Housekeeping.

  1. I can’t believe this is already the 38th Scouting the Tape of the year. Boy does time fly. It’s been quite the last few weeks with a lot of activity in the markets and rapidly changing markets. Given the heightened volatility and dynamic environment we find ourselves in, I wanted to suggest a few re-reads. It’s important in these times to not lose sight of the big picture, not over trade, focus on your niche and play your game. The market is just another version of a casino who’s goal is to get you to play as many hands as possible. That is not usually a winning strategy. We want to play on our terms. I want to call attention to the following:

    1. Asset allocation thoughts from Sept 19 Scouting the Tape #33

    2. Oil update and asset allocation thoughts from Sept 26 Scouting the Tape #34

    3. Special Red October Sept 30 Scouting the Tape #35

    4. Midterms analysis from Oct 9 Scouting the Tape #36

    5. Re-read chat threads from the last two weeks.
