The market remains in a state of high risk but declined slightly as the week progressed. At the end of the week, the percent of covered equities in the Above Normal Risk State was 84.5%, down from 85.7% the previous week and but still a far cry from the 30% range we experienced back in March.
The percent of covered equities triggering a risk alert on any given day declined as the week progressed running Monday Through Friday as follows: M: 8.6%, Tu: 8.2%, W: 2.4%, TH: 1.0% F: 1.0%

What Equities Are Part of The 15% Not In A State of Above Normal Risk?
As would be expected, the equities that have been able to resist the pull of this negative and highly volatile market and avoid triggering a SmartStop risk alert are those in recession resistant industries or that are benefiting from company specific news and events. Astazeneca (AZN), ConAgra Foods (CAG), British American Tobacco (BTI) and Netflix (NFLX) all triggered SmartStop Reentry Alerts last week signaling a return to normal or better risk exposure.
Not surprising, even in a tough economy when consumers are trying to cut back, they continue to take their medications, eat food, smoke, and rent movies, an inexpensive entertainment choice.
Always know your risk. Monitor - Alert - Protect.
