Beware Stocks In March

“Relative strength is a pretty good, albeit imprecise data point,” notes our Portfolio Director Andrew Packer. “When the market as a whole is overbought or oversold on an RSI basis, however, it’s a clearer signal than in individual stocks.”

Many new stocks, particularly in the energy and consumer goods are hitting 52-week highs. But software (SaaS) is still getting sold off in crisis mode.

A new all time high in March is unlikely.

In the Grey Swan Trading Fraternity, we’ve added in protection against market downside with a put option on SPY.

Best to be wary with these trends in place.
