In the event this is the real deal, once again, go raise some cash and live to fight another day. It does not matter what your percentage losses are; they can always get worse. While, at the moment, I am not advocating any short positions; I am telling you to get the fucking cocaine out of your ears son and remember Lehman.
Go ahead and remember last year, when you were shitting the shower and pissing the closet. Your losses were so huge, so massive, part time work at Target seemed inevitable. Fast forward one year and here you are sucking grapes down your stupid neck, while feeding the local birds toxic doses of high grade fertilizer—rightfully so.
I am looking at my position sheets and it vexes me to no end that I did not lock in last weeks wins. Instead, I sit here, getting beat over the head with a homo-hammer, while the rest of you trade yourselves stupid.
Look, this is what I am planning:
If the weakness continues, for downside protection, I will initiate some downside index hedges. And, I will sell a little more, just to make myself feel all warm and cuddly at night. In addition, I am building a watchlist of stocks worthy of purchase, particularly on dips. Lastly, I will execute all of my plans methodically, rushing nothing—since I have a lifetime to bank coin.
