Both the v-Wave and the SignalPoint Market Risk Indicator show 34% suggested cash to start this week's market action. While the MRI is unchanged at that level, the v-Wave moved up a point. The MRI's "Oscillator" shows a +1 indicating slight rising risk pressure. The v-Wave's shorter term forecast rose 5 points to 43% suggested cash for the 18 Month time horizon. Investors seem to have a case of Inaugural Balls right now. While there is still a lot of dust to settle as the new POTUS takes over we can see that market risk is still well above median levels with both indicators. Keeping some powder dry for potential buying during a pull-back would seem prudent. A friend asked why I'm always bearish, recently. I countered that I'm not bearish, just a cautious investor. As a retired person with no source of earned income to fund future share buying, it seems a good idea to occasionally harvest profits from rising investments and sideline the cash for future rainy days. So, maybe I'm just more like the old bull in that joke about the conversation between the the old and young bull looking down on the pasture of cows below. No hurry, they'll be there when we get there. Value Line made some changes in both their portfolios I monitor this week. In the "growth" portfolio they removed VISA and replaced it with Amcor PLC, a material packaging company (AMCR). They like the longer term growth potential right now. schrts.co In the income portfolio they like Sunoco (SUN) and Brinks (BCO). Sunoco boasts a very healthy dividend at over 6%/yr. Brinks isn't as generous at just 1%/yr but they feel it will provide reasonable total return as their reasonable valuation now and earnings rebound should supplement the overall picture. SUN schrts.co BCO schrts.co Best wishes, OAG Tom Value Line Growth Model: Value Line Income Model: Buy from the Scared; Sell to the Greedy.....
