Market Summary:
We’re in a bull market, but there will be pullbacks, shakeouts, and corrections along the way. Earlier this week was a period of higher than normal volatility in many growth stocks. If this volatility is too much for you, here are some suggestions I’ve presented many times over the years: 1) If you are playing for a bigger move in a stock, you just have to deal with volatility. 2) Smaller positions with a longer timeframe can help, so you are not nervous over every tick. 3) Take profits into strength. 4) Use a blend of ETFs and stocks to mitigate volatility. 5) No matter your timeframe, make sure to get strong entry points to give you a cushion during normal pullbacks.

From here, I’m going to continue to shut out the noise, keep things simple, and stick to my main guidelines during power trends: 1) Use the 21-day as your guide. In other words, if we are extended from this level, don’t be surprised to see minor pullbacks through price and/or through time. 2) Expose yourself to strong stocks and ETFs. Between the Focus List and the other stocks, there are plenty of ideas in these videos. 3) Get strong entry points near the 21-day and 50-day moving averages. 4) Manage your trades as best as possible based on your timeframe, risk tolerance, and overall investment plan. I can give guidelines, but ultimately, you need to decide what position sizes to use, the number of positions to own, when to take profits, and where to set your stop losses. Thank you and good luck for the remainder of the week.
