Investors are assessing the damage of the past few days, and they’re not liking what they see.

It’s counterintuitive, but true… “Beating the market” is as much about doing less poorly in a “down market” as it is about doing better than it does in an “up market.” Young-buck alpha males always get this wrong…

Let’s kick off the weekend with some good news … In case you missed it, for the first time in the history of Infinite Momentum Alert, we took profits ahead of our regular monthly portfolio reshuffle. I issued a trade alert to sell half of our Oil States International (OIS) position. We walked away with returns of 55% on half our trade in just three weeks… and this trading cycle isn’t over.

I’m going to start today’s update with some good news. While tech stocks are down for the year… and the S&P 500 Index is barely flat… our Infinite Momentum strategy is making real money. Since our February 6 portfolio reshuffle, our positions are up by an average of 6.3%. Meanwhile, the vaunted “Magnificent Seven” – those mega-cap tech stocks that couldn’t lose – are down about half a percent.

Today, we’ll do what longtime readers know we do every four weeks here in Infinite Momentum Alert… We’ll review the performance of our portfolios over the prior four weeks. This analysis covers the period from January 9 through last Friday, February 6.
