And that is what I was doing. I felt like a god. But Q4 2018 humbled me pretty quickly, which is why my progress is now at a standstill. Feeling one's oats in 2017 when getting into the full swing of things was awesome. Then came Powell in Feb 2018, then came the Fed in general in Q4 of that year.
As tempting as it is, it is very very difficult to have conviction in the long market now, with the possible headwinds we now face in the election year.
Remember, Rick never posts a losing day in the land of the perfect. He just takes his millions and longs with caution thrown to the wind. Hell, I could do that also if I had that kind of dosh, and careful position sizing. *shrugs*
