OK.
First of all, I am not eager to post any more after 10am speech as I am frankly cowed by statements such as "we will prosecute manipulators & those sending false information." Whatever that means, we can be sure that those who are truly responsible will be passed over and the public's non-discriminating eye will fall upon people who not in a million years would ever be reasonably considered to be in violation. Therefore post accordingly.
While I may or may not agree with the original poster, I would ask in such a scenario, what should you do?
Should you be:
a) 100% flat
b) no change with buy orders on the way down / sell orders on way up?
c) hedged with puts/calls?
d) take out a hedged position against core equities through ETF's (i.e. use one of the short ETF's vs your long investment position)
Ideas? I have no clue what the best strategy would be.
For the record, I have reallocated and am buying here. I will continue to buy on the way down as much as my stomach will permit. Its the patriotic thing to do.
Full disclosure: long multiple equity, mutual fund, & equity fund positions with bids on the way down to accumulate more. long multiple closed end funds. Long OTM SPY puts.
