We say: pack up the crystal ball.
The surest way to protect yourself is by firmly sticking to your investment plan. Don’t allow thought, hope, emotion or speculation to cloud your decision-making. Low prices are very tempting, but if a fund, be it a financial ETF or something else, is not above its 200-day moving average, keep an eye on it but pass it by until it does.
Instead of wondering if there’s a turnaround in a certain sector and rolling the dice, why not just be in those areas that are already performing?
