Episode notes
Cut Losses Quickly
- Cut losses quickly when a trade is not working so you keep capital to keep playing.
- Treat loss-cutting as the core risk-management habit that preserves your ability to find winners.
Relative Strength Reveals Early Leaders
- Use relative strength to spot leaders even when their price is low versus past peaks.
- Leaders often bottom before the market and show rising relative strength lines.
Start With Strong Fundamentals
- Start with fundamentals: triple-digit earnings or revenue growth plus institutional accumulation.
- Favor fundamentally strong stocks with volume support and give them more room to run.
