INSIGHT

Identifying Market Capitulation

  • Capitulation is best identified by high volume gap down days and breadth thrusts that signal market bottoms.
  • Power trends and market sentiment data can empirically guide buy-the-dip strategies.
ADVICE

Use Risk Reversals for Volatile Stocks

  • Consider risk reversal options: sell puts and buy calls to participate in upside while limiting risk.
  • Use this structure especially for volatile stocks to avoid day-to-day babysitting.
ADVICE

Smart Stop Loss Strategies

  • Use flexible, thoughtful stop rules rather than rigid ones to avoid being stopped out prematurely.
  • Allow for volatility by not placing stops exactly at moving averages but slightly below with cushion.
