If you've been with me since February, none of this should surprise you.
I told you the tech trade was dead. I told you Bitcoin was done.
I told premium subscribers the Strait of Hormuz situation would pump inflation, and therefore tech stocks one last time, so we stayed in, riding the trend up, ready to exit at a moments notice… Ready to exit when they receive “portfolio shift” emails, while enjoying their lives otherwise.
I told you the eclipse series we entered in mid-February rhymed with 2008. I told you to exit the Magnificent 7 and rotate into Main Street America, the S&P 493, the boring low-beta names that actually produce cash flow.

Now I'm telling you something else.
I've rotated even more heavily into cash. This is the most defensive I've been since I went nearly fully to cash back in April, and I'm doing it on purpose, right now, ahead of eclipse season.

The Leo solar eclipse on August 12th hits the heart of the financial system. Leo rules gold, speculation, and royal authority.
A solar eclipse in Leo during an inflation regime, with the Fed credibility in question, is a direct challenge to the stability of financial authority.
