What an incredible month! I switched from the F Fund to the C Fund and then we rode out the #Brexit rollercoaster, and now, I am switching back to the F Fund. It was clear by the trading activity and the market close before the Brexit vote that Mr. Market thought the UK would vote to remain. With the unexpected result, everyone panicked and let Mr. Market get the best of them. By staying the course and taking a longer-term approach to the market, I was able to make a small return on the month despite all the volatility. The market is now seeing a standard deviation of over 4% for the stock funds, which reveals an incredible level of uncertainty in the market to the downside, especially when the Sortino Standard Deviation is in the high 2-3% range. Although we may have seen the Brexit debacle pass, we are in an election year, Brazil is about to show how bad an economy it has, and rumors of China's faltering economy, not to mention our own, are all driving uncertainty and leading my system to put me back into the F Fund.
But, like I tweeted, Keep Calm and Carry On!
