I made some very aggressive trades over the last month in my personal brokerage account.
I really pushed the boundaries.I recently closed all of the positions, and I’m going to withdraw 100% of this account.
I decided to pay off my wife’s car and make a lump-sum payment toward my mortgage.
I’m going to take a mental break from the high-risk trading I was just doing, focus more on my health and family, and return to prioritizing slow, steady growth and capital preservation in my main retirement accounts until I feel ready to press limits again.
I need a vacation.
@marketmike@IssacStocks The Most important of trading is making money. Even someone would be right but can not make money. So, what is been right for?
Your P/L is the final answer. Period
This is exhausting.
Okay, your original post said that there have been zero bear markets FROM war.
Now, in this tweet at the bottom you say the Russia Ukraine war didn’t START the bear market (that was not what we were discussing, but I can layer onto this by brining up early 2007 Afghanistan tensions increasing again leading to Nato operations that were part of the war)
Two different things.
The original post I said was wrong. Why?
Because the Russia Ukraine war occurred before the bear market. That is a fact.
So, you cannot say with absolute certainty that there would have been no bear market (SPX/RSP) if the war didn’t occur.
So in conclusion the war most definitely was a contributing factor to volatility, and without a doubt you cannot say with absolute certainty that it wasn’t a contributing factor for driving us into bear market territory.
I don’t care about calling a stock market bottom. I don’t care about calling a stock market top. I care about protecting and growing my capital.
The 2022 trend is bearish. Vol remains trending. Fed is tightening.
Your bottom calls and ATH targets have been pointless all year.
Need some help. We received this pic as a gift. I don’t know what Asian language this is.

Thanks for the help!
@Elliotw10 It is dangerous to Short the Strongest with high Relative Strength. Instead, we Wait for pull-backs to the Green Zones or 50-day averages, and Buy again. Sail with the wind, not into it.
