Back to the immediate task of trying to figure out if the 9 year bull market has topped out or if there is more to come. Barring anything further, it will be my guess that the news since Friday's close will result in a massive stock market rally starting Sunday night. Since there was no further turbulence, I only made one attempt to short last week. If we get the rally I expect, I will be back at it in a few weeks with a fully funded account.Higgenbotham wrote:Still bootstrapping. I was slowed down quite a bit when I dropped off to sleep in the middle of a trade. You might have an edge in the market but it's irrelevant if you can't stay awake. When I have big positions on, I repeat the mantra "Stay Awake, Stay Alive."
The obvious comment somebody might make is if I added over 10% to the account why not put a lot of money in. It doesn't seem to work that way.
Also, the most probable outcome is that after considerable struggle I don't get this off the ground.
I'm going to end the day and the week here and wait for some more turbulence to develop before making another move.
