December 2018 portfolio positions

Chicken Little remains prepared for a deflationary depression by being long US Treasuries with a good amount of cash. Chicken Little has begun three probing bear market actions. Short emerging marketsshort US stocks, and long gold

These bear raid positions are small. Larger bear market operations will be on the Chicken Little agenda if the Dow Jones Industrial Average goes below the February 2018 low of 23,533.
