Vacation Time: I’ll be gone for 2 weeks

I’m going on a trip with the family for the next 16 days or so and won’t be posting for that duration. What it means for subscribers is that you will get a $20 discount on your next subscription, whether you’re a monthly or yearly subscriber.

Now, as for current market conditions, if you’ve read the latest articles such as this one or this one, you know that we’re at critical risk levels for at least a short-term downturn. The big boys are going risk-off and so am I. There’s also a potential contagion effect from the yen carry trade, which we’ve touched on here and here.

So read those articles if you haven’t already and seriously consider lightening up your positions. And if, like me, you won’t be as focused on finance during this time of year as you normally would, you might gain a little peace of mind doing so.


Anyway, that’s it for today. See you in 2 weeks and have a great summer vacation, if you happen to take one!
