How to Profit under Market Volatility

If the market is running in volatility, there are always moneymaking opportunities available - and if you use this remarkably simple and effective method, it's much easier and quicker to find them when needed...

Scan the markets.

Whenever the market soars or crumbles, always make a point of checking out the extensive list of stocks you have on your watch-list to see if you can take advantage of the move.

Many times, market volatility actually presents a great opportunity to enter positions at better prices. Keeping a watch-list is a simple, yet remarkably effective thing you can do. It keeps you focused, disciplined, and ready to take action faster than if you start from scratch.

The tools that will help you to be a better investor

Keeping a shortlist of potential companies to choose from still means you need to do your due diligence and revisit your reasons for buying. But if you can have candidates ready, you'll have a good head-start on the crowd. And when the market and individual stories change, you can add and delete from your list.

A Watched List Ensures No Opportunities Are Missed

Regardless of whether you go low-tech or high-tech, a watch-list is an incredibly useful tool. Not only will it help ensure you don't miss an opportunity in a stock that you're keeping close tabs on, it will help you evaluate your own strengths and weaknesses as an investor.

Be sure to review your list and your reasoning at least once a quarter (even the stocks you're no longer interested in). No doubt you'll have a few, "What the heck was I thinking?" moments as you'll have the benefit from a good hand-sight. But it's a good lesson that will only make you a better investor going forward.

I think this can help us to profit when the market is suffering from high volatility
