TopPicks from Keith Richards, president and chief portfolio manager, ValueTrend Wealth Management
FOCUS: Technical analysis Markets entered into a bearish period, as I suggested would happen more than a year ago. ValueTrend was prepared for that bear. Markets are now entrenched in a normal basing phase, which is normal after a bear market. During a base, buy and hold simply isn’t going to cut it. Basing patterns are zigzag markets. Markets rise and fall between moments of optimism and pessimism. During a base, the market does not break out into a new bull trend.
The charts of North American markets illustrate this pattern. Beyond the index price charts, indicators such as breadth , and negative divergences by risk-on securities suggest that the base may continue for a while. It is for this reason that we continue to hold defensive positions and those with less correlation to the broad markets. We like utilities, value, and we are patiently stepping into commodities. We’re also doing selective short termed trades. We’ve added some unique international positions as well. We hold about one-third cash in our equity platforms, but we are nimble with that cash. For now, we’ll buy at technical support tests, and then reduce equities at the current levels .
At some point, the market will break its resistance point and begin a bull market trend. That is when we will begin to step in with our cash in a more committed fashion. The charts will dictate when that happens.
