Quote from day7793:
Put my cash in T-bills and money market accounts earning a safe 5 % a year. No need to take a pounding and volatility and absorb losses and trying hard to pull up. This is an exercise in stupidity.
I maintain a healthy 6-9 % return in my portfolio per month, its obliterated by this 300 point down and 300 point up days in the market. The market is too volatile, Vix at 23.7 is still very high for predictable and consistent outcomes.
