Handling A Correction By Adjusting Strategies Against Valuation Levels

Aug 28, 2013 | Profit And Income Strategies, Stock Market Outlook

With the recent Syrian issue now coming to the forefront of political and perhaps military matters it is important to know what to be on the watch for and how to decide what actions to take when investing in the present unpredictable climate. This is not a bear market but downturns often can feel like they are. Recently, the Dow has had a tougher time than either the S&P 500 or the NASDAQ but overall all three markets will eventually move in tandem with one another. Therefore I always use the S&P 500 as my measuring tool. Here are the levels within the S&P 500 that I am watching and the various strategies I am using and their adjustments dependent on the S&P 500 valuation levels.

This is a strategy article for FullyInformed Members. It looks at how I have been investing over the past 3 months based on adjusting the various strategies in use as the S&P 500 fluctuated between different valuation levels.  To read the rest of this strategy analysis, FullyInformed Members can login directly through this link or Members can sign in to the full members site here.
