Do you flag straightliners from your survey data?

What is your criteria for removing?

Just curious what other folks are doing. I don’t straight up remove any, but if there are 7 series of grid/likert variables I may set a quality screen to remove those that straight lined at least 3

I’m on a project analyzing old survey data from a survey I didn’t run directly and seeing a number of quality issues.

I guess a double barreled question.

First, do you anticipate a market correction (or a more significant bear market, or market crash) within the next 6 months.

Second, if you do are you doing anything to change your investment allocations, or anything else like setting stops or shifting to cash or bonds.

Have set trailing stops in the past and mostly gotten burned on them a bit but thinking of setting up 15-20% trailing stops on my investments in the current market.

Curious what other folks are anticipating and doing.
