I have warned of the unwinding of Yen carry-trades having a profound impact on the market over the past year. I am not here to brag or rub it in at those who have lost money in the stock market.

These are the following steps to prepare myself for any opportunit

Gains could be seen across the board, it goes a long way in recovering the lost ground over the past 3 years. The market was stronger till profit-taking took over the agenda of the market towards the end of the month. The Nasdaq is undergoing some heavy corrections given its fast ascension in the first 6 months of the year. There were clear rotations
