Thanks! So far, so good. But it's only been a little over six months. I'm curious to see how it does the rest of the year. I imagine we'll see a fair-sized pull-back before then. It will be interesting to see if it catches it, if it happens.

Bought 50% TNA at the close @ 72.90
Now 100% TNA at average price of 72.14

At the close:

Sold XIV @ 31.19
Sold 50% TNA @ 73.98

Bought XIV at the close @ 31.90

Added 50% TNA @ 73.97.

Added 50% SPY @ 216.40

Current positions for my own reference:

Aggressive: 100% TNA @ average price of 73.06
Conservative: 100% SPY @ average price of 212.72
Volatility: 100% XIV @ 31.90

This is the first time that all three models have been fully positioned on the same side. Not sure if that's good or bad. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

All models had a change in position at the close today. I'm travelling and don't have the numbers available at the moment, but will post them later when I get a chance.

At the close:

Sold TNA @ 74.35
Bought 50% TZA @ 30.09

Sold 50% SPY @ 217.12

Sold XIV @ 33.69
Bought 100% VXX @ 10.18
