Crazy thoughts and William Wallace

April 16, 2017 by Don Roth

For some reason that I can’t quite put my finger on I’m worried about stock market action over the next few weeks.

I hate to even discuss this openly because it is anathema to my beliefs. But, I’ve got a case of the jitters.

Sorry, just sharing my thoughts.

The good news is that my jitters have low correlation to price action.

Price action has been anemic over the past couple of weeks. But, usually a couple of weeks of this type of price action is not something to really fret about. This time feels different to me.

I’m a bit nervous. Maybe I just have gas.

If I recommend some profit taking next week it won’t be because I’m nervous. It will be because of price action.

Investing and putting your money at risk is hard. No one wants to lose.

As of now, we continue to HOLD, despite emotional jitters.
Braveheart - Hold

Happy Easter and Happy Passover,

Don Roth
