MATT MCALEER'S WEEKLY RECAP
As part of Cumberland Advisors' continuous effort to maintain strong customer relationships, we offer this week's short video discussing current market conditions and how we are positioning portfolios.

-What encourages us?
-What causes a "higher-low"?
-Where are we stuck?
-Let's talk about stepping back and recency bias.
-We share some charts from Dorsey Wright and look at performance.
-Where should allocations have been made at various times?
-Flexibility and the ability to always take a look at multiple asset classes and try to analyze risk and reward is necessary for long-term performance.
-Enjoyed our time at recent Sarasota Chamber of Commerce get-together and we want to share our favorite quote from guest speaker, Tony Moore.
-"What got you here, won't get you there." -TM
-Matt paraphrases, "What got you here investing-wise, may not get you there in the future."

Democratic presidential candidates Castro, Sanders, and Warren have explicitly sponsored wealth taxation.
Readers may view the candidates’ proposals at their campaign websites:
Castro: https://issues.juliancastro.com/working-families-first/
Sanders: https://berniesanders.com/issues/tax-extreme-wealth/
Warren: https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/ultra-millionaire-tax
A New York Times article published last week considers the economic implications of both Sanders’ and Warren’s proposals: “Democrats’ Plans to Tax Wealth Would Reshape the U.S. Economy” (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/us/politics/sanders-warren-wealth-tax.html).
