Hedge fund margin at highest level in 4 years Message 35167170 53 percent of households in stocks, the highest in history Message 35167171 Combined with the fact that the market capitalization of the USD market now exceeds the GDP of the US, posted earlier, means that the market is priced to perfection and can have a serious accident of Black Swan proportions. Have stop losses in place and use them religious. Don't let a profit turn into a loss. A lot of trader have been saved by the rally from the lows. You don't want to be the one left holding the bag and sitting on massive losses after getting to near even or even up. Keep in mind I am now near retirement, it is coming fast, so I am taking a more conservative lens than younger traders that can afford to ride out a lost decade or at least a lost few years. There is also the potential of a new high on the market before that happens. A market can remain irrational longer that you can remain solvent. Have a trading plan. There is no such thing as investing in a bear market only massive losses starting you in the face. If it does not pay you to hold them, you probably cannot afford to be "invest" in them. Selling covered calls fits in to that strategy but only if you know how to do it properly.
