Why investors should periodically take profits....

Profits are not easy to come by and if you have been investing for some time you understand why this is true. It is important to periodically take profits off the table. The stock market tends to be turbulent at times and the market does go down. This can be quite painful, if you are not positioned correctly. During these times it is best to get defensive and protect what you have gained.  

When our models indicate the stock market may experience some possible downward pressure we alert bloggers/followers to consider taking some profits. This does not mean we believe the stock market is BEARISH, when the overall market posture changes we will alert investors that the stock market direction has changed.  We believe this is a sound money management strategy for all profitable investors.
