Time to Hedge?

By Brad Lamensdorf

In the short-term, the market is now overbought. This chart, the Short-Term Composite, courtesy of Investors Intelligence, represents a composite of dozens of other indicators.

Right now, it’s reaching an extreme level on the upside.

While the current reading of 75 doesn’t indicate a crash is imminent, it does mean the easy money has been made from the extreme oversold reading in September. Back then, I wrote about how the market should rally from that level.

That rally has played out from a low-risk point of view.

As a trader, it’s time to pare back long positions or hedge.
