I want you to close out your longs and shorts in the short-term Bull-Bear Portfolio model. Through last night’s close, the model is up 2.80% (total return) compared to a gain of 1.30% for the Dow (assumes $60K in capital)—a strong return for a portfolio that takes 40% less stock market risk than the Dow as a whole. And a nice boost to a balanced portfolio that may be feeling some temporary drag from rising interest rates.
With a nice profit in the bank, it is time to move on from this round of the short-term bull-bear portfolio and come back when conditions are more favorable.
I will have more on bull-bear investing and many more compelling enhancements to Young’s World Money Forecast over coming weeks and months.
