How to Profit From Market Bubbles: 5 Investment Tips
Share markets move in cycles and lately we’ve been moving from one bubble to another. Crypto surged, then corrected. Gold and silver exploded, then cooled. Lithium and uranium are climbing. AI is still running, but now investors are demanding real returns.
When interest rates stay higher for longer valuations come under pressure and weak hands get shaken out. But here’s the key: you don’t just survive bubbles, you profit from them.
At Under the Radar Report, we use a disciplined framework to turn volatility into opportunity. Here are the five essential steps to profit from market bubbles.

1. Rebalance Regularly (Finance Friday)
The biggest mistake investors make is letting winners run unchecked. We rebalance our portfolio regularly — selling strength and rotating into value. Right now, with increased volatility, we are rebalancing monthly. Try implementing your own Finance Friday:
- Review your portfolio weekly
- Rebalance every 1–2 months
- Sell winners, reinvest into value
- Stay disciplined
Rebalancing protects gains and prepares you for the next opportunity.
2. Take Profits on Big Winners
We were early on gold, lithium and uranium and we’ve been taking profits. In January and February 2026 we:
-
Reduced gold exposure by 40%

-
Trimmed Evolution Mining by 30%

-
Increased cash from 15% → 23%
This doesn’t mean abandoning winners, it means locking in gains and managing risk. Smart investors don’t fall in love with stocks. They harvest profits and redeploy capital in another value small cap stock.
3. Stay Ahead With Sector Analysis
ASX commodities are powerful but they are not set-and-forget. At Under the Radar Report we track:
- Lithium
- Uranium
- Copper
- Gold
- Energy and resources
Understanding the macro cycle helps you:
- Exit near peaks
- Enter before the next run
- Avoid getting caught in downturns
Investors who understand the big picture outperform those chasing headlines.
4. Always Invest in Quality
In volatile markets, quality wins. What defines quality for our investment team?
Strong customer base
Companies with diversified customers are more resilient. But a gold plated customer like the US Government has served ship builder for the US Navy, Austal $ASB well. It was on our Best Stocks to Buy consistently and has delivered big returns for members. We are now taking profits and trimming our portfolio position.

Balance sheet strength
The most important question: Will this company need to raise capital?
Avoid businesses forced to raise money just to survive. Capital raises should fund growth — not rescue.
This is why we prioritise balance sheet analysis above broker noise.
5. Look for Value in Best Buys
Great investing is about risk vs reward. Not every stock works but strong winners outweigh losers. Example: Appen delivered ~75% in six months after we continued backing it through early weakness.

That’s the power of:
- Discipline Research
-
Risk management
-
Patience
The Bottom Line
Markets will always move from bubble to bubble. Volatility is not the enemy, it is the opportunity. Follow these five steps:
-
Rebalance regularly
-
Take profits
-
Stay informed on sectors
-
Focus on quality
-
Buy value with strong risk/reward
Do this consistently and you turn market chaos into long-term wealth.
