How did the US market take it?



Are we going back to re-test 8,000?

At this point, I don't have any answers. Sitting on cash and watch will be the best thing to do now.

i once read a term you used for controlling money to trade in stock market and preserving the rest for recouping the loss, if any.
What's the term.? Size positioning.? When was the article dated.?
I used it to illustrate capital preservation to a fren and wanted to use the proper term..
