The only way to comfortably beat the market is buying the trend
And knowing when the trend has gone against you
- You accumulate at the end of Wave 2 and Wave 4
- You Trim at Wave 5
- You exit at Wave B. (Unless it is a Core stock, where I reduce to 50% typically)
When the market is in Wave 5, you allocate to Safe Havens, Bonds, Commodities, Defensive, Dividends and a market in a different cycle.
There will always be money to be made following this very simple strategy. But sticking your head in the ground, thinking the US market can not pull back is a fast track way to blowing up your account.
Prepare at all times.
