This came round on Twitter yesterday and I thought it was utterly brilliant and something worth thinking about and understanding if we want to survive the current Nasty Markets. I say this is a “2 minute Blog“, but take your time and think about the messages here - they are bang on the money. It uses the word ‘Trader’ but equally applies to Long Term Investors and it is worth taking heed.

I HATE THIS BLOG. I DON’T THINK IT IS PARTICULARLY GOOD BUT I HAVE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT BEAR TO WORK ON IT ANY MORE. APOLOGIES TO READERS WHO WILL HAVE TO WADE THROUGH A LOT OF CRUD AND REPETITION TO REALLY FIND THE QUALITY HERE AND I REALISE IT IS WAY TOO LONG BUT I JUST CAN’T STAND WORKING ON IT ANYMORE (apologies for using the word ‘Bear’ as well……)
Introduction Markets are clearly pretty unpleasant at the moment if you are trading on the Long tack - we are officially in a Bear Market and the Trend is clearly down so it is easier to make money going Short and this Blog should help Readers think about how some very simple Shorting techniques can be applied to ‘Hedge’ a Long Portfolio. In other words it’s about positioning your Portfolio so that when the Markets fall your Short Positions offset the Losses on your Long Positions to some extent. This can have an extremely beneficial impact on your Returns for the Year. |
