Doom - The Value of Science!!!
Got in a bit early, eh
As of last night the S&P500 was down about 9% from the high and I was down about 5.33%. That is the value of allocation. Moving 10% from safety (G) to risk (C/S/I) COB on Monday 'was not a good move'. It did increase the losses on Tuesday, Wednesday, and likely today more than my earlier allocation. But, the F Fund is currently buffering those losses to some extent - as it did with the earlier allocation.
Now, where science comes in is that either allocation cut my losses by about 40% - which allows me to wait out potential further losses. My normal -7% mark may hit today or we may rebound - but, I did not feel the need to move out of equities during a situation that I feel is media hyped. If it is not hyped than my life does not end if my holdings decline -7% to -10%. I can move to safety sometime in that range. If, however, the world does not end I will be invested for a better rebound. It is not all or nothing. This does not feel like 2008 or 2009. This seems normal. And, this may be the washout that gets the weak kneed their guaranteed losses and paves the way for rare(ish) summer gains.
This Lion likes to eat more than he likes to rest. And, to eat one must be active. You have to be in to win...
Lookin' up at the 'G Fund'!!!
