Weekly Risk Report 3/5/2010
There's been little change in our market risk indicator in recent weeks. It has been hovering in the same general area while oscillating slightly upward and downward. Speculation remains moderate through the latest update while Relative Valuation and Divergence remain modestly bullish. Current IPO activity has kept the number of available equities steady for many weeks.
It's a year from the market lows of '08-'09. That has brought about some interesting statistics in and of itself. The psychological crushing that took place a year ago is now being replaced with some more positive attitude by investors. Many companies are as "lean" as they've been in decades and this bodes well for bottom line profits as business continues to recover. Likewise, across the broader spectrum, many of the portfolios offered by SignalPoint reflect similar recovery patterns to the market and have developed respectable cash positions over the course of this recovery. We continue to be vigilant regarding measured market risk, potential for capturing profits and seeking new opportunities.
