I hope to live long enough to see another 2 years like 2008 and 2009. 2010 is back to business as usual, scrounging to make enough to pay the bills (and not tap into the nest egg), As someone posted earlier, more patience than ever is needed and the opportunities are less frequent. There's too much complacency and not enough fear out there. Hey Greece! Can you help us out again?
2009 was a fantastic year, ended the year at +360%. This year haven't been as good, the quality of signals haven't been as good so I have been skipping signals (not a good thing thou), but the account is up ~60%, I shouldn't really complain compared to how others are faring.
what is with all the people that can't adjust to changing markets????????? I recall all the traders that made tons of money in 1998-99 and lost it all back in 2000-01!! There was a fund that did 23% annually for nearly 20 years, can't recall the name, they did sector rotation.. so all they had to do was invert the strategy in 2000 but did they do that? NO!! They kept going until they had to shut it down.. maybe they had some rules and restrictions that kept them from doing the obvious or maybe they just couldn't adjust, I don't know about that... Volume and volatility being down a little should lead to some research on how to make $ in the current market.. adapt or die!!
