In today\u2019s episode, SteadyTrade podcast co-hosts Tim Bohen, Kim Ann Curtin, and Stephen Johnson will show you how to stay sane and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.steadytrade.com\/trading-steady\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">steady<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the face of an ever-shifting market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Market Rotation: What\u2019s Happening Now?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past few months, the stock market has been crazy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, there was a market crash during the early days of the pandemic. Then stocks started spiking like crazy. Suddenly, it seemed like everyone was opening a Robinhood account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An influx of new traders created <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.steadytrade.com\/ep-164-the-wildest-100-days-in-stock-market-history\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the wildest 100 days in stock market history<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But are things starting to shift again?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim, Kim, and Stephen discuss the recent changes in the stock market surrounding and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.steadytrade.com\/ep-173-election-aftermath\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">following the recent election<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Could this be what Tim calls the \u201cregain of a multi-generational bull market?\u201d Should all short sellers be put out to pasture?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recalling the \u2018Dark Days\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the world had fewer smartphones and social media channels, the stock market was a very different place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the episode, Tim talks about the \u2018dark days\u2019 of the stock market \u2014 a time when it was actually very good to be on the short side of things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As he puts it, the pattern was predictable: a big gainer would go sideways, then fail. It was practically like clockwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until it wasn\u2019t. Things are very different now &#8230; so what changed?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim and Stephen discuss cycles of going long versus going short \u2014 it all depends on the market conditions, and what types of stocks you\u2019re trading.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About Those New Traders\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you been trading for a few years? If so, you\u2019ve probably noticed an unusual surge in new traders in 2020. Why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, to name a few reasons&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boredom<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remote work\/school<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employment changes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes in professional sports<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh yeah, and stimulus checks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim notes that if he was in his 20s and he suddenly got a $1,200 check, he\u2019d probably use it to start trading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trading mentors and teachers are having a moment \u2014 it seems like there are YouTube and social media ads everywhere for some options trading program, or a hot new crypto hack\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But are these good developments?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Problem Is\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem with all of the new traders is that they don\u2019t necessarily know what they\u2019re doing. Too few understand market rotation or the patterns in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But as Tim and Stephen offer, this could create opportunities for traders who do take the time to learn the mechanics of the market and key trading patterns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you want to be one of the smart traders who can benefit from a shifting market, what can you do?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn to Adapt<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the market\u2019s changing fast, what\u2019s a trader to do?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim says, \u201cHashtag #UnpopularAnswerIncoming \u2026 the best way is to be here every single day.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take notes. Take screenshots. Study the market. Watch stocks every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, you don\u2019t need to trade every day \u2014 but you do need to put the work in every single day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tim, Kim, and Stephen discuss techniques for improving your ability to adapt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll learn a variety of different tools and techniques for beefing up your trading constitution \u2014 from waking up early to making a gratitude list to embracing technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But ultimately, Stephen says, it boils down to the fire in your belly.<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cIf you don\u2019t have the passion and you don\u2019t love the game then ultimately the fire will die.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are You Feeling the Market Rotation?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have questions about market rotation?
