Over the years, I have always followed the same strategy: when buy signals are high, I begin lowering my exposure; when those signals get very low, I start increasing it. Right now, the number of stocks showing a buy signal is as low as it was during the height of the tariff scare and the onset of COVID—both periods where I doubled my money.Of course, there is no such thing as a 'sure thing,' and the risk is always present. When signals are at extreme lows or highs, you often enter a period of either significant gains or a sharp decline. The market could very well fall hard. That is why I scale in during periods when I believe a turnaround is imminent.In this week’s podcast, I provide more insight into how I play the market and reveal which stocks I am currently holding or preparing to enter.Tune into this week’s episode of Trading Tips with JimStock Market, Investing, Personal Finance, Trading.
