My job is holding me back

  1. Well, I think its a much better idea to call Buffett a "Swing trader", than somebody who has successfully trades multiple decades of Stockmarket, profitably.
    The time frame is not that important.
    It' s the capgain/caploss that counts.
    And long term tax rate versus short term tax rate.
    Nothing else.
    Anybody who does not understand this should not be on this MB.

  2. Sure will see, the only thing I disagree with is different market scenarios. It's not really that complicated to get context. If you just have a single strategy and trying to run it over and over without context, sure market changes you get wrecked. But if you don't understand context, what's the point you won't last anyways.

    You need to look up the definition of exponential rather than just thinking you know what it means.
    All consistent compounding is exponential. Even compounding 1% every year is still exponential growth.

  5. Since 89. You come on here offering bogus advice and when experienced traders call you out, you get butt-hurt. It happens consistently with you and LF.

    The way the markets work that is not even a guarantee of anything. Old Victor Niderhoffer had some of the best returns in the business, year after year he would kill it. But he would blowup once every 10 years.

    Van Tharp used to say he would sometimes get traders telling him they never had a losing day for 18 months, until recently when they lost everything in just one day.

    Warren Buffett is NOT a Swing Trader. He'd take offence to that.

  8. What is the Kulmangi bandwagon?
    I don't think I am on it, and probably don't want to ever be on it

  10. I'll repeat, do you even trade at all? You can't even answer a simple question. You are a bad troll my man. Happy new year.
