Stock market trading?

Over the past several weeks, growth investors have grown accustomed to the strong gains in their holdings while the major indices have moved slightly higher. This reflected big-cap technologies like Amazon stocks which are moving sideways or rising more slowly than the broad market, with the notable exception of Apple. On Monday, the stock market rally reversed the shift, as tech giants and other large corporations cemented strong gains in major indices as growth and speculative names slumped.

Big-cap tech companies have been out of favor for a few months, while the financial sector has had a tough 2020. Perhaps it is time for these slow-moving but strong market performers to make new headway, while the names of growth – especially Coronavirus or Coronavirus – friendly stocks – take a breather. But is this the beginning of a long-term turnover or just a pause in the growth stocks?

The short week after Christmas will make this hard to tell. Also, some investors may be taking profits now, and expect to sell after January 1 as investors can sell the big winners without paying out the capital gains for another year.

But if you start trying to explain why your stocks are down by guessing that investors are speculating that other investors will sell in the new year, you can speak for yourself from prudent portfolio management.

If the stock is faltering on the sell or profit-taking rules, do not guide, be decisive. If your portfolio takes a big hit, you will probably want to reduce holdings on a larger scale, while keeping full positions in a few of the underlying holdings.
