If You Have Over $100,000 in Stocks and No Exit Plan, This Is for You
The market is near all time highs.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is quieter.
This is historically the exact moment when investors give back years of gains.
Not because they were wrong about the market.
Because they never decided how to sell.
You don’t lose money in bull markets by being bearish.
You lose money by holding too long when risk quietly rises.
I’ve seen this cycle repeat more times than I can count.
Smart people. Solid portfolios. Strong conviction.
And no exit plan.
Where We Are Right Now
Let’s talk reality, not headlines.
Shiller CAPE, the 10 year inflation adjusted P E ratio, is sitting around 39 to 40.
The long term average is 16 to 17.
At the peak of the dot com bubble, it hit 44.
That means today’s market is trading at more than 2x its historical norm, a level reached only during the most extreme valuation periods in U.S. history.
Now look at the S and P 500.
Trailing P E is around 28.
Forward P E is around 23.
The long term normal trailing P E is 15 to 16.
Even assuming strong earnings growth, stocks are still priced roughly 75 to 95 percent above historical averages.
This does not mean a crash is coming tomorrow.
It means the margin for error is gone.
How Most Investors Actually Lose
Here is the script I hear every cycle.
“I’ll sell when it starts going down.”
Then it starts going down.
“I’ll wait for the bounce.”
That is how a 10 percent drawdown becomes 25 percent.
Then 40 percent.
Then a “long term hold” they never planned on owning.
This is why selling cannot be emotional.
It has to be mechanical.
Proof This Works: Real Exits, Real Money
Let me show you what that looks like in real life.
NVIDIA
On 10/30/2025 at 9:33 AM Eastern, a stop sell in NVIDIA triggered.
I sold 1,000 shares at $203.96.
Fast forward to 12/19/2025.
NVDA closed at $180.99.
That is $22.97 per share lower.
Roughly $22,970 protected on one position.
No prediction.
No panic.
Just a rule doing its job.
Bitcoin
Same discipline. Same framework.
Three BTC stop sells executed at:
$125,000
$123,500
$123,500
Bitcoin is now trading around $87,332.
That difference is the entire point.
The capital this framework protected is enough to buy a brand new 911.
Assuming I can find a 992.2 and my wife signs off.
The Lesson Is Not “Get Out of the Market”
The lesson is simpler than that.
You do not need to predict tops.
You need to cap downside.
Professionals do not rely on hope.
They rely on predefined exits.
That is the difference between investors who survive cycles and those who relive the same pain every decade.
Who This Is For
This is for you if:
• You have $100,000 or more invested
• You are concentrated in a few large positions
• You do not want one bad phase to erase years of progress
This is not for day traders or gamblers.
It is for investors who want rules, protection, and peace of mind.
What ILAM Does Differently
As ILAM evolves, it is becoming a place where you do not just read about risk management.
You trade with it.
For $149, we help you:
• Identify which positions actually need protection
• Set stop sells and trailing exits correctly
• Protect gains without guessing market tops
• Stay invested with clearly defined risk
This is not a guarantee.
Stop orders can execute below the stop price in fast markets and may trigger during volatility.
This is disciplined risk management, not magic.
Final Thought
If you have over $100,000 invested and no exit plan, you are relying on luck at the most expensive point in the market.
Put guardrails on your biggest positions.
Let the upside run.
Stop donating profits back when the cycle turns.
