I am still 100% invested and all of my holdings are STILL asking for more money. The V-wave is starting to make me nervious.
The indexes are recently rising up towards their 200dma, which may result in a more volatile break in one direction or the other in the next week or so.
Both you and Steve have had some pretty good gains in April, outpacing the Indexes significantly.
You could take some of that off the table and reduce your long exposure by 17.5% and use the proceeds to buy into SDS - which would near enough align your overall exposure to that indicated by vWave.
Tough call. What I usually do in such 50/50 situations is go halfway (e.g. reduce by 8% and use that to buy SDS).
I am still more than 33% off my high of December 1999 and Feb or March 2008.
December 1999 was only my 2nd month of AIMing (Geez it's going to be 10 years soon).
My high month end value was in October, 2007. The S&P 500, Dow30 and Wil5k also closed at their highs that month. The Nasdaq hasn't even been close to it's Feb, 2000 high of almost 4700. It's currently down more than 60% from that lofty, unsustainable level.
