Safe investments – what have we done this week?

Hi all,
Yesterday and today we have decided to cash out some of our stocks, ETFs and mutual funds, as we expect a slight decline of 2-4 weeks, with the MACD giving a negative divergence on a daily outlook.

As a result we have liquefied 50% of the overall stock holdings we’ve had, and waiting for a correction in price.
Note that this is true for the US stock market, which is stressed tightly, as it did not have a major correction for a couple of months. However, for other markets, such as EMEA and APAC, as they haven’t reached their highs from May 2011, we do not expect them to rise back strongly.

We do believe that after this necessary correction the S&P and Dow will reach new highs, which the weekly MACD on the rise and the index is well above its moving average. On the fundamental level we do see stock prices traded in an attractive price, both historically and from the recent financial reports. But, as any safe investor knows, the number one rule in financial investments is not losing (sounds kinda nice )

Even though we cannot prevent occasional losses now and then, we’d prefer to be safe in this time of year, and wait for the market some air before the next rise…. We do think that this next rise will not last for long and the market will go to a correction cycle to some (really) low values.

This is it for today’s post on safe investments and safe investment strategy for 2012.
Cheerio.
