In the interest of disclosure we should note you have been calling for a correction every month since April 2020. And that you made numerous really, really bad calls on shorting Oil this year ( you started a thread to buy SCO twice within a day of a massive rally in WTI ). I was quite confidant...

I meant the overall market; plenty of corrections at various points in 2021 already in certain sectors and yes many small caps.

How many 25-30% crashes have we had since 2009 ? Dial it back to 10-15% corrections that are more common. How many 10-15% corrections have we had since 2009, and on average how much time between each one ? My point is the chances of 25-30% crash less then two years after the last one is very...

Arbitrary is in reference to OP saying it didn't "feel right" to be long markets before the variant news was even a thing. I never said it was a bad move but I do question some of the logic behind it.

Canada ended QE months ago, well ahead of forecast. Economy is fine. The chances of a recession coming off a 5-6% year is practically zero.

Seems like a bad day today to be arbitrarily in cash. What I'd note is how traders often react to 2% down days ( like Friday ) versus how they react to 2% up days ( like today so far ).

All this anti-vaxxer nonsense got old a long time ago. Nobody cares about your feelings it's a pandemic stupid.

Short term govt manipulation which doesn't change the fundamentals moving forward. They basically want to drain their reserves which will have to be replaced. If they wanted more production they are doing the opposite of what they need to do. Congrats though on creating wild swings in Oil...

You're delusional. Might be why you are down 8-9% on the year on your posted trades.

As well, let's not forget he destroyed perfectly good supply chains with his tariffs and trade wars ( e.g. see lumber prices on his watch ) and ran up the federal deficit well before Covid. Truly a disaster of a President.

Too many Americans excuse this kind of criminal behavior which helps ensure it keeps on happening. You can't just kill people then claim it was all a tragic misunderstanding. There has to be a strong deterrent out there to persuade other dumb assholes and/or racists from doing this.

If our morning paper in Toronto had an extensive story about the suspect and a picture well there is no way any part of this story is hidden.

I suspect like with many day traders they don't want to know how their worst ideas are doing, Myself, I want to know so I can avoid doing it again or exasperating a bad trade. Even so, occasionally I do it anyways. If I perpetually struggle on a stock, I retire it from my buy/hold list and...

That would require acknowledging you are making mistakes and losing money. For example, what use is it telling everyone you are buying SCO again when your track record buying SCO is god awful. In fact, it was a great call to fade on here most of this year. Like most traders though, if we are not...

When your long positions are speculative plays on mostly money losing businesses it's still basically a bear strategy. Pot stocks got killed the other day ( eg TLRY down 11% ) and Ken wanted to talk about $ he made on a 1% move in UVXY ( 3% with perfect timing ). Sorry, man, that just doesn't...

If you're goal is to promote your service, get a gambler's rush, or post about your winners on here then I guess this might work. It's a terrible strategy to make money.

Sure, it's fine to preserve capital. I do wonder if they have a real plan on when to re-enter markets. And if said plan is realistic. I've said it numerous times this year, 2021 feels a lot like 2019. Ignoring the 2020 black swan effect, it would not surprise me to see a moderate late rally into...

Earnings growth has been huge. It's amazing to me how many traders don't recognize this. If you don't like the indexes, buy stuff with great earnings, good balance sheets, and a lot of good company specific news ( eg raising dividends, buying back shares, paying off debt ). Sure, there is a...

A lot of new(ish) traders aren't used to a market where sectors and many stocks aren't highly correlated with each other. There is value out there and huge chunks of the market already corrected hard at various points this year ( eg small caps got hammered, energy took a huge hit in...

It's option expiry but Gold/Silver miner price action today is very disappointing given the amount of bad news out there this morning. Monday's normally pretty decent for Gold so I would hope to see better things then but jesus people pull away from these stocks really easily,
