%% THATS why funds + other$ with good sense scale out/plan. I dont believe in luck. ONLY way to avoid selling @ bottom is scale in out. IS OCT a bear killer this time/ should know by this fri ?? +2nd FRI\ +3rd FRI/ +last OCT Thur....... FRI.\ Me i consider if they pay me/pay me dividends to wait. Like IBD founder never buy a stock[or ETFs, for me] just for a dividend. I cut a loss on SPYD+ took profits on DVY, so its not a gamble or luck. May never buy DVY again =Blackrock; its fun when super selective
If you obey the message of the 50 weekly sma, your drawdown is usually erased at the expense of your pride. Your anger, on the other hand, must be managed by you alone. Trading is not for intemperate fools (I'm not directing this at you, more toward myself because I know how much of a muppet I truly am)
It was brilliant when Autozone started offering free computer scans to consumers. That scan is often times $100 or more at a dealer or private garage. Then, Autozone can sell the consumer the part or sensor, as well as tools and specialty tools needed to replace it after showing the consumer how to find, remove, and replace it. Brilliant business strategy, imo. Automobile repair shops are second only to plumbers in the pillaging and plundering of the consumer wallet.
