Key insights
- The post discusses the possibility of a market correction in the next 6 months and explores strategies for mitigating potential losses. The author is considering implementing trailing stops, while also seeking insights from others regarding their anticipations and actions. This reflects a cautious sentiment, potentially leading to reduced risk appetite among some investors, which could exert downward pressure on US equities.
I guess a double barreled question.
First, do you anticipate a market correction (or a more significant bear market, or market crash) within the next 6 months.
Second, if you do are you doing anything to change your investment allocations, or anything else like setting stops or shifting to cash or bonds.
Have set trailing stops in the past and mostly gotten burned on them a bit but thinking of setting up 15-20% trailing stops on my investments in the current market.
Curious what other folks are anticipating and doing.
