This past month we owned the stocks of ten companies. We were fully allocated. Two positions posted gains. Eight positions posted losses. We beat our benchmark for the month by 5.43%.

For June we will sell 4 positions. We are keeping 6 holdings and we will add 4 new holdings. We are fully allocated with no cash position. We believe market conditions are short term risky but with limited additional down side. Long term trends are positive.

For June we reviewed and charted 165 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 coming month.

VEGA ARC Year-To-Date for 2019 is up 44.01%.

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. Vega Arc contains volatile and higher risk companies, it represents only a small portion of our overall portfolio.

The investment picks may be in small cap, mid-cap or large cap companies. We will invest in foreign companies. We do not use leverage. We do not short companies. We do not use options.

We hope to make Vega Arc details available in a paid newsletter in July of 2019. Please check back for details.
