Here's Hoping I Get Whipsawed

I sold half positions on a big tech stock and a big industrial name. I had planned to sell some of a consumer name but held off for now.

I reduced exposure by about 2% or 3% but the reduction in domestic exposure is more like 5%. I hope I an wrong and the market rallies up over the next few days. I have a couple of other ideas about what to sell, though. I am thinking that starting strong tomorrow and finishing weak will trigger another sale but I will let you know.

Disciplined baby steps.

Roger, what's your thought on the correction (hopefully!) taking place in Brazil the last couple days? Time to load up some more?

there are a couple different things going on with all of latam right now. A lot of stocks and ETFs are noticably cheaper. I wrote about this region the other day both here and on Real Money that I had reduced a little exposure about a week or two ago.

There feels like there may be a little more room on the down side but anyone that is interested in diversification should own some here regardless of what direction the next 10% may be in...my opinion.
