February 2016 $SPX 1811 to September 2018 $SPX 2941 = 1130 points September 2018 $SPX 2941 to December 2018 $SPX 2347 ... HWB for 2/16 to 9/18 was 2376, 30 point overshoot That ratchet has done already popped ... I wan't here then, so let me ask: Was B1 shorting it the whole way down, or was he long? All I know is this - I trade bears, and I trade bulls. But I'm not going to be stupid enough to trade today's bull as though we were still living yesterday's bear. What happened in September is unimportant except for ESM 2947. Bear markets do not hibernate. They die. You'll not see another bear 'til the next one is born. In the mean time, the money is made being a bull rider, not a bear hunter.
Not unlike yourself, I didn't follow the great one until a few months ago. I had no idea what I was missing. Legend has it he was trumpeting the great bull market starting in about October of 2018...
I hate to say this... but I have to give credit where credit is due unfortunately. One of the best calls in aggregate I have seen since I've been around here, other than my own of course... was by Desteriero. He called the market top at the end of September. I didn't see that one coming and he does deserve credit. Maybe he can buy some f'ing manners now with his 5MM IRA account. That ain't gonna happen.
You're forgetting that the market topped in jan 2018 also. I was here on this thread and B1 was long, taking 50pt stop hits literally every other day trying to pick the bottom, no joke. That's why his claim of being up 400pts is absurd. He's an ego with a trading account, nothing more.
Arthur Andersen is on the phone... 2019 tally just dropped to 319.25. They sound a bit concerned. (?)
Friday's bar was an interesting doji..see what happens tonight/tomorrow..ie. if some sort of climax occurs overnight - watch out..
