it didn't happen......investing and speculating are two different animals. This is a gambling forum-- the speculation gene is strong here
chop, aren't you the guy that said 'i'm glad i'm not in the market right now'?
you're not alone, lots of people think they are smarter than the market............they're not, and for some, time doesnt humble them . When the market corrects? they will proudly say 'see, i was right!!'...then the market moves forward..........................we all create stories in our minds, ...and ego wants us to cling to them......

I covered my shorts immediately yesterday morning...before it crushed up. You could feel it!
But then I foolishly put another tiny short on late yesterday afternoon. That could end in flames the way this is looking.
Lots of wall streeters secretly hate Killary...and they all piled in the market yesterday.
I know at my office of ~50, 5 of them probably voted for her...and they were either Hispanic or female or both.

I wasnt and not.
This was just a 3x leveraged 1 day S&P ETF short I lost money on yesterday
Probably pure luck but I have timed the market almost perfectly the last 3 times.
Yea pure luck in sure but I have all that documented in the sell sell sell thread all the way back to 2008.
Ive been mostly out for over a year.
waiting for the next bear
fair enough....again, speculating and investing are ENTIRELY different beasts.....the sell sell sell thread is a study OF IT......
i speculate with a X % of funds. Why? dont really know, fun ? ego?......let me share.......
i poured a shit load into the market last friday. Why? technicals didnt suggest it, and I'M A TECH NUTTER (not a fundamentalist) ...BUT i was lost to my mind - lol, my mind convinced me that Clinton would win and the drop in markets over the last 7-10 days would rebound when she won. This drop over the last 7 days was ME thinking that the Trump possibility of winning cuased the markets angst . What happens? markets roar on Monday...i feel like a genius! im great !!....markets green on Tuesday too!!....then Trump WINS!! ugh..overnight markets futures down 5 %....THEN GREEN Wed.......needless to say, short term shit is fodder for beliefs, ...........I LUCKED OUT. Nothing more.. i GROSSLY strayed from tech analysis, nothing is perfect ...........am grateful.....

Yea I don't call playing a short term leveraged ETF or having money in 1 or 2 individual stocks being in the market.
I always have something like that going on.
Im talking about having my entire portfolio in the market .
Thats something I've been out of for a year now
