ALJ is getting smashed due to the locale of their Louisiana refinery. An old saying comes to mind “be careful for what you ask for,” with regards to my earlier clamoring for flood waters to rise. At any rate, unless this flood completely wipes out their refinery, in my opinion, this is a buying opportunity. Therefore, I added to my position.
To hedge the drop in sentiment, I bought ERY, all done in my personal. Additionally, I sold out of EXK and TER, only for personal. The reason why I am doing this is because I am super charged leveraged in these names and cannot sustain large percentage drops. With WNR and ALJ dropping off the table this morning, I needed to do something to stem the losses.
For managed accounts, I am sort of riding this shit out, as for now. I want to see how the market responds to a bit of adversity before I make wholesale changes. As the Gods would have it, my cash position is incredibly low now, just under 7%. So, I am feeling the full force of this decline—at the moment.
More later.
NOTE: It looks like yesterday’s Hybrid Overbought signal was right on target.
