Episode notes
Market Timing with Trend Gauge
- Use a trend gauge monitoring indexes and leading stocks to manage portfolio market timing.
- This helps confirm the health of the market before increasing exposure after a follow-through day.
Size Positions by Volatility
- Use volatility-adjusted beta (RVAB) to size stock positions proportionally to their risk.
- This balances portfolio risk by making more volatile stocks smaller positions and vice versa.
Know Your Portfolio Risk
- Always estimate your portfolio's balance at risk (RAR) to understand potential losses.
- Knowing your max loss ahead reduces panic and helps manage risk calmly.
