Don't Short Yet

The Yellen news is out of the way, and next week is the week before the world comes back from summer vacation, so unless we get a geo political curve ball there is nothing in the charts that say jump ahead of the market and short it.  In  fact, it still does not even make sense to take anything off the table yet (next week is a different story).

The good deflation meme is still playing out; dollar stronger, bonds stronger, oil weaker, gold weaker, volatility weaker, institutions still buying, or at least holding, market has no choice but to stay fully invested.

I am still keeping it simple and shorting VXX through put spreads.  I can envision a sub 20 UVXY before this market rolls over.  For those in XIV, stay fully invested until 42.39 is breached (paid subscribers get a daily update on the stop).

For those who want to short GLD, a break below 122.75, buy the Sept 120-118 put spread.

Regarding my day job, we are batting a 1000 on our First Trust Deeds over the past 40 months (200 million funded, 10.9% return, 9 months average loan duration, zero investor losses(you can request a detailed performance audit on all of our investments)), and we have some nice new developments starting with our builders.  If you are looking for some nice yields (10-13% Annualized), professional, corporate borrowers, short duration (6-18 months), and a well collateralized, (60-70% loan to value range), and you are first lien title holder,  go to my landing page, and learn more.
