AI Summary
Summary
The post asks whether users anticipate a market correction/crash in the next 6 months and if they are adjusting allocations (cash, bonds, trailing stops).
The author leans toward setting 15-20% trailing stops on existing positions, having been burned by stops before but still considering them.
Quality assessment: This is speculative noise with no fundamental analysis or specific company thesis. It reflects general market-timing anxiety, not value-investing research.

I guess a double barreled question.
First, do you anticipate a market correction (or a more significant bear market, or market crash) within the next 6 months.
Second, if you do are you doing anything to change your investment allocations, or anything else like setting stops or shifting to cash or bonds.
Have set trailing stops in the past and mostly gotten burned on them a bit but thinking of setting up 15-20% trailing stops on my investments in the current market.
Curious what other folks are anticipating and doing.
