Market correction

 The correction is probably a buying opportunity:

  • Have cut the EM shorts that were based on rising oil.
  • I cut my Memory stocks before the correction, but only by 10%.  Bought it back on the first night of the correction.  Look to increase my memory holdings slightly.    I have to learn to trade around it cause its so volatile.  Daily 10% drops are normal.  And one day the bubble pops - probably not today.
  • Sold off copper miners.  Another sector rolling over.
  • Bought some lower beta stuff in other sectors.  Anything is lower beta then Memory stonks.
  • Covered some crypto shorts last night, hope to reload.
I'm holding 30% net cash, with my fundamental plays (56%), and for short term trades, being long and short really high beta stuff like memory and crypto.


In the next few days/weeks I'd like to buy more Memory, plus lower beta stuff (as trades), and reshort crypto and EMs (the new short targets seem to be mostly oil exporters).  Longer term I'd like to buy gold royalties/miners, but no signal for this yet.

I've be too fast to buy into these past few corrections.  Need to earn to wait - when the market has a potential economic growth slowdown ahead, and VIX/VIXN are in the 20s or 30s, then wait 3 or 4 days into a correction for the market to fall before covering shorts and buying new longs.
