We managed to be pretty hedged on Friday in our model portfolio. We'll have to see what this follow through is from China.

What's holding up the market is the barrage of Fed buying which we're tracking daily.

The repo market volatility and follow-on Fed support is likely in response to too many hedge funds using the repo market to fund their leverage. This is a problem, but I think only a problem when the Fed stops supporting this market.

Hedge funds were caught off guard in September and had no choice but to bid up the market when funds dried up. They had been getting funds at very low rates to fund their leveraged portfolios and then had no way to fund their portfolio when there was nobody on the other side to lend to them. Either they nee…

In our last post about our rankings we had a score of 93. The new Reuters rankings have us now at 94 out of 100.

My bias is now for a short term pullback but as I just said I want to see what the market wants to do.
I did see the Fed in buying on Friday. That's…
