Coldspy, the only real and true version of de risking is selling and keeping the cash. Ultimately all we do is move from one risk to another, hoping we can better our cash elsewhere, which in a bearish market and AIM (for example), is terribly hard.
I’ve lost a lot in jumpinv around as by the sounds have you :-( so have leant to be patient now, believe in what I’m investing in, and have learnt it’s just as important to cut and take a loss, as it is to cut and take profit off the table. People forget it’s just as important to cut a loss as a profit.
For example I’ve taken aim good profit off the table and added here, that’s no de risking it’s taking a “punt”, moving from a less risk share in aaog to mtmy hoping mtmy out runs aaog next week. Hence I have only a small amount here as it stands and a short term play. You have to know your strategy and stick to it in this market at the moment and filter the noice to try and make you change that strategy
Good luck next week coldspy
