My goal for you with my monthly RAGE Gauge is to provide you with a quick reading of how risk is being perceived right nowโ€”how risk is being interpreted.

In my line of work, there is never enough attention given to downside protectionโ€”keeping what you haveโ€”too much energy is wasted thinking about keeping up with the other guy.

In that world, the grass is always greener because of: How much โ€œtheyโ€ have, where their kids go to school, what they do for a living, and where they live. โ€œThey,โ€ take up an enormous amount of energy.

A more efficient use of energy focuses on what you do to protect what you have and how you keep your family safe. I believe that is what connects you and me, and why youโ€™re reading this.

With that in mind, we need to know how โ€œtheyโ€ are measuring risk. It helps us protect what we have because โ€œtheyโ€ can create a lot of problems in the world.

With that in mind, โ€œtheyโ€ are simply not paying enough attention to todayโ€™s risks. Itโ€™s why this monthโ€™s readingโ€”the lowest on recordโ€”is reading low risk. โ€œTheyโ€ are not factoring in enough risk, right now.

You and I are living through a crisis in yield. We need to recognize that risk, and prepare accordingly. โ€œTheyโ€ are certainly not paying attention.
