congrats but you shouldn’t assume this years results signify your success as a trader. This was a once in a decade type market.
COVID pwned me (even though my short bias was correct until Fed intervention). Took rest of the year to get back up, stronger.
I matched S&P gains YTD, so horrible. Could've just bought the index and pay cap. gains instead of ordinary income gains. Not to mention I was mostly NQ pre-COVID so should've just left everything alone and trusted in the party of "fiscal responsibility" to come to the rescue.
Had a bunch of small wins and losses for a satisfactory gains, solid traction. Had one blowout winner. MCRB at 2.80 entry for triple allocation, and friends and family for about 20K shares with a 3.5 entry. One account was for their entire IRA with an 8K balance. Still have not told him though. Another friend let his 25 options expire (no rollover) before the jump. Technically not a win in 2020 since still holding some. Funny thing is it was the only fundamentals based trades made.
Crushing it? Ahhhh..Pat yourself on the back, have some drinks then delete this thread. It will haunt you.
Glad to hear it...keep it up. HA...well received. I don't think I will delete this as I am only good for a few posts every 20 years lol. But, I am not superstitious about this or my trading...I could certainly lose or the markets change on me. However, I am very confident at present that I have "locked in" on something really good. I will humbly move forward after years of blood, sweat, and tears. Best to you...
2020 was good, actually best year ever, when I chose to buy and hold instead of getting in and out of trades. The irony is that I lost my job in 2020 due to COVID-19. I used my severance to purchase more stock. As the economy returns to normal in 2021 and 2022, I expect my profits to rise even higher.
