Just having a guess,I think he might be referring to say if one
was trying to follow that 401K system, I've mentioned before that's
a long term trend thing and that it doesn't make sense to
contribute money to that when market is at highs, but on
strong dips like we had in Feb, like we had in 2015/2016, like we
had in Feb, and like we just had now down below the 200 MA that's
obviously a much lower risk area than when market was at highs.
That doesn't mean price won't go lower over time and the
system go red and by the time you get out price wont' be lower than
where you got in, but was far better than looking to follow that
401K when market was at highs in late Sept/early Octt
Please realize I'm not an investment adviser, so I'm just
talking in generalities and I'm not giving advice. I'm just
following up on comments I've said in the past, if anyone is even
following that system, far better to look at major dips than adding
at new highs.
Otherwise longer term my concern is we are so late in a bull
cycle, could a bear market be starting soon - could the 401K system
flip red say next year and go red at lower prices than now etc?
Who knows. But otherwise I was just having a guess as to why
you said that.
