Our BMP (BAM Model Portfolio) is off to a great start in July as the S&P 500 sells off sharply today, led by the energy and financial sectors. (both bearish focus sectors in our choice of ETF’s)

Normally, you won’t see intraday commentary coming from me (because that level of service is reserved for my hedge fund clients) but when I see a key opportunity to teach you all a little more about behavioral analysis or the BAM Model, I’ll be exploiting that opportunity.

As subscribers become more familiar with the BAM Model and its nuances, you’ll begin to understand what my hedge fund clients already know.

The BAM Model is unlike any other forecasting service when it comes to controversial predictions–especially when related to seasonality, cycles, and other widely understood Wall Street “norms”–and because of that, we never pay any attention to cycle studies, historical trading trends, or even “The Super Bowl Indicator.”

Today is a good example of what makes us “different” (and what I believe adds significant value to clients and subscribers) because pre-holiday trading sessions are typically bullish and as a result, forecasting services are typically bullish.  It’s simply a fact that most forecasting services either default to a bullish stance or choose the even more weasel-like route of a “neutral” call on trading sessions just prior to a holiday break.

The BAM Model, on the other hand, makes predictions based strictly on the behavioral analysis of the human beings trading the market.

That said, today is a perfect example of the model acting in a very contrarian manner as we came into the session EXTREMELY bearish—as displayed by the positions in our BMP (BAM Model Portfolio)—and have been well rewarded by the worst pre forth of July trading session in the last one-hundred years.
