What to do in the stock market rally?
Now is an important time to read the IBD column, The Big Picture, where the stock market trend is back in a “confirmed uptrend.”
During this time it is important to be flexible. Despite the early November rebound, investors should remain cautious and limit exposure to no more than 40%. Await further confirmation of continued strength before adding another exposure. An immediate spread across the major stock indices would be a sign to remain more defensive.
If your recent stock purchases continue to make progress, you should be more confident about the stock market rally. But sharp reversals and losing trades would of course be signs of keeping more of your powder dry.
