Manage your Risk, let the market decide its low point.

From Behind the Headlines comes advice that perfectly echoes what I think & say.

“And shame on everyone who thinks they know where the market will bottom, when the market will bottom and how it will bottom. Nobody knows, not even technical analysts.

Nobody knows what the market will do. But what the good technicians can do better than anyone else is assess market risk and market reward and take a position – figuratively or literally.

And in today’s market, Larry Williams said it best that the best risk control is in position size.

If it is wrong, they stop out for a limited loss. If it is right, they add to the winner and ride it until it no longer has a good risk/reward profile. ”

The Kirk report Says:
While all of us would very much like to return to business as usual, unfortunately there’s little reason to believe that will happen anytime soon. The best we can do is manage our risk, stay opportunistic, keep our emotions in control, and keep our eyes open for signs that the worst is really behind us. As long as you do that, you’ll be fine no matter what comes our way next.
