March 19, 2026 - Third week of Mid East war
Volatility has increased with the war on Iran. This allows the taking VIXM profits and TAIL profits.
This is going to take our cash to 12.8%. We're close on buys for TQQQ, UGL, and KOLD but not quite there. Gold is 98% of the way to a buy signal.
Taking profits for now and wait until end of day to see if gold gets a buy. Then park the rest in money market.
Performance wise, we're 3.5% off the high vs 7% for QQQ, so we're on target. Down 0.4% today vs 0.6%.
Transactions Required to Rebalance
