華爾街應(yīng)回歸簡(jiǎn)單
????上周,我們對(duì)Virtual投資組合做了幾項(xiàng)簡(jiǎn)單調(diào)整,現(xiàn)在需要告知讀者我們的最新頭寸: ????1. 通過交易所交易基金GREK做空希臘——隨著希臘債務(wù)重組的“積極”利好成為明日黃花,如今希臘股市必須面對(duì)緊縮的壓力以及國民的紛紛出逃。 ????2. 通過交易所交易基金SPY做空標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾500指數(shù)——在我們的超買線上賣出標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾500指數(shù),有很高的歷史成功率,在1,401點(diǎn)的點(diǎn)位上標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾500指數(shù)已經(jīng)超買了。是的,就這么簡(jiǎn)單。 ????3. 通過交易所交易基金XLY做空可選消費(fèi)品——油價(jià)和通脹的持續(xù)上漲不利于經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)和可選消費(fèi)品消費(fèi)。從歷史數(shù)據(jù)看,當(dāng)用油成本升至GDP的5.5%時(shí),經(jīng)濟(jì)增速放緩。簡(jiǎn)單說,布倫特原油價(jià)格為116美元,相當(dāng)于用油成本占GDP的5.5%;而如今的布倫特原油價(jià)格已經(jīng)高達(dá)123美元。 ????一如美國著名詩人亨利?沃茲沃思?朗費(fèi)羅所言,“無論是個(gè)性、方式和風(fēng)格,還是其他所有事物,最高境界都是簡(jiǎn)單。”確實(shí)如此。 ? |
????Last week, we made a couple of simple moves in the Virtual Portfolio that should inform you on our current positioning: ?? 1. Shorted Greece via the ETF GREK – With "positive" catalyst of the Greek debt restructuring in the rear view mirror, Greek equities now have to deal with austerity headwinds and a population that is leaving Greece en masse. ????2. Shorted SP500 via the ETF SPY – Selling the SP500 at our overbought line has a high historical batting average and at 1,401, the SP500 is overbought. Yes, it can be that simple. ????3. Shorted consumer discretionary via the ETF XLY – With oil prices and inflation accelerating, this isn't good for growth or discretionary spending. Historically, growth slows when oil reaches 5.5% of GDP. Simplistically, a Brent oil price of $116 equates to 5.5% GDP and Brent is currently at $123. ????Henry Wadsworth Longfellow also had a great quote about simplicity, which was: "In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity." Indeed. |
