Chadd Mason, CEO The Cabana Group
Last week saw some profit taking in bonds, gold, and dividend payers. These assets have outperformed during the COVID-19 pandemic and the current retracement back to pre-COVID highs is a good place to reassess. The longer we can hold here without a pronounced sell off, the more likely we are for another leg up in stocks.
Make no mistake, there are many, many unknowns that investors seem to be discounting to the upside. Any number of things could occur that would result in a swift reality check and concurrent drop in prices. To me, it feels like we are in a holding pattern. Look for an end-of-week close above 3400 on the S&P and some leadership in financials for evidence that the next move up has begun. On the downside, we have room all the way down to 3200 before the current uptrend would be in jeopardy.
At Cabana, we remain in our Bullish/Transitional Bullish Scene.

No client should assume that the future performance of any specific investment or strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. All strategies have different degrees of risk. There is no guarantee that any specific investment or strategy will be suitable or profitable for any investor. Asset allocation and diversification will not necessarily improve an investor’s returns and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses. While loss tolerance and targeted “drawdown” are identified on the front end for each portfolio, Cabana’s algorithm does not take any one client’s situation into account. It is the responsibility of the advisor to determine what is suitable for the client. An advisor should not simply rely on the name of any portfolio to determine what is suitable. Cabana manages assets on multiple custodial platforms. Performance results for specific investors may vary based upon differences in associated costs and asset availability.
