Concerns over ETFs and Rising Market

Paul Rickard

Hi Paul, I’m considering investing in some domestic and OS ETFs shortly. My concern is we are in a rising market currently.

Any suggestions?

Mayne Pharma

Paul Rickard

As a first time buyer of shares, I bought into this Mayne Pharma when the shares were 73c.

Not sure whether I should to cut my losses or just hold on for the ride?  It’s been a bit of a learning curve but at least I know now about setting a stop loss when I buy anything else!
