Good Morning

Short-Term Technical Indicators – A relatively mild trading session didn’t do much to improve the short-term technical indicators. We see continued weakness in Breadth and Volume for the Dow as well as the 15-Day Stochastic for the NASDAQ.

Long-Term Market Model – Bearish since December 8th.

Investor Sentiment – Another substantial reduction in VIX and VXN coupled with a decrease in number of Equity and Total puts. However, the Index Put / Call ratio edged higher.

Asset Allocation – 100% invested within the actively-managed, alpha producing portion of the overall portable alpha portfolio.
