The Bottom Line
Most investors buy an index fund and hope for the best. The Shield is a systematic addition to that strategy, designed to signal when the trend favors growth and when it's time to defend.
Addressing the Noise: This Week’s Context
We include these events only to address the “fear & greed” that dominates the financial media. While these are notable, they are secondary to the trend:
Japan Government Bonds: Japan’s rising interest rates are causing bond market volatility.
Greenland: Geopolitical tension has increased following the proposed 10%–25% escalating tariff on European countries.
The Credit Card Cap: A proposed 10% cap on credit card interest rates is creating localized pressure on the financial sector.
Signal Over Noise
Our system is built on the reality that the “noise” of news headlines and geopolitics is a distraction. While headlines explain why the market moved yesterday, the Trend tells you how to manage risk today.
In this system, the trend isn’t just a guide—it is the primary purpose. The only objective way to manage risk and remove emotion from your portfolio is to stay on the right side of the Trend.
We don’t manage news; we manage risk through the trend.
If the headlines scare you, turn off the television and look at the trend.
