how to hedge and make money too
Here’s an example of why you NEED to join the Fink Community.
The market is lower currently, driven by insert reason conjured up by mainstream media, this time because Apple released a paper denigrating LLMs.
But how can you still make money while also ensuring your volatility is managed?
Well, here you go…

Now, while the market turned lower, adding a name like McDonalds at this time would have given you 72bps yesterday and today, it’s opening higher by another 58bps.
The effect here is that while you take a bit of a hit on the overweight positions which tend to be growth/tech (since they’re the ones going up and to the right the most), you’re able to minimise drawdown a little better by being long a stock that experiences flows based on market conditions.
In the Academy, we have a growth model which suggests when this will turn and it teaches you then how to be nimble with it!
But every day at 9am UK time in the Community, we are pointing out aspects such as above which CAN and WILL provide you with the actionable answers you need.
You can consider the above a hedge, or vol smoothing, or whatever you like.
But the fact of the matter is if you’re not currently employing ideas like this in your trading then you need to.
