CHART OF THE DAY: Decision Process Hierarchy

Ultimately, my decision making process is designed to simplify the complexity of a non-linear ecosystem:

A) What economic Quad is the country in question in … and
B) Does my multi-factor and multi-duration market Signal agree with that Quad nowcast

For those of you still asking why I covered my Tesla (TSLA) mistake at $500.22/share on January 16^th, my decision making process is the same for a stock as an expected asset allocation for an economic Quad:

A) The call my analyst is making on a stock is usually trumped by
B) My multi-factor and multi-duration market signal

*Note: that’s why I’m accountable for my mistake – my analyst didn’t short or cover the position in RTA. I did.
