May continued the sharp rebound off the March lows. Short term trends are positive however a bit overextended. Mid-term trends have improved. There is still uncertainty for the coming months with the virus vs economy restarting, civil unrest, China relations, and monetary and fiscal stimulus. A long list. We do not know and do not forecast the outcome. We expect high volatility to continue throughout the year and will be vigilant and flexible should conditions change.

We beat our benchmark of SPY in May by more than 12%.

Year to date we are beating our benchmark of SPY by over 56%.

The V2 Model has performed exactly as expected.

To start June, we are allocated to a long position. We expect the market to be volatile and concerning. As conditions change in a meaningful way, the model will reflect it. We will update our allocations at that time.
