How do YOU plan to avoid the next 2008 crash?

Put your money on the sidelines...Money market. Wait for the Fed to meet at least 3 times. Two of those three times should each have a 1/4% rise. Put money in a CD...Repeat!! When you say..."can this market get any worse", come back in.

 

Was thinking more of what you were saying. You seem to be saying..."I want to preserve capital and still profit greatly from a major bear market". Isn't there always an inverse relationship between risk and return in almost anything? I could put you into some Puerto Rican or Venezuelan bonds if you wish??

 

I have no long-term investments in the stock market. However, I trade long-term and will be shorting any bear market that occurs just as hard as I traded the bull market until Feb.

If I was long US equities I would look to get out of these positions if the S&P and its 20EMA close below the 50EMA.

 

Stops with the madness .... err I mean use stops to avoid the madness.

Retailers are always paranoid of having their stops hit lol.

 

how about asking your question in one short sentence?

 

Using forwards, swaps and 3x inverse ETF’s. Not too hard to understand.

 

Unless you are a mom and pop retail like some of us here.

 

like I will tell you my plans pffff

 

What makes you think there would be a crash?

Everyone avoids things that do not happen by doing nothing.

 

You are saying this time it is different?
