Merck was under pressure on Friday as were most stocks as investors bailed out of stocks once again over worries about interest rates.
In this kind of high volatility market I prefer staying with quality stocks and taking my time putting in place positions. To do that I use a number of trading strategies designed to protect my capital from losses during period of high volatility when you can never be sure what might happen to stocks. While I doubt any kind of bear market or huge sell-off is in the works at this stage, it’s nice to know that I have at my ready, trading strategies for that “just in case” scenario.
This trade outline is a strategy discussion looking at two methods that can be combined to protect a stock caught in a severe decline to protect capital in use and work toward keeping profits rolling into the portfolio.
This trade also includes a short look at a trade done in Microsoft stock in 2008 to 2009 to demonstrate how this combination strategy can be applied successfully. I also discuss how even the smallest of investors can continue to trade highly volatile markets if done properly.
