Just a quick note on this week's update. The model that we use has obviously moved into a defensive mode, as the market has started to show some weakness. This is a non emotional approach that simply follows the strength or lack thereof.

Thank you for putting your trust and time into my ability to create a model that will hopefully add value to all of us. I've started this journey in 2000 as a Nasdaq Market Maker. I also worked as a Proprietary trader, Financial Advisor and currently I manage a hedge fund. I have learned many lessons throughout my career and still continue to learn to this day. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you via this newsletter.

Thank you,

Dominick Manaro
