We have experienced a bull market unlike any other in the history of the stock market. Over the last +10 years we have gone from steady growth to parabolic strides to the upside. During this market strength we have not experienced any legitimate pullback which is necessary for healthy price action. Some people are blind to the fact that markets cannot continue going up without eventually reversing to the downside, often times giving back months of price appreciation in just a few days. My reason for making this post is not to necessarily call the top but to make it very clear that your upside from here is greatly outweighed by the present risk. Shorting is not a part of my trading strategy, instead I short by hedging with cash or other non-correlated investment vehicles. It is very important to protect your investing capital so that when the market does inevitably correct you will be in a position to benefit greatly. I am not a financial advisor, please do your own research before making any investments.
