Methods to Hedge, Protect and Maximize your Equity Investments

When investors are told that the "market" has out performed every other financial investment, it is usually a reference to the Dow aka Dow Jones Industrial Average. The reality is that the original Dow Jones Index was 100 stocks. Of the ORIGINAL 100 stocks, all but ONE is still in existence and that is GE. The rest either merged or likey went bankrupt. Yet, this is not reflected in the Dow because they constantly REPLACE under performing stocks. Unfortunately, most investors still believe into the "buy and hold" theory assuming that the "market" has outperformed everything else in time. Without an exit plan in place in the form of stop losses or profit taking, investors are at the mercy of the markets.
