Agreed. The only protection is the standard one, a stop. At the point where one of the short term trends flips to negative, go to the sidelines. A long time ago, commissions were a hindrance and people held on, but now the only obstacle is the decision process itself.
New ATH, if it occurs, will panic the bears. We are so close, with many short term positive TA factors, that I think it will happen. The resulting high should be, at that time, a great short.
Good to hear from you.
Stay on the right side of the cycle!
