Preserve some capital. >>> Ha ha, good morning Stan. Preservation is the name of the game my friend. My capital preservation stocks are DIS, HAS, KM, NTRS, KEY, MO, SUT, WHT, KAB, and APU. Many of these pay very handsome dividends. It's the way to go if you just have to be in the market at all times, and you can't stand the feeling of earning peanuts in your cash account. There are many new age investors that have no clue how to trade a BEAR Market. IMO, you have to remain flexible in this type of environment. Volatility will rip you to shreds, especially if you day trade on margin. You could be correct in your thinking, but end up getting squeezed because of margin requirements. Best bet is to build a base in your portfolio first. Then use the leverage of your core holdings to trade short-term positions. Reinvest dividends to add to your total return as you go forward. This sort of thinking will grant you some longevity in tumultuous markets. Best of luck today, B
