The Get Irked Week in Review
Episode 9 – October 15-19, 2018In the markets:
• The market entered choppy and volatile trading this week following last week’s sell-off. • Canada’s legalization of recreational marijuana use lit up this week on Wednesday, October 17 as sales to the public began. Apparently, everyone was too high to notice that the consumer retail plays were collapsing as traders took profits following this key date.Getting Started – Tools & Resources:
• A surprisingly calm week led Get Irked to visit a number of topics including a strategy guide for how to handle choppy markets. • Get Irked released its full guide on Buying in Stages, how to do it, and, more importantly, why Buying in Stages is a strategy all long-term investors should follow to protect themselves against downside risk. • Get Irked also recommended picking up Humble Bundle’s “Win at the Stock Market” e-Book Bundle (still on sale if you want to grab yourself a library of books on the cheap).Trades in Play:
• With a lot of bouncing going on, Get Irked’s trades in play were surprisingly quiet after grabbing some big gains in the consumer pot stocks before Wednesday. There’s still plenty to talk about so stay tuned for our round-up later this weekend.
