With the understanding that the most confusing market to play is a one directional market (either up or down) since predicting turning points always seems to be an uphill task. We have decided to further caution traders on the very sharp uptrend generated by the market points in recent times. It is needful to understand when to go, when to hold on and when to run. Setting targets and avoiding greediness in every position is very important.
As can be seen, every stock looks good and attractive, because the general market fundamental is constantly rubbing off on them all. Thus, like we have constantly warned, analyzing equities of interest individually will give a clearer picture of positions.
We maintained that opting for growth oriented listed equities will largely improve portfolios’ value. In other words, highly leveraged, cyclical and speculative companies that survived the recession (on the strength that the current economy recovery signs will not fail) should be considered for better performance. Safe Trade.
