PPO exited prematurely to free up cash for bear mkt ETFs

Holding Rationale for PPO.

After last week's high volume down day in the markets, I became seized with the notion that I needed to free up some cash for more bear market ETF's.  After the most recent modest rally, all but 3 of my 15 bear market ETF's had been stopped out. So, as much as I liked this position, I decided to violate my system, and exit prematurely. I don't do this very often, and when I do, I make sure to keep track of what the stock does after I get out, until my system stop is hit. Then I compare what I would have made or lost by staying in it, with what I made or lost with the grass is greener position that I used the cash for.
