What did Jesse Livermore do? Patience and deep pockets help. I m in cash and average in for a small amount in the family trust. (I am no day trader or gambler) actually this is not appropriate question for day traders as bear markets have severe short covering rallies. Being a permabear can be loser if you are not a good market timer. (I am a market timer albeit mediocre in terms of managing the trades. I am good at timing but suck at managing my trades.
Both should be part of your strategy. There are times where buying a put option makes sense. If you want a set it and forget it type of investment, buy inverse ETFs like SQQQ, SPXS, TZA. If you ride the long term trends, your chances of making monies is that much better. Ignore the ET trolls who say technical analysis and trends are useless. Block those fools permanently. They know squat and are all perpetual losers.
Is this supposed to be a simple or trick question? Just short the stocks, index futures, index etf....
Just and genuinely to understand, as far as i know the inverse ETF are reset every day and this is not good I guess to maintain them more days, so may be better a put or going short(for few days, weeks, month) with some calculated micro emini with a far expiration date. Or do i miss something or you mean in a day trading framework? Thanks!
Thread title What's the best way to make money in a bear market? What's the best way to make money in THIS bear market? Sell the wife & kids, tell the grand kids to go f**k themselves, sell the house, invesment props, cars, stamp collections, coin collections. Your wife had you relegated to the basement anyways and you stillhad to pay for college and her perfumes and jewelry and whtnot and got no p***y. Go massively SHORT for ALL of it except for f**kyou money for 2 years.Then pack a small suitcase and backpack and make sure you include high quality cologne for your balls and then bugger off to the relatively isolated beach of your choice anywhere in the world & live like a Lord. don't even bother to look at the markets more than once a week for 20 seconds. STAY away from ET. Why? Because THEY will all be LONG. SHORT SHORT SHORT like a mudderf%^$$@$ is the way to BE
