  1. I haven't voted as there is no option for me (up ~12% but I don't consider that an underperformance vs SPY because that is not an appropriate benchmark for my trading strategy.

    I thought people will look at it from the abstract point of view, cuz SnP was slightly bellow of 20%. So i made it as an option instead of ,, Under 20%" answer.

    Got burned a bit during the 1st wave of the pandemic, recovered a bit towards the end of the year but still not enough to cover the losses.

    If a random casino/wbets, came with an alternative poll :


    #1 : Im NINJA & my wife left me
    #2 : Lost my hause & car
    #3 : Lost my car
    #4 : Negative
    #5 : Underperformed comparing to SnP
    #6 : ... Etc ...


    Thus, it's aint that bad.

    +15% in usd. +12% in home currency. Max drawdown of 10%. S&P 500 is not a benchmark for me since I maintain a pretty low annualized volatility of 10% in my main strategy portfolio. I definitely wouldnt want my portfolio at >40% volatility which is what it is at 1 point during the crisis. And pretty much most of my net worth is in that.

    When we think that we are special, - but we are not. :)

    I think, next year, the 100% answer, should be the top.

    ,,All i can say, that i got at least the double, in a single year''

    That's good enough. Because, if one can double a $ for 32 yrs or so, it turns out into $4,294,967,296.00.
