Hedging some of our gains going into a volatile period...

The past few months have been a wild ride for the stock market.

But if you've followed my recommendations - especially during the August 5th yen carry trade sell-off - you should’ve cashed in big time. Back then, we witnessed one of the sharpest VIX spikes in history—a signal that most investors were running for the hills.

Yet, I told you that was the time to buy, putting my money where my mouth and deploying more cash into the market than at any other time in 2024.

Fast forward, and here we are—12% higher in just six weeks. But while we nailed this, we're on the polar opposite side of market sentiment.

And that means we need to play some defense.
