Judging by what you said earlier: "I missed the March rally" you seem asleep at the wheel. There were many mid term and short term opportunities to ride the bull movement. If you couldnt find not even one, you have alot to learn about the markets(fundamentally and technically). I mean shit!!, I cant even count the number of easy uptrend freebies there were in the ES futures market, and bank stocks. What the hell were you doing during all of it?...hibernating???:eek:
i was happily shorting index futures then buying index futures during the march rally. What i meant to say when i missed out was that I did not buy any stocks since it was my first time looking at the market my broker was a 100% chartist, and kept telling me that the fundementals were so bad that it was inadvisable to hold stocks. Hence I only traded futures. I earned from that only. Now looking back, I see that it was obvious to an experienced investor/ trader, that the market was oversold,and stocks near 10 year lows.
