I have a couple of themes on which I wanted to post, but they will most likely have to wait for later. The market, in the words of the E*Trade commercial, is issuing me a bit of a beat down today, and I have to focus on a little risk management. C’est la vie….
do you have to risk manage as much on up days as on down days?
Yes. But you are on to something if you are suggesting one shouldn’t treat up markets and down markets symmetrically. I will soon be writing a quick piece on a couple basic principles of risk management.
