        We accomplish this with a Beta of 0.14 (one-seventh [1/7th] the volatility of the S&P 500). Here is a screenshot of our year-to-date return (32.59% before fees):


Back-testing of our model supports the Fund generating Alpha with Low Beta over the long-term. Nevertheless we are humbled by our return, and grateful for those who read the Gabriel Report.

        All the Best,

Despite 2nd Wave of COVID, we are Very Bullish

Dear Reader,  We are  very  bullish  this upcoming month.  For those who may (rightfully) inquire how one can be  bullish  given we are experiencing: Historic protests Historic unemployment Historic pandemic (now likely in a 2nd wave) ...it's  very  complicated, but there's statistically sound reason to believe the massive stimulus will buoy the markets in the near-term even in the face of such head winds.   Readers will note I am less  bullish  over the intermediate to long term.     Thank you all for sharing!

S&P 500 Overvalued but Likely to Move Higher

  Market headwinds persist while tailwinds subside slightly.  The S&P 500 remains historically overvalued , while the bullish effects of massive fiscal stimulus persist but are subsiding.   The S&P 500 has traded within a range around 3250 (red line) to near 3600 (green line) for the past couple of months:  The S&P 500 will likely continue to trade within a range until earnings catch up with stock prices and/or additional fiscal stimulus arrives.  When the S&P 500 breaks out we believe it’s more likely above the green line than below the red line.  We believe the S&P 500 is in a bull market and are bullish for the upcoming month.  This report reflects the current opinion of the author.  The report is based upon sources believed to be accurate and reliable.  Opinions and statements about the future expressed in the report are subject to change without notice.  The report is not a solicitation or an off...

Market Valuations in Danger Zone as Federal Reserve Pledges Afterburner
