China did its thing and tanked 10%. Overall, not a good week for the commodity complex. Oil took it on the chin. The Nifty managed to end the week in the green.

Thought for the weekend
No strategy is magic; none work all the time. Don’t give up during the periods where it doesn’t seem to work, or when it occasionally blows up. The best time for any strategy typically come after a lot of marginal players give up because losses exceed their pain point.
