Investment Report

August 2010

July produced a nice rebound in stock prices.  Early in the month, small investor sentiment (as measured by the American Association of Individual Investors) shifted strongly to the bearish side and I upgraded my sentiment indicators from bearish to neutral.  Sentiment has continued to be tilted toward fear and caution, but not so much as to move my indicators bullish.

More importantly, my trend-following indicators remain negative and, until that situation changes, I am assuming the market to be in a downtrend.  If the market is able to show continued strength, some of these indicators may turn bullish and I would become more constructive on the outlook.  Until then I am taking a cautious approach and maintaining a cash position around 80-90% of my portfolio.  While this environment is prone to whipsaws that can frustrate both bulls and bears, I think a cautious posture is warranted.
