What to do during the stock market rally
Now is an important time to read IBD’s The Big Picture column with the stock trend back in a “confirmed uptrend”.
While it is certainly true that the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq composite are still in confirmed uptrends, the harvest of exploitable stocks has been disappointing. It was not easy to increase exposure.
When it comes to new purchases, what kind of feedback do you get? Do new purchases progress from purchase points? In this case, it is normal to give them space. But don’t be afraid to take partial profits if a gain reaches at least 10%. If new buying is going the wrong way, cut losses when the stock is down 3-4%, instead of waiting for the 7% rule to kick in.
Light and flexible trading is the best course of action at the moment. If the uptrend begins to gain traction again, there will be plenty of opportunities to increase exposure. And don’t be afraid to look for early entries, rather than waiting for a stock to reach a conventional buy point.
