Until it goes down for a month, like it did in September, and you scamper off into your safe space where you tell nobody about how much money you lost. We are not impressed, because you have no balls.
In just the past few weeks, seems to me rickyshaw has banked what some people make in yearly salary/wage. He hasn't put those gains to work that I have seen. He also has not given them back. Carry On!
According to himself - he's also taken some rather large losses. During covid and also in the recent correction in September. For all we know he might be in drawdown for the year even with those (so far) unrealized gains. I think Rickshaw is a funny character, but it's a bit ridiculous to boast about how easy it is to make money as a long only trader and then disappear completely as soon as a red candle prints.
I once saw Jimmy Buffet get thrown out of a heat game for heckling the ref. It was a classic and they put him on the jumbotron.
I've never seen a "blow off top" with these small grinding gains. In other words, it doesn't feel like that at all. I'm playing some massive earnings beats what do you think the stocks should do ?
The Naz has been up before earnings, after earnings and pretty much went vertical after the FED. I'm just saying what it feels like to me. Not that'd I short it. re-read my post towards the end part that is. Congrats on you making money, I'm happy for you. I've seen your posts and I know you've been on the long side of things congrats.
