Hate mail and Love letters

February 20, 2019 by Keith Richards Leave a Comment

At ValueTrend, we’ve been pretty concerned about the overbought conditions on the markets. Sure, we rode the rally for a while, but 3 weeks ago we brought our cash back up, and even went so far as to raise our cash levels to an aggressive 40% weighting in the Equity Platform.

Why so serious?

February 18, 2019 by Keith Richards 4 Comments

While down in Florida, I did plenty of work, including some speaking engagements, blogs, and even did a fairly decent sized stock rotation within the ValueTrend Equity Platform. But I had plenty of time for R&R mixed in with that work (I almost never take a non-working vacation). As I often do while in Florida, Read More

Look outside of North America for opportunities

February 6, 2019 by Keith Richards 10 Comments

America may be known as the “land of opportunity” insofar as its more liberty / entrepreneur environment. That being said – the US stock market may have entered into a prolonged period of relative underperformance. Same too for the Canadian markets, given our less business friendly federal government and other challenges.  Two opportunities outside of Read More

Bear-o-meter drops to cautious zone

February 4, 2019 by Keith Richards 3 Comments

  Those who have been following this blog for a while will be aware of my Bear-o-meter. It’s a compilation of numerous factors measured mostly against the S&P 500 under the headings of trend, breadth, sentiment, value and seasonality. Each factor is scored and assigned a positive, negative or neutral number. Some of the factors Read More
