My timing wasn't too off. I was a bit too early coming back in.... but, I'm still in a solid position.
Glad I sold when I did due to the big drawdowns.... I've been able to protect against most losses. Still made a little loss... but overall, isn't too bad.
I am holding around 40% in cash after selling off some profitable entries affer reentering to protect myself further.
I will buy in at lower levels or potentially higher depending how the market goes. But it'll be with a small % of the fund, plus a bigger % in profit or loss entry points. So I am looking in heavy gaps rather than my standard 3 to 5%.
I think this is a wise move as there's so much volatility. I remember an old friend said to me that it's amazing when markets are volatile as it means money can be made quickly. Which is true, if you catch the right side of it. Which I feel I am on... time will tell as always.
Overall, I think things are looking attractive and will either look more attractive or give me more confidence the market will move in the right direction based on my positioning. Obviously I'm looking to have another great year, but it's certainly a year where I shall be more cautious. I think that's a smart move.
As far as short term moves, I am looking forward to earnings coming out soon. It'll give more information for entry points. Exciting!!!
Also interested to see if US and Iran can make a deal - it'll lead to me being more confident in big shake ups to the market being off the table.
And that's it I guess. Sorry if this is a bit rambled and not X + Y = Z ... I'm in the mood to ramble.
Anyway, take it easy.
