Trading in tough times


Let's pause for a while and think about the events happening right now. The only words you hear these days are bankruptcy, take over, rescue package, jobless claims, and so on. Lehman goes bust, Washington Mutual taken over by J P Morgan, AIG almost going bust if not rescued, Merril Lynch gone, Investment Bankers become house cats.

What can a trader do at such times? Well, the answer is definitely not in black or white. Never keep an open position without a stop loss. Do not expose yourself to a huge loss. At the same time, volatile times are best for making profits once you set a good stop loss order. Make money but at the same time, play safe. It is definitely possible.
