The list is for those managing funds. True - there are are some rare bird independent traders that have turned small accts into a fortune in about 10 years.

This is how some of the very best traders & investors have done. These are compounded returns - the non compounded rates are far lower. Ex. 6.8% per month = 81.6% non-compounded or 120% compounded.

The SEC has uncovered some of the popular Youtuber gurus as being losing traders yet they had been fleecing tens of millions from their subscribers. Some of the old timer market wizards figured if cons are making a fortune at it than maybe the real deal top traders should be doing some...

Minervini is the real deal. His accomplishments speak for themselves. He won the 2021 championship +334.8%. Oliver Krell won in 2020 +941%, he is a disciple of Minervini. Schwager wrote: “Minervini’s performance has been nothing short of astounding. Most traders and money managers would be...

Some traders like to use a lot of leverage to magnify smaller moves - some like taking less risk while aiming for larger moves which suites me better. The more volatile/liquid symbols you track the more opportunities you can find to get into big breakouts, but you also have more decisions, more...

My trade Thesis - not trying to brag, but since you asked: * figured Sept rally was gamma squeeze, put options 4X OI over the 2008 crash- extreme fear on last leg down. * seemed like the squeeze was nearing exhaustion based on recent options open interest, volume & P/C ratio. * sentiment...

Here is the Adobe CPI estimates, it's published in advance of the Fed report. https://news.adobe.com/news/news-details/2022/Adobe-Digital-Price-Index-Online-Inflation-Rises-in-August-to-0.4-/default.aspx

The factor for me was the mkt run up, to many people on one side of the boat & inflation has been beat only when interest rates are 1x-2x higher than CPI - The Fed is way behind the curve. Here is the clip of the Adobe CPI estimates, which fit what I perceived, estimate begins @ 6:30.

I caught the melt down. The estimates I looked at had CPI higher, projected the move down NQ -450+ pts based on what happened last month. Shorted in 2 accts, closed out the positions

Bears defending a very key ES/SPY level today which was right at the day high.

Jesse Livermore lived a volatile life. His estates & other assets he left his family is said to be worth $5M in 1940, in today's terms that is about $102M. At least he lived big & went out with a bang & not a whimper. Jesse Livermore’s daughter-in-law gave a fascinating interview in 1990 for...

This has been a nice rally, historically bear mkts have 10-16 rallies >10% that avg 22.8% preceding new lows. When your'e in a big rally like we are now new lows are hard to imagine. The mkt has a way of proving most wrong. I could care less what direction we go in, just as long as it does...

A proper bear mkt goes something like this: NVDA - High Oct 23 2007, -85.6% @ Nov 28 2008 low - 274 days to hit low.
