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.

Where are the financial crisis dooms day proponents of late yr2018 now?)
