Sorry for the late note.

Two things:

1) My friend Len has turned bearish on the market.
2) WHR has reverted to my stop loss position.

The stop loss position on my model is based on an extreme volume to price relationship that is out of the boundaries to hold a stock. The stock could rocket, or plummet, and the volatility is too extreme to measure.

Since the listed “Buy” is currently in the portfolio, WHR will be temporarily replaced with case.

That’s probably not a bad thing since Len is looking for another market decline.

I have some discretionary long positions (not part of the model) that I’m closing as well.
