Which stocks are you following? The big boys or the juniors?

I realize that, I'll have to look to see the the Canadian form asks. I just wonder how easy/difficult it is to track. Also if one has been using their bitcoin to buy breakfast at starbucks each morning how much paperwork is involved it declaring your gains and losses as the price fluctuates.

Money management!! If you are gambling, as Simp suggests, I don't know of any casino game, with the exception of surrender in blackjack, where you can take your money off the table when it looks like you have a losing proposition. Your edge is that you get to control what you do.

Believe it or not some people don't fell that way. So bitcoin can and probably will be a tax haven. Someone mentioned that Satoshi Nakamoto has billions worth of bitcoin (created out of nothing) yet no one knows who he is. How is any government going to tax that?

There are several merchants who accept Bitcoin to pay for purchases. Who keeps track of the capital gains that are incurred when you spend a bitcoin that you purchased at a lower price? If bitcoin is anonymous, who if anyone keeps track of any tax payable?

LOL; There I go. The question is how will they fare when the trend is down?

Depend what you are trading. I haven't had a stop hit for a while. Me; it's Canadian stocks.

That may be true if you have capital to invest. I'm not saying any of them will go to zero. I'm saying that you can make efficient use of your capital by going to cash when a stock starts to trend down. If you are an investor where do you get your cash to buy these bargains? I'd like to see...

Think how profitable they would be if they used didn't have losers in their portfolio. :)

Buyers are having to raise their bid to find a seller.

The clinic where I donate blood insist it be your own.

Regardless of what name you give it, it protects your capital. You can't win if you don't play and you can't play without capital.

That make me feel pretty good about mine. My biggest drawdown in 2021 was from Sept 1 to Oct 4 of just over 4%. Return YTD is 32%

Thanks for being so open. My concern is what happens to the strategy in a down market. That the price of all stocks will fall so that they will hit the exit well below the entry price. Any chance off seeing the whole portfolio?

Mark Twain said “history never repeats itself but it rhymes" Trading is a game of probabilities.

Why would a bot make one post? Probably read the first few answers and gave up. Anyone else reply to your offer?

TA doesn't work. In what way doesn't it work? How are you using it? It's like saying a hammer doesn't work. Fundamental analysis doesn't work for me. It gives me a bias that keeps me in losing trades and ties up my capital. Accountants use GAAP (legal fraud) to publish numbers that the...
