HOW WE DEAL WITH THE FALL
Stocks don't go up forever. There are also periods when they fall by making small, large or even huge corrections to their prices.
Big falls also make the stocks that are considered top today, either because they are highly overvalued or because their fundamentals are going to get worse in the coming period or simply because some intend to gain from undervaluing speculation.
The stock No 2 was considered a blue-chip for 17 years. Now is doubtful if anyone has the same attitude after a 93% decline.
We don't care about the reason for the fall. We care not to be in the stock when it falls.
We never get emotionally attached to a stock. Good are all the stocks that go up and bad are all the ones that fall.
The fall begins when all the general public interested in the stock has bought it while it is at its highs and ends when it sells it while it is at its lows. At the beginning of the fall the volume is small because sells the smart money and at the end it is large because sells the general public.
Every big fall ends with panic, and every big rise begins when the general public either doesn't care about the stock or is afraid to buy it.
The golden rule to save your capital is to sell a stock when its price breaks downwards either its 30d SMA or its 200d SMA, with a 2-3 days time filter.
As long as a stock's price remains below its 30d SMA or its 200d SMA, you must not buy this stock.
It's better to buy a stock only when its price is over its 200w SMA too.
