- Active trading management
- Systematically determine relative strength of a stock within its sector and overall markets.
- Buy/Hold strategy, with majority of stocks, will decimate your portfolio in the current market.
- Apply day trader techniques to the more predictable commodity-based stocks during this bear market. Shorts are also viable in the current economy. Spend time understanding the Chinese market and individual stock plays in that market.
- Goal in a bear market is to come out with enough at the end to buy up low-priced equity, so at the very least, minimize losses by tightening loss tolerance percentage and portfolio exposure per trade.
- Don't Be Greedy: set modest and pre-determined profit targets. Use trailing stops to lock in profits.
- Be Patient: let the set ups come to you.
- Be Flexible: there are many fish in the sea, so don't get married to any one play or risk missing better opportunities.
