Since I wrote about Nimble Short Term Investing a few months ago, I have been talking with a number of people about the topic of exit strategies. Many market participants ask themselves how they can capture and lock in profits, and protect their capital from downside risk, with the best approach to an exit strategy. This became even more front of mind when the market index fell 11 percent in the first three weeks of August (see daily chart of XAO index at right - click on it for a larger version).

Unfortunately, there are many possible ways to determine the best time to exit a position, and none of them are wrong. I wrote about these in the eBook Articles some time ago, and in earlier editions of this eNews. But with the market proving challenging for the preservation of capital, it is opportune to re-visit this topic.

In addition to this, I was invited to be guest speaker at the November meeting of the Newcastle ATAA chapter, with the opportunity to deliver two presentations. So I offered to update my earlier materials on Exit Strategies and talk about this to the group, and to promote some discussion amongst the local members so they can help each other with their own experiences. I wanted to include that updated material in this edition of the eNews, so I needed to hold it over a little longer than usual (hence this edition is a little late).

So, in this edition of the eNews there are updated eBook Articles, and the revised slide presentation. See all the details in This Month's Focus section below.
