Strong Pick Up Due to Short Positions
It's back to our winning ways for the ValuEngine Forecast 16 Market Neutral
Strategy Newsletter in April/May with some real nice performance from our short side.
Our gain of 5.15 % versus the benchmark MLSAX's* gain of 0.39% was a significant
beat. The modified stop-lossed strategy with a suggested 60-40 allocation trailed the
standard market neutral allocation with a gain of 3.92%. The trailing 12 month
percentage return is 17.75% for the newsletter and 8.52% for the MLSAX Long-Short
Fundand 12.87% for the SP500. Since inception, our portfolio has returned 124.24% vs
the MLSAX return of 31.97%.*
*NOTE: We have begun to use the MLSAX Long-Short Fund as a benchmark. This compares the performance of our strategy to
other similar strategies. We also include the S&P500 numbers.
It was a bit of a paradox this month as our longs were lacklusterwith a hit rate
just over 50%-- despite the overall market putting in some new highs. Bright spots for
longs were Western Union, Starz Liberty, and TeeKay Tankers. Thankfully, our shorts
picked up the slackand then some. A hit rate of 88% with big pick ups from
Peabody Energy, Caesar's, Eneroc, and YRC Worldwide powered up our overall
gains. Only Ignite ruined the short party, with losses in excess of 20%.

With the latest market leg up and the new highs, we have seen a spike in our
valuation figures yet again. While we remain convinced that US equities remain the
"only game in town" as long as the Fed policy of zero to-low interest rates remains in
place and the rest of the world struggles to deal with a variety of crises, a relatively
strong dollar, relatively low energy prices (although not as low as expected just a few
months ago), etc.
However, we have been on quite a run since the devilish interday S&P 500 low
of 666 back in March, 2009. Where, oh where is the "BUY GOLD! BUY GUNS! BUY
SEEDS!" crowd today? We finally see signs of hope across the labor market, with some
increases in wages, better hiring, etc. The recovery there is much needed, and
represents the last piece of the puzzle to end the greatest economic crisis since the
Great Depression.
However, all good things must come to an end. But for that to occur, money
must rotate somewhere. And we simply have not found that place--yet. But keep in
mind that in the past, these sorts of valuation levels have been correlated with market
declines. This is a time for investors to make sure they are prepared for a move to the
downside by taking some profits or hedging against a sell off. Of course, this may be
a blip and we may not see a decline. We operated under a valuation warning for
much of 2013 and 2014 during this unprecedented rally.
