How does everything fit in? What does it mean to practice the adaptive market hypothesis? I have written about the framework, distilled further even and shared the entire process overview. Appreciate the interconnections between them and you will smell the difference between a financial product salesperson from a true financial steward from a mile away.
Before choosing an investment strategy to match the appropriate market condition, we do need to know what are the various strategies out there available. This is different from asset allocation by the way. Some deploy technical analysis, fundamental analysis or even blend them both. But here’s a list, not exhaustive by the way. Lots of different styles to fit different personalities as well. You can google each to find out more and see if it fits you and the market state.
Actually being in the financial advisory industry for close to 2 decades now, people do want mental freedom in their investments or trading. Dollar cost averaging has oft been touted particularly in the ILP (Investment Linked Plans) space.
People argue investing is different from trading, which I agree, but apart from time horizons there are plenty of similarities as well. They both involve forecasting, which will forever be a craft. Man can plan, but only God can deliver. There is a lot of attributional bias out there so beware. (When markets are great, they praise their asset allocation but when things sour, they blame the market, so which is it? That is an example of Attributional Bias. It is extremely subtle. Where are the financial crisis dooms day proponents of late yr2018 now?)

[…] There is massive, really massive support from central banks. US FED slashed rates to zero, ECB goes on bond buying. When COVID19 is over, this massive liquidity is going to drive markets up. So yes, a rebound is for sure. But not all rebounds are V-shaped. It can be U-shaped, or W-shaped. I am definitely not putting it at V-shaped. I am nonchalant to alternative investment views because I do see people buying on each dip as well as people continuing to short the market. The market is big enough to accommodate all kinds of investment views, not all will be correct that’s all. Want to choose a strategy, click here. […]
