Mike Newton, portfolio manager and director at The Newton Group, ScotiaMcLeod FOCUS: North American Large Caps & ETFs Market outlook: Troubling as the current headlines may appear, I think the risk of contagion is lower than previous debt crises and I see current market malaise as an opportunity to initiate or add to excellent individual companies and sectors. Even though I am advocating staying invested, if the macro situation does worsen and starts to derail the markets, I am afraid most investors will be unprepared. So ask yourself: do I have a plan in place to deal with potential losses beyond a normal correction if they occur? That should be the number one question right now. At The Newton Group we utilize stop loss programs to mitigate risk.
