(11min)

Summary

  • The breakout of war in the Middle East again is a reminder that risk management matters.
  • A recent characterization of risk management from Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan prompted this review of current conditions through a risk manager's lens.
  • This article assesses the S&P 500 in multiple time frames.
  • I also re-introduce ROAR, my own creation, which to me is especially helpful in times of war, literal or just internally in the markets themselves. We have both now.

Ladies and gentlemen, pay no attention to the hype surrounding us. The stock market is not well, and we just had an "event" Friday that could tip it back toward where it just came from.

But guess what? None of that

If you agree with most of these below, there's a good chance it can.

  1. When my portfolio loses 10%, I'm upset

  3. I want to learn how to better manage risk
  4. I prefer to understand a process than just receive "talking points"
  5. I want to capitalize on changing markets
  6. Most investing services are more hype than help
  7. I'm less confident in bear markets than in bull markets
  8. I know there's a lot more to learn
