Market Summary:
In this video, I discuss a quick lesson/observation about when the Nasdaq Composite gets a little extended from its 21-day. Overall, there’s little distribution and the major indexes are in a strong uptrend. As I mentioned recently, there doesn’t need to be any major calls on these videos if I don’t see anything out of the ordinary. I want to try and keep things simple when possible. I suggest sticking with the trend, getting strong entry points, taking profits into strength if you are a trader, and accepting the volatility if you have a longer-term timeframe. As always, have a loss cutting discipline if any of your positions turn against you. If you want to speculate in some riskier stocks, it’s ok but please don’t do it with a large portion of your portfolio. Also, don’t chase extended stocks and develop bad habits. I know it’s a strong market, but please stick to a disciplined process. If you have any questions, you can ask them during the next webinar which will be Sunday, February, 21st at 11AM EST. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
