Sounds like a good plan and it seems you are good at it. I think you are right that the markets have a good chance to keep going higher through Nov'20, so it doesn't pay to fight the Fed. I'm making a good return on my bonds, though. I make more than enough off of interest and fund dividends to pay for our budget. So it's ok for me to miss gains for as long as necessary to buy in when things are cheap. I'm a very old school value investor and never have been any good at trading in and out of things on a dime. Once thing I've done ok at over the years is missing the big losses on the big downturns. That's why I pay attention to the macro stuff and focus on value investing. I have to focus on capital preservation. Anyway, stay in touch. Always value your opinion and perspective! P.S. If you have a year end SP 500 projection, use the poll in the thread header and vote. I'd like to get a decent poll showing to take the pulse of the thread. Thanks!

Super easy, JPM and other banks have 10000000000000000000000000 dollar derivative bets riding along this market but against gold. They alone made this bull market and a bear market in gold. These bets can’t go wrong because if they do JPM will just pyramid their derivative position using taxpayer money from the Fed as they always do. Seems to me jdst bets here are better than gdxj. With deleveraging halted, banks will support existing gold shorts. It’s not that fundamentals aren’t there for gold to rise, cartels huge short position won’t allow it
