August 2024

All strategies profitable in August (other than MAX PAIN, which I seriously hope you are only watching for entertainment value.) We saw a big dip in the markets in August with a speedy retracement. There may be more fun ahead in the next several months, time will tell. For now all the strategies remain as last month with the exception of The Russell which switches from Mid Cap Value to the Russell 1000.

Several strategy changes this month, pay attention to the info in the Decks.

From last month, I made this comment about Smart Leverage, crazy month and I didn’t get to it but hope to in September. Thanks for your patience.

I receive emails from people now and then seeking clarification on the Smart Leverage 15% drawdown and exactly how it works, I realize that it is hard to give exact detail so that everybody understands how I am describing it - so I have decided that I will do a post in August on this topic to help clarify how Smart Leverage is triggered.

July 2024

All strategies profitable in July. This market just keeps melting up even if there seems to be a rotation.

June 2024

Another month in the books, and it was another good month. No changes in any of the main strategies this month, holding steady.

I was thinking about what a powerhouse the markets have been the past 15 years and doing a post on that, may still, but suffice it to say the broad markets have been in beastmode since the GFC. WHEN the shit hits the fan, being in strategies will prevent those long drawdowns. Be strong.

This month Gus sent a note to me and it was really nice to hear, thanks for the kind words!


Hello Randy,

Just want to say as an experienced financial markets participant (ex-CTA) and having just signed up to DM Systems, the end-of-month May/June email report is really impressive!

 I am currently setting up TAA strategies and subscribe to Portfolio Visualizer, Allocate Smartly, and monitor Logical Invest, so have 5+ strategies to go live but always looking for ideas from other financially sophisticated investors and the breadth and depth of the June report is outstanding. Wish you the best if you are preparing to launch as a business using the models.  

Gus
