Timing the Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
what to do now
This is a time when you need to interact with your patients. Market bulls can rise decisively relatively quickly. But that hasn’t happened yet, and the Nasdaq now appears at increased risk of a decisive decline.
Once the market gets back on track, there will be plenty of buying opportunities soon. Therefore, investors should be prepared. Keep your watchlist up to date, keep an eye on the market, and be ready to act.
But don’t act yet. Don’t get excited about indexes and major stocks moving within recent ranges. While many stocks performed well, there were also stocks that fell sharply on Wednesday.
U.S. bond yields, tensions in the Middle East, and earnings season all have the potential to be negative for markets and individual stocks, and there are clear downside risks. It’s hard to see sustained market gains when U.S. Treasury yields are rising.
Your exposure should be small to moderate at most, with the ability to scale out if your position or the market as a whole takes a turn for the worse.
