Stop Losses

When the relative strength of a stock or fund goes negative or a major support level is violated, sometimes the fundamental reason for it isn't known until much later.

Don't worry about the WHY. The reasons are not relevant. Sell the position. Raise cash. As we all know--stock can go down. Stock can go way down. Stock can go all the way to zero!

Country Credit violated its support line at $33 back in early April. Today, the stock is trading at $14.

Don't be the last one out with nothing left. Use technical analysis to determine your stop losses and keep emotions out of it.

All the hype making you hyper?

This is not the time to get caught up in the hype of news stories and CNBC nonsense.

Take a step back. Look at your portfolio in an organized way. Determine what supply-demand relationships are in all the positions in your account. Do this without emotion. Do it in a logical way. See what your results are. For a moment, forget the names of your stocks. Call them X and see what your results are.

Now you know what's in your portfolio and what your relationships are, next time, I'll tell you what to do with those positions...

The Bunny's Back With a Warning!

After a brief hiatus, Portfolio Bunny is back. Unfortunately, it's not to deliver good news...

There are times to invest in this market, and there are times to be careful. This is the time to be careful.

My technical indicators last week reversed down again. That is the third time this has happened this year. That's only the fourth time this has happened in the past 35 years. That means the market is at a very high risk level.

Be careful investing right now. It is time to raise cash, hedge, and watch what sector you are invested in. The wrong sector can kill your portfolio!
