WealthProtect Status Update September 2018

This is the monthly WealthProtect System* status update and includes the probability (Low, Mid, High) of a change in status within the next two months.

##System Commentary Major downward moves in emerging foreign markets caused us to trigger out of both Emerging Foreign Equities and Natural Resource Equities. US stocks continued to fare relatively well. Proceeds were generally placed in short-term bond instruments.

##Market Commentary

We are now out in four of our eight asset classes. This is either a temporary foreign issue, perhaps caused by the ongoing trade and tariff issues, or it is an early signal to something more significant that will eventually engulf US stocks as well. No telling yet.

Thanks for your continued trust.
