View in browser "Position sizing isn't about predicting the future- it's about being prepared for whatever comes." Karim Rahemtulla, Head Fundamental Tactician, Monument Traders Alliance One of the cardinal sins in investing is putting too many eggs in one basket. When your portfolio is heavily skewed towards a few positions, you're walking a tightrope. A significant downturn in just one of these investments can send your entire portfolio into a tailspin. Storm Clouds on the Horizon We're sailing into choppy waters, folks. The market landscape ahead is as unpredictable as it's been since the pandemic hit. Here's a taste of what we're facing: Election Jitters: The upcoming general election in November could spark market volatility. Seasonal Slumps: September and October have a reputation for being rocky months in the market. Fed Watch: The Federal Reserve's moves (or lack thereof) could send ripples through the economy. Geopolitical Tensions: Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine, and now involving Russia directly, add layers of uncertainty. Top-Heavy Markets: A handful of mega-cap stocks are carrying a disproportionate weight of the market. Now, don't get me wrong. Things could turn out just fine, and that's what we're all hoping for. But it would be naive to ignore how swiftly the market can change course, as we've seen in recent weeks. Here's Why Bitcoin Could Rise to $165,000 Now That the Bitcoin Halving is Here. The same catalyst that kicked off the three major crypto bull markets… just hit again. Here's what you need to do now to profit. The Art of Position Sizing So, how do we protect ourselves? Enter the concept of position sizing. It's not just about picking the right stocks- it's about deciding how much of your portfolio each stock should occupy. Here are some approaches to consider: The Fixed Dollar Approach: Invest a set amount, say $1,000, in each position regardless of the stock price. The Percentage Play: Allocate a fixed percentage of your portfolio to each investment, perhaps 5% or 10%. Volatility-Based Sizing: Adjust your position size based on the stock's volatility, using indicators like the Average True Range (ATR). It calculates the average range between the high and low prices of an asset over a specific period, typically 14 days. ATR doesn't predict price direction, but it shows how much an asset typically moves in a given timeframe. Risk-Based Allocation: Calculate your position size based on your risk tolerance for each trade, often tied to your stop-loss strategy. Each method has its merits, and the best choice depends on your personal risk tolerance, strategy, and financial goals. Personally, I've always favored capping individual stock positions at 4% of my portfolio (excluding income-focused investments like preferred stocks or bonds). The Power of Preparedness Remember, it's too late to batten down the hatches once the storm hits. Position sizing isn't about predicting the future- it's about being prepared for whatever comes. By thoughtfully distributing your investments, you're not just protecting yourself from potential losses – you're positioning yourself to capitalize on opportunities as they arise. In these uncertain times, a well-balanced portfolio isn't just a good idea – it's your financial life jacket. So take a hard look at your investments. Are you overexposed in any areas? Now's the time to make those adjustments. After all, in the world of investing, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. YOUR ACTION PLAN Portfolio Audit: Identify positions exceeding 4% of your total portfolio value. Strategic Rebalancing: Consider trimming overweight positions to align with your 4% risk threshold. Opportunity Watchlist: Create a list of potential buys with ATR-based entry prices. Stay Informed: Set up price alerts for both current holdings and watchlist stocks. Regular Reassessment: Schedule periodic portfolio reviews to maintain optimal position sizes. Don't Just Take My Word For It – See It In Action!
