Judd’s room is a Q&A session for members, which starts before the New York Stock Exchange opens.
It’s a place for RIA’s, Private Investors, and Daytraders to get a market overview and ask risk management questions about sectors or names they’ve an interest.
The session starts with me highlighting the key market drivers while you’re watching my screens.
You see what I see as I explain the possibilities and the risks involved in specific instruments.
We cover Currencies, Bonds, Commodities & Equities
The beauty of the room is that you get an unbiased view.
1998-2002 I had similar morning meetings with my proprietary trading group.
Now you can get the benefit of a 40+ yr. market veteran who’s not afraid to say I don’t know.
Judd’s Room 2018-11-12 Update for Long-Term Investors/RIA’s
10/4 went neutral my risk models and Indices for the second time this year.
The first defensive call was 1/23/18.
S&P broke 300 points
I don’t do it often!
It was a caution signal for long-term investors to take money off the table or tighten up their risk management.
In addition, we recommended buying protection via Long VXX
Our medium-term view is that we will not see new Index highs this year.
