    Force Index showed bulls are back with massive up volume at Fridays close, bulls hit better than 200sma target Monday.

    • I tend to agree with your numbers.
    • But when it comes to @PoopyDeek I would up the skill/inspiration/hard work level to 25% from 10%.
    • @PoopyDeek knows is sh!t.

    OP, would you remain long on a re-election victory? Your take from here until election time? The guy's not shy about propping the market, but question the amount of options left at his disposal to do so.

    90% luck? Lol, is this because you don’t have or can’t explain the skills it takes to make money and keep it over time trading?

    I don't think people realize the "power of mathematics" or good old experience through grinding. I imagine much like chess or poker, having never taken either game up myself.

    For you it is skill but for us amateur retails we love to think it is our skills but it is mostly luck.

    Think about this:

    What is the probability of us born and raised in the US instead of elsewhere in the world? The odds are very low. Should be 99% luck instead of 90% luck.

    What is the probability of us making money trading during the depression or great recession instead of during this bull market? 10%?
