Mark Minervini: Stops can be more reliable than emotions in trading decisions
Minervini on using stops over emotion

Independent trader and educator Mark Minervini stated that while his emotions might have led him to cover his short positions in SPY and DIA, his experience has taught him to trust his predetermined stop levels. Minervini also noted he remains short SPY and DIA, balanced by long positions including TEVA and IBB.

Minervini previously observed that many tech names and S&P 500 stocks have suffered substantial declines that are not always reflected in index movements, according to a recent note here. He has also emphasized the importance of stock selection in volatile markets, highlighting a bottom-up approach as essential for navigating current conditions here. These perspectives frame his current positioning across broad market ETFs and individual equities.
