Equities and Energy Options
The trades executed are for long MSFT, short AAPL in tech; long XOM and short CHK in energy. These trades are based on both sector sentiment and fundamentals. MSFT appears to be in an outperform trend while AAPL is poised to underperformed following poor sales data in China, slowing down of growth.

XOM on the other hand is in an outperform trend which looks to continue as it nears a deal with Russia to deliver gas to China and as the company continues to invest along these lines, giving it an outlet should oil prices drop again. However, will the global economy looking so sluggish right now and no sector appearing to be safe (and should the UK vote to leave the EU, equities across the board may plunge) a cautious position should be taken first and built up in the coming weeks should the Brexit referendum not pass.
Thus a cautious stake in equities (both long and short positions) and a cautious stake in energy (both long and short positions) will be wisest, with 60% of funds remaining in cash, should positions turn against us and require quick action to effect a swing trade. Even buying and holding with equities at these prices (expensive) or shorting with equities at these prices (makes more sense but with markets manipulated by central banks -- whether in China, Europe or the...

This is because you'd
Walk Down Wall Street Stock Valuation from the Sixties through the Nineties Malkiel notes that there were a number of speculative trends from the 1960s to 1990s, and that they all mended up in the same way. Every few years, the stock market has another bubble or speculative mania which soon crashes and levels off, such as overvalued food stocks in the 1980s or the Nifty Fifty blue chips in the 1970s,
