Were you using the TradingView Online Web Version or Desktop version.? Most of the pros I know use the Desktop version have I have heard no complaints.
8% doesn't lose money but they make less than just holding an index. So they're trading everyday chasing their tails and making less than if they had just put the money in spy.
Yeah and that portfolio manager is not the only one. I mean if you go on morningstar, majority of the funds there have negative returns in at least one of the years and many have several consecutive negative returns and yet they still have millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars of asset under management. Honestly they are not doing any better than us amateurs. LOL
I bet they call tiny punters with $2000 accounts "day traders" and those guys don't give a flying fuck about passive index returns on such a small amount of capital. Are you an idiot? Let's say some punter has $5000 and pure trash skill on timing any market. They could day trade for 6 months or allocate to SPY. The first option they might actually learn something about markets. The second choice is a return of what exactly in dollar terms? Even if the index goes up 50% in a year, they only made twenty-five hundred bucks...
There are other indexes padwan. Learn what btw? Learn how to get nickel and dimed and blow up your account? lol
I am just surprised that they would keep giving her money to invest, for 15 years!! Maybe they are using that fund as tax saving strategy.
