Ray Dalio's Hedge Fund Risks Being Dumped by Pension on Weak Returns
Katherine Burton and Melissa Karsh - Bloomberg
A California county's $21 billion pension is considering whether to drop Ray Dalio's hedge fund after it underperformed for most of the past 16 years.
The Orange County Employees Retirement System's investment in Bridgewater Associates's Pure Alpha fund has returned an annualized 4.5% since 2005, about 2.5 percentage points less than its benchmark, according to a memo seen by Bloomberg from Meketa Investment Group, the pension's consultant. The strategy has topped OCERS's target only once in the past five years and has trailed on a seven- and 10-year time horizon.

Steven M. Sears - Barron's
It's time to think about skipping strike prices across the surface of the options market.
The trade is a lot like skipping stones across the surface of a lake, only it's potentially profitable, and nowhere near as relaxing. But with so many stock prices at or near record highs, stock investors may find some appealâand a lot of potential moneyâselling weekly call options with strike prices that are at, or just above, the associated stock price.

Opinion: Stock-market 'internals' are improving, so stay bullish on the S&P 500
MarketWatch
The S&P 500 index continues to trade near all-time highs. The NASDAQ-100 also is repeatedly making new all-time highs.
Meanwhile, market internals - while not wildly bullish - have improved for the first time about 10 weeks. That has resulted in some "catch-up" by the Russell 2000 index, but it is still well below its all-time highs.
