Welcome to Momentum Monday.
So it was a tough week. Last month saw a tough start to the month too. Does a volatile market mean that we are at the end of the Bull Market?... Maybe. Am I going to try to predict it? No.
I will just wait for the charts to tell me whether I need to do anything or not. Remember… those investors that avoided much of the GFC did so not because of a special formula … rather it was because there wasn’t a single indicator known to man that didn’t say ‘sell’. Sure the exact points may have been different, the broad narrative was still the same. And as a Momentum investor during that time it was risk-off. So if your charts weren’t 100% you suffered a big drawdown. Even if you were tempted by that mini-rally that happened in April-May of 2008, respecting the chart still saved you a lot of pain, meaning you could live to fight another day and thank heavens if you could.
