shows, this morning the stock market continues to rally on Yellen appointment.
- The market loves Yellen because she is a good communicator, is well known, knows how the Fed works and most importantly because she will push more borrowing and more stimulus.
- As the chart shows, the market is now above the magnet line but still below the vaccine high line.
- The bulls are now hoping for much higher targets for the stock market.
- The trend line shown on the chart is a potential target next year.
- On the negative side, there is no fear in the market. The prevailing wisdom has become that the market is a one-way street — it only goes up. Often when such belief becomes the generally accepted wisdom, the market tends to fall. Please pay attention to the ‘Protection Bands and What To Do Now?’ section below.

Protection Bands 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, on dips, consider holding🔒 in cash or treasury bills or short-term bond funds 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 bands 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, 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.
