January 17, 2020So do you suggest a 5-10% trailing stop on long equity positions now? I really don't want my 80 year old dad's portfolio to vanish with what it is at now.

January 30, 2020One should always have a risk management (exit) plan when there is non-trivial money in the market. And "buy and hold" is a strategy for being underwater for many, many years at a time. At 80, while I am not a financial planner, I would suggest very conservative management in general. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and once a 89% "correction" happen. I don't think a >20% is coming for quite awhile...but that's not material to a proper risk management plan. Best of luck.
