Quote from Red_Ink_inc:
The most ridiculous ill informed statement ever on this site. 90% of the traders I know had record or near record month's in January.
The cash was being handed out left right and center. If you held onto your longs like a deer in the headlights listening to the crap they feed you (the economy is strong, inflation is low, 'we have a strong dollar policy') waiting for the Fed to come save you, you got slaughtered and rightly so.
The market rewards action, not inaction.
Yeah sure people like you made out like bandits , cause you were shorting the hell out of people's pension plans, 401Ks, retirement accounts and savings. Good deed, if you could, you would go rob a 7-11 without remorse.
