Strategic ConclusionsStrategic Conclusions
1. At mid-point of Kuznets’ cycle, upside is limited; cautious selections and disciplined timing (in and out) are essential. Even bonds are risky now.
2. Deleveraging heavy borrowings, after spending beyond our means, increases unemployment and will cause recessions during next several years.
3. But benchwarmers can’t score points. Look for emerging trends early (eg: fracked natgas) and clearly (Ag commodities vs Industrial minerals)
4. Disciplined timing to lock-in gains is a survival skill in this roller coaster market.

Strategic ConclusionsStrategic Conclusions1. Hot market is now chilling out
Topping out and roll-over patterns reveal current risks Tight stops and caution is prudent for stockpiling ammunition
2. Liquidity from QE and bond sell-off provides cushion
Pending correction likely to be a mild 5-10%, making it a buying opportunity rather than a sell-off trigger signal
Simple spreadsheets can signal when to sell and re-buy
3. Preferred Havens are Cash and/or strong and “safe” dividend equities
REITs, Production MLPs, Utilities, Food Makers considered to be attractive havens
Watch for Financials (XLF) to sustain break-out before leaving bunker
Remember: we are still in the Kuznets Bear Phase
