IV,
If you have a few stocks in your portfolio, then that's a lot of "work" isn't it?
Thanks.
I will add another point here.
If you have stocks you have homework.
You are either a trader or an investor.
If you are a trader, there are basic 'market protection mechanisms' that 'insure' your position.
If you are an investor, then its basic homework.
When a market is in a secular bull phase its easy, everyone makes money.
But i question whether the market is still in such a phase, in fact the GLOBAL secular bull market may have finished in 2000 .
Refer back to my stragic investment view 2010.
In either case i'm still happy i can make money in either scenario.
