Don't go chasing waterfalls in this stock market
Dr.Boyce D Watkins
Finance Professor and Entrepreneur at Boyce Watkins Enterprises
Hello, I hope you're doing well.?
The stock market took a big leap today after some odd behavior yesterday. Also, 2/3 of the companies that have reported earnings so far this week have exceeded expectations. This could imply that we've exxaggerated the odds of a pending recession and that the market could have reached a bottom.
But don't go chasing waterfalls. I personally plan to take the advice of the legendary group TLC (my cousin Tiana Watkins is actually a member) and "stick to the rivers and the lakes that I'm used to."
So, rather than loading up on equities and seeking to own all of the upside, I've been selling stock options on various securities that I believe to have potential, but could be due for a collapse. The truth is that the stock market probably isn't done shedding economic blood, so you might be wise to keep cash on the sidelines or hedge your investments. Always be ready for the worst.
