Consider this.. you’re a hedge fund, or a family office managing millions... the recent pullback in the stock markets will be a contrarian indicator for you. Do you now sell into drying up liquidity? Or do you wait for the hoards trying to buy the dip?
I know which I’d do.

There is no hedge in periods of distress. So you have to make pace with yourself and accept some losses. Good strategy is to cut those already showing a profit, keep the rest a bit longer but definitely pot some stop losses in place.(easier to manage in your head)
It is difficult to part with a loosing portfolio even if you are aware there are difficult times. It is deeply embedded in our psychology.
The centre idea is: meditate a bit about the situation, how likely it is to go either way and how to contain it if it does.
We could easily see an last push, in an attempt to confuse the market, could serve well for offloading, but it is not a certainty.
I wouldn’t touch any stock in the foreseeable future.
“Fooled by randomness” by Nassim Taleb could be a good read for this times.Comment

There will be no “establishment” to defend.
And run away with people’s wages.
Or as it happened in ‘08 start calling people around with “how low can you go” rhetoric to make a good profit for themselves.
