As we have seen ,things can happen very quick and a sound strategy is your friend. (Even in the NZX,where we appear sometimes to have a bit of an insulation factor that can create a lag.
I have a friend who,in uncertain times,shorts his shares by the same amount he is invested,and just goes for the Dividends.
In less uncertain times he shorts less,or not at all. (just a thought for those who invest for the Divis,which can be quickly eaten by a SP drop)
