What to do during the stock market rally
Now is an important time to read IBD’s The Big Picture column after the stock market trend transitioned from a “pressured uptrend” to a “confirmed uptrend”.
At this stage, it is important to be flexible. Despite recent gains, investors should remain cautious, limiting their exposure to more than 40%. Wait for more confirmation of continued strength before adding more exposure. An immediate distribution would be a sign to stay more defensive.
If your recent stock purchases continue to progress, you should feel more confident in the stock market rally. But sharp reversals and losing trades would of course be signs to keep more of your powder dry.
