Sold Petrobras and Getting Shorter

Sold by Petrobras 1% position at a 20% loss, too much political risk.  We've had Biden question why Exxon is making 'more money than God', the UK apply a North Sea tax, and Queensland apply a coal tax.  There's a risk of a diesel shortage in Brazil in the coming weeks/months, and energy companies are a good scapegoat.  Sell it while its worth something.

Now 96% invested.  Most of the new cash is from dividends and salary.

Increased my short position like a broken record, now 37% short.

I think the market bounces here into the start of July.  The same as its done every other month:

Chart from: The Market Dog.  Its actually Q's not SPY, but close enough.

A 'normal' bear market rally can be 20% - we haven't had one yet.  'SPY is almost up 5% from previous lows last night, I'll add 4% to my shorts next week if it reaches that (3817).  Then another 4% again if it goes up 5% more (3999).  And again (4181).  Then stop.  If it follows the past pattern, the market rallies into Independence Day, before selling off again. Its as good a guess as any.
