The weaker Investments that fell below their Red Lines are not doing as well. The S&P 500 is trying to Close above its Red Line of 2446.
Try to Buy Investments that can Hold above their Red Lines.

Many like to Buy the day before, near the Close, if the Money Wave is going to create a Buy Signal (Closing > 20).
Don’t Buy if the Investment has already popped up too much. Money Wave Buys are usually good for a 3-6 % move in a few days. We will “Not Log” trades if the Reward/Risk is not at least 2:1.
Hi, I have some problem in defining the positon for a trade like IPI.
Suppose I have 50K and as you suggest I split in five positions. That means I have 10K to invest in IPI and I should buy 10.000 / 3,32 = 3.012 shares.
Suppose that the trade go wrong and I take the full loss at the stop. That means that I will have a loss of (2,41-3,32) x 3.012 = – 2.770 or 6% of the initial portfolio.
Does it make sense?
Thanks
That is a great question Gian. Yes a Long Term Investment needs plenty of slack to fluctuate when coming off the bottom…
If IPI does not go broke, it could possibly return to 50 or 100 % of the previous High of $40.22… That means somebody paid $121,143 for the 3012 shares that you are considering buying for $10,000.
You might not want to risk a 28% loss to the Green Line on $10,000. Another way to look at it is Reward / Risk. It is possible that IPI could return to $20 or higher over several years (or $16.68 gain).
It could also go down and you could lose $0.92 if it Closed below the Green Line. So your possible Reward / Risk could be $16.68 / $0.92 or 18 : 1 !!! Not many Investments offer that potential, ever…
You might want to Buy less than $10,000 IPI, if you don’t want the downside potential, but then you could miss a HOMERUN.

Thanks for the replay.
Anyway why don’t you use the approach where for every position you risk only 1% of the porfolio?
I mean instead of putting at risk 6% of the potfolio you could put at risk only 1% and take advantage of the 18:1 potential.
I am sking you to understand if you have verifiec that with your method is better to use the same amount of money for each investment instead of the same amout of risk (1% of the capital)
Thanks,
Having only 5 positions should apply to Short Term only, which use much tighter Stop Losses.
Thank you.
Ok thanks
