VEGA ARC Posts February Results

During January we held 7 positions - a full allocation, and no cash. Here are the results compared to our benchmark of the tech etf XLK:

December 31, 2018 VEGA ARC $11,000

January 31, 2019 VEGA ARC $14,442 +31.29% XLK +6.94%

February 28, 2019 VEGA ARC $16,484 +14.14% XLK +6.91%

In February we owned the stocks of seven companies. We were fully allocated. All seven positions posted gains.

For March we sold one position. We are keeping 6 holdings and we added 4 new holdings. We are fully allocated with no cash position. We believe market conditions are short term favorable.

Adding 4 positions this month brings our total to 10 holdings. We had seven positions in January and February. This is a change in our model. We were concerned about higher volatility created from so few holdings. In response we expanded our group to ten so that we are weighted across a few more companies. We will keep our holdings at 10 positions - either stocks or cash going forward.

For March we reviewed and charted 169 companies. We used various indicators on short-term, middle term and longer term time frames. We seek companies that have a high probability of growth. From that group we selected the 10 holdings for this month.

About VEGA ARC:

January 1st of 2019 we launched and are testing a new investment model. It is called VEGA ARC.

We have researched and developed a pool of about 150 companies that are innovators in genome, industrial, next generation web, and financial tech. From that group we will look for the top 10 growth and trend characteristics from charting each company on various time frames. We will hold 10 securities each month and buy in equal weights. Ongoing, on or about the first of each month we may hold or sell any of our 10 picks. If we sell a holding we will select new alternatives. If no investments meet our rules we will go to cash.

The investment picks may be in small cap, mid-cap or large cap companies.
