    Shouldn't be too long a wait, new strains are coming out more frequently now.
    I'm sure Santa will bring one.

    That's it! I missed the meltdown of 2008. Stocks were dirt cheap, but I was dirt broke!

    I made more money buying and holding during COVID than I did trading futures. It's crazy. I caught stocks that were trading for a little more than a dollar, and now they are trading in the $10 - $12 range.

    After the March 2020 sell off, in June 2020, I caught Luckin Coffee at $1.44 on the last day before its scheduled delisting. They got delisted due to refusal to show their books after an accounting scandal. Now, the stock is trading in the $7.00 range. It will probably go higher once they return to NASDAQ.

    In about another year, I will be well capitalized to add futures trading to my financial management.

    Good work/hard to do real well without risk.
    Almost all my entries/exits are intraday;
    i never limit myself to intraday only or one income. I dont consider any kind of trading/investing, gambling.
    More good news + bad news/any American is already rich compared to most nations.
