This Week's Moves
No Moves This Week... But Buying Season is coming!
While it may seem odd not to add to any positions given the volatility in the stock market, the combination of a portfolio that's still up more than +24% on the year combined with a myriad of negative catalysts - a pandemic with no cure, a potentially-contested election, and the possibility of a complete flip of the controlling party in the government - means more sitting on my hands waiting.
However, I don't think I'll have to wait long.
With all of the negative forces facing the markets and institutional money concerned about losing their gains for the year, I think November could be a very volatile (read: negative) month for the markets.
Historically, November's often a volatile month seeing significant selloffs but also seeing pops into the month-end. That being said, 2020 is a year like no other and we've got so many issues looming, I think the risk is to the downside.
Stay patient, keep your Trading Plan up-to-date, and don't be afraid to pull the trigger if an opportunity presents itself.
