Down move may be just around the corner

Another low volume up day for market. Moves like this on low volume have high probability of failure. Those becoming comfortable with long side might find a nasty surprise in a day or two.
The 50% plus in a month reading is currently at 3. The indicator has been around this reading for sometime and a down move here might washout pre mature bulls and set up for sustainable bounce. Individual stocks are worth examining for buys here. The fresh breakouts are from new sectors and unlikely to be affected by a shakeout.

On average how many positions do you hold in your portfolio?

thanks

Around 5 or less. Concentration builds wealth, diversification protects wealth.

KN said...

Interesting, do you pyramid on winning positions or do you use the full position initially?

Pradeep Bonde said...

Pyramid a lot. But on some plays like earnings I might put in a large position in the beginning itself. The way the earnings trade works on unknown stock is it just bursts in to 50% to 300% move very rapidly without offering opportunities to pyramid. Plus in such trades there is no negative catalyst till next earnings or atleast for next 4-6 weeks. Now some of these learnings have happened after trading it for five six years, so I just know what is going to work mostly before hand.
