Quick Tip: Why Day Trade?
If you have a long-only portfolio, IRA, and/or 401-K you’re probably happy with your 2024 performance so far. You’re also likely concerned about how much higher the market will go!
The adage “Sell in May and go away” doesn’t work out every year, but there is the possibility. Couple the time of year with multiple wars, Chinese trade tension, stubborn inflation, high interest rates, etc., and you’re thinking about protecting your gains.
You could buy index put options as insurance. That’s an expense, though. Timing of expiration is tricky as well.
You might be better off day-trading the potential drop using futures contracts that have superb leverage and other benefits. Read the white paper here.
And yes, if you want to keep the gains in your retirement account, you can day trade futures long and short in an IRA.
Most investors think diversification is limited to portfolio selection. Strategy diversification and a different time horizon are excellent alternatives.
