I haven't made any trades in a week and a half RR, but I'm definitely thinking about lightening up (30% cash right now). Read the Credit Bubble Bulletin a couple of times this week, and can't see any way around a crash of some sort. Gold, oil, you name it, they'll all go down as everybody hits the sell button. Those with liquidity will rule. You still thinking along the same lines? CD

Excellent post Red!! More and more Canadian investors are logging onto trading sites and taking control of their portfolios and investments. Investor Economics reports that the value of online trading in Canada this year will reach more than $178 billion, up 19 per cent from last year. The key to being successful in volatile markets is to stay involved with your portfolio, use all the tools and resources at your disposal, and change your investment strategies to coincide with changes in the market. "People need to understand how the market works," says Ron De Appolonia, manager for Canada of the Online Trading Academy. "If you lose money, that's a wake up call that you've got to change strategies. Someone who changes tactics based on what the market is doing is going to be the profitable trader." Online trading sites today have lots of information, reports, analyses and tools to help self-directed investors be as successful as possible in all types of markets.
