Market Risk: Warning
My Market Risk Indicator is signalling today. That means I add a mid term volatility hedge to the Volatility Hedged portfolio and the Long/Short hedged portfolio. The Long/Cash portfolio goes 100% to cash. The portfolio allocations are as follows:
- Long/Cash portfolio: 100% cash
- Long/Short hedged portfolio: 50% long high beta stocks and 50% long mid term volatility (or an ETF like VXZ or VIXM)
- Volatility Hedged portfolio: 50% long and 50% long mid term volatility (or an ETF like VXZ or VIXM)
Use your own judgement and personal risk preferences to allocate your own portfolios. And, of course, never trade a financial instrument that you don’t understand.
