Play It Safe: A Defensive Trading Strategy for 2021

2020’s chaos is spilling over into 2021 and we’re playing a wait-and-see game with a lot of factors. A big concern is that we’ll finally see the market correction we’ve been talking about for so long, which means it’s important to have a defensive trading strategy.

Obviously, the 800-pound gorilla in the room is politics, but we’re going in a different direction today. With earnings season here, the name of the game is the same as it was in 2020 — volatility.

In addition to that volatility is the indication of a stock market pullback. Twitter Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) and Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB) are both down…

Be prepared.

Is that a safe place to store your wealth?

Now, after sitting down with trading experts Roger Scott, James West, Adam Sarhan and Jeff Yastine, we all seem to be bullish on cryptos.

But that doesn’t mean they’re a smart defensive trading strategy.
