No one is suggesting you should be psychic or even try to buy the low tick or sell the high. But with such an obvious and powerful bull market why be short? No matter what the strategy you needed, at some point, to realize this bull market was for real.

I don't get the math. How does the hit rate indicate how many times in a row you could be wrong?

Why would anyone care what a talking head thinks? Flip a coin instead.

The more income &/or net worth you have the longer you have to learn the trade. More is better.

If you buy into the premise (and I don't) it is quite a simple market to trade: BUY IT AND HOLD IT!!!

Does anyone in this thread even know one person who has renounced their US citizenship to save on taxes? So few people actually do it it is barely worth a conversation.

Guys with a bit of money in the game -- say 100K + -- tend not to play it as fast and loose as those with a 10 K account. Their ideal client for portfolio margin is not a directional trader trading Tesla etc. with 10 or 20K trying to hit home runs. They prefer the $500,000 (or larger)account...
