It's hard to say how this will impact the market in the next coming weeks... But with many other important economic events such as the FED's policy-making meeting and tech earnings report from Apple happening this week... It's safe to say that the next few weeks are going to be volatile, and the market can move either way. But what does this really mean? Is it a bad t

Macro Analysis| What Makes the Market Volatile Recently?

We have mentioned that without further data guidances, the Fed may not give a accurate policy guidance, and market should volatile as "mean-revert" on the Fed's previous path. Therefore, we can see that after the US bond yields panicly broke through the 4% high point last week, they have fallen back somewhat.Of course, the attitudes of some Fed officials are also essential. Last week, three important Fed officials (with voting rights) spoke.Atlanta Fed President Bostic comment, "The Fed will conditionally pause rate hikes in the mid-to-late summer of 2023, but if economic data continues to be stronger than expected, it will need to adjust its expectations for future rate trends."

Missing a stock rally is just a missed opportunity. Great opportunities are everywhere as long as you have an eye for that. We might have missed the boat on a certain stock but there is always another stock which has similar if not greater potential. Better still, it might not even be a stock after all! It could be another investment vehicle. However, being caught in a downtrend is kinda bad in my opinion. Although one might say it's just paper loss as long as you don't sell it, the truth is your money is stucked in the stock market and many of us are too reluctant to let it go or cut loss until it spirals all the way to a pathetic price. That being said, I'd rather miss a rally then being caught in a downtrend.

If you missed a rally and are considering buying in at a higher price, it's important to assess whether the stock's current valuation is reasonable given its fundamentals and potential for future growth. It may be helpful to do your own research to make an informed decision. On the other hand, if you're caught up in a downtrend, it's important to evaluate whether the stock's fundamentals have deteriorated or if it's just a temporary market correction. If it's the former, it may be wise to cut your losses and exit the position. However, if it's the latter, it may present a buying opportunity at a discounted price. Overall, it's important to approach investing with a long-term mindset, focus on the fundamentals of the companies you're investing in, and have a risk management plan in pla

Breakout Trading Strategy With S&P 500

Breakout trading strategy is used by active traders and investors to take a position within a trend's early stages. This strategy can be the starting point for major price moves, expansions in volatility and, when managed properly, can offer limited downside risk.  - A breakout is a potential trading opportunity that occurs when an asset's price moves above a resistance level or moves below a support level on increasing volume. - The first step in trading breakouts is to identify current price trend patterns along with support and resistance levels in order to plan possible entry and exit points. - Once you've acted on a breakout strategy, know when to cut your losses and re-assess the situation if the breakout sputters. - As with any technical trading st

What to do when caught in a bear market with a small account

Economic recessions and stock market collapses are a fact of life. As the COVID-19 outbreak demonstrated, market catastrophe can appear out of nowhere. What matters is how investors respond to that disaster. Do not give up. Do not act hastily to sell into a declining market because of feelings of dread or anxiety. Have enough cash on hand to avoid needing to sell your investments to pay for it. In such cases, managing cash flow and having a firm grasp of the markets are essential. This is why. No matter how severe the drop, investor portfolios have historically recovered from their value losses. With time, markets start to stabilize and see growth. My QYLD$NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF(QYLD)$ , which I just started purchasing, has been my tes

You should not miss this Chinese concept stocks rally

There is a high probability that the first half of this year will not be bad. Expectations and sentiments resonate.

⚠️ Short selling

Sell the stock that the investors do not own to buy them at a lower price. It caused the stock price to dip, the reason could be the company is overvalued, but sometimes the company is just doing fine.  As a value investor, we buy low to sell higher or to hold it long term but we maybe caught in between the short sellers, so if first time buy the stock better check the interest of the short too, to avoid being trapped in the downtrend or missing the rally, or short squeeze 😊 Not saying buy or don't buy it, just be awareof the risk, when short volume suddenly increase, price can suddenly drop too, but for a good company it maybe temporary, and longterm investors can be less worry.  As i picked $Te

Bull markets are born on pessimism

You may have heard of the phrase β€œa dollar saved is a dollar earned.” It encourages one to save. Hence, one may argue missing a rally cannot be worse than getting caught in a downturn. I do not mind holding fundamentally intact stocks in a downturn, and in fact I view a downturn as buying opportunity for strong companies. β€œBull markets are born on pessimism, grown on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria,” John Templeton, one of the world’s most successful mutual-fund managers, had said. β€œThe time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell.” Buying at the time of maximum pessimism is exactly what I plan to do during a downturn. Stock market is the only place on earth where people rushes for the exit during

I think "Caught up in a down trend" is worse for me because I bought $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ at $300 all because of my friend telling me to buy. I lost two-thirds of everything and felt so depressed when I kept looking at the red numbers. It was a very painful lesson that I need to do my own analysis and not be swayed by my friend. Turns out he bought when it was lower and sold shortly after I bought because I took too long to decide buying $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$. By then, the rally was pretty over due to $Twitter(TWTR)$ fiasco. Now all I see is a painful πŸ’”

caught in a downtrend is the worst especially if you are invested. This basically means your investment has shrunk. Missing a rally isok, your net position has not changed. Just missed an opportunity for growth.

I have been in both situation,  but caught in the down trend is worse for me. To make money in the long term, you need to protect your profits in a downturn. A downturn in the major indexes tends to pull down most individual stocks with it. Therefore, it is risky to buy stocks during a correction. It is also critical to keep a close eye on any stocks you already own. Avoid new buys. In a market downturn, the odds of success are not in your favor. You would be better off waiting for the next uptrend to begin before purchasing anew. Protect your profits and cut short losses. Consider selling your weaker holdings. If you own stock that is selling off and you are sitting on a small loss or at breakeven, you may want to take defensive action and reduce your exposure. At the very least, fol

Ive been in both situations before. It's okay to purchase a stock if one feels fear of missing out. But instead of going in the full amount one may start his initial investment with just 1/4 of his usual stake. For example if one usually invests 10k one may instead start with $2500 first. If the price goes lower the investor may put in another $2500 and so on and so forth. In this way the investor will lower his average cost and the risk to reward ratio will be skewed in his favour
