THE CASTLEMOORE “CLASS” PORTFOLIO

What does CastleMoore think its typical Canadian investors should be invested in NOW?

 

Class Investor - Moderate Risk

Current Portfolio: Cash - 95%, Gold Bullion - 5%  

Aren’t bulls supposed to react to the color red? Well, there’s never been more red in the markets than anytime in recent memory: yet nary a bull in sight. We, on the other hand, are warming up in the bullpen but aren’t quite ready to get in the game just yet. Legendary New York Yankee catcher, Yogi Berra, is credited with saying, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” That’s how CastleMoore feels about October’s sharp stock market decline.

We notice an incredible desire by ordinary investors to “call the bottom”, to try to buy their favourite stock at these bargain prices. We take that desire as an indication that “it ain’t over”, yet.

The online version of Forbes magazine recently published an article questioning the rationale of the buy-and-sell approach in the modern investment era. It is quite similar to what we would have written ourselves. The article can be viewed at:
