It is because you never believed in your bear thesis in the first place. You even tried to long today, in what you identified as a CLEAR wave 3 beginning of the hardest bear market in history.
There is probably, a handful of competent traders able to take monies out of the stockmarket on ET. I agree there are a lot of loser ET trolls who are lurking or come out of the woodwork only to instigate. That is why I have a long block list. Most of the ET trolls have lost most of their monies by now. How do I know? Just look at their posts. They whine and cry about how the stockmarket is unfair instead, of trying to fix what is wrong with their trading methods? Most trade without an edge but, trade just the same. You know how that is going to turn out.
There are certain types of folks whom proclaim so much about things that are inherently unknown or unknowable, yet attempt to state opinions as matters of fact. In this case the E in ET stands for entertaining.
Agreed! Good call But a lot of newbies don't consider this a game. They look at the name ELITE and they take it seriously. Too seriously.
