Stocks Action Is Turning Sloppy

Some chop for sure and unfortunately to close the week out.

I thought we’d get another couple weeks of solid strength from stocks but we do look to be setting up for a few months of consolidation now which would be great, but it would have been better after some solid moves into mid-August.

Can’t win them all, but the market can, and is always right.

I’m reducing positions and locking in gains or keeping a couple to small losses or getting out at cost.

I’m being cautious here.

I am starting into the mining sector slightly and perhaps more robustly in the week ahead but I am thinking it may be time to pare down the work and enjoy the summer.
