This weeks market action servers to prove that not everyone is on the “green shoots” wagon, and that there are investors a plenty that believe the past few months optimism based on the world economies having gone from very bad to less bad, is still a brighter view than actual reality. A correction to the recent trend in most markets which after rising for some time, saw declines in equity prices, bond yields and commodity prices. General declines in risk appetite seem to creep back into the trade. Some would argue that doubts are setting in over the strength of the recovery. This may be due to the recent new headwinds of rising oil prices and bond yields which could make it difficult for the recovery to continue into next year when all the stimulus fades and the inventory corrections are over.
If the decline in risky assets appetite has truly returned, it will in some way reinforce the impression that the economy has disappointed. However, it is our contention that it’s more market focus that has changed, rather than the data picture. On balance, the data flow has continued to show slight improvement and therefore remain slightly bullish.

I want you to become a better trader, and you know what? You absolutely can!
Commit these three rules to memory and to your trading:
#1: Manage the RISK ALWAYS!
#2: Keep the Losses Small
#3: Do #1 & #2 and the profits will take care of themselves.
That’s right, successful swing-trading is about managing the risk, and with Swing Trading the Stock Market podcast, I encourage you to email me (ryan@shareplanner.com) your questions, and there’s a good chance I’ll make a future podcast out of your stock market related question.
When should you increase your position size for swing trading in the stock market? Does the percentage that we dedicate to each of our swing trades change over the years or is it etched in stone? In this podcast episode, Ryan goes over his reason for increasing his position size in trading and what can lead a person to doing that for themselves.
