Traders are advised to monitor all mental stops very closely.
Long term investors acting in sync with our real money accounts should now be in a 15% invested position vs 85% cash.
We usually update this hotline whenever the Dow rises or falls by 1% of more; however, we are going to leave this hotline on for the next couple of days. So our next regular hotline will be on Thursday, August 27th, 3:00 p.m., West Coast Time.
