No matter how long bear market lasts?

You are looking at recent past history. Look further back.

I have no idea how long it will last. I just know the possibility exists that it may last a lot longer than most think it will.

There's usually something moving in bear markets that presents oportunity to long only traders. (Energy right now).
The strategy put me in cash in both 2008 and 2020.
I agree we haven't had a long bear market in some time. Last time one showed up I was probably a buy and hope investor so I wouldn't have noticed.

Ok gotcha. A secular bull market for oils and whatnot while overall market is bear.

Otherwise how can one improve their skills if the ball gets taken away metaphorically.

Sorry but that's ridiculous.

Bear market could be around for years. Could be.

Too bad for her?

Interestingly, that’s what she said too.

I say to you what I said to her.

It’s not our role to control the timing. It’s our role to be prepared and to take action when the market dictates.

It could be years. So what? She has a healthy account when many people are out of the game already. The stock trading group she is a member of is replete with sad stories.

Everyone wants to get rich in a hurry. I’m not advocating getting rich slowly. I’m advocating learning in successful stages to ensure learning correctly. When you do that, the money part takes care of itself.

She's smart and IMO in need of a different mentor.

Such a strange aversion to going short - I'll never understand.

The beginner method in stocks I use is long only. I have my reasons. It’s not because I have an aversion to going short. LOL

If someone makes a request to learn from me and I accept, I teach without asking anything in return except that the learner follow my instructions. It’s that simple.

People are free to learn however they wish. That’s how it should be.

How about yourself?

Do you go short?
 
If old doctor Victor Niederhoffer were still shorting vol out of his hedge fund(s), I'd be curious how he would be doing right about now...

I guess I know the answer then. :)

You were the one who brought up the mentee.

Happy trading ... long.

You are like a disgruntled chihuahua nipping at my heels. It is very amusing. Keep it going.

Let me help by agitating you a little more.

Going short is for idiots!
