Controlling risk is the most important rule in investing. Should the current correction continue, keeping stops tight and restricting buys to only the best risk/reward entries is wise. But should QE create a floor in the current correction with a resumption of the uptrend, new buy opportunities will emerge. Stay alert and flexible.
