Which markets do you usually trade? What do you think about algo trading?

Also, it does kind of suck that this is the best way. The only reason I do stuff with trading is because I want to beat the market lol

Why do you want to beat the market?

Hello They,

I have been investing in S&P 500 index since I graduate college faithfully, without blinking my eyes or lifting a finger or sweating or thinking and the results have been the easiest money I ever made in my life.

Ok so do you mean you buy SPY blindly and you never close the position?

Technically speaking, I wouldn't buy the market until it hits the first support line

Hi.. What do you mean by "buy it every two weeks?"

Buy the bubble and don't fear anything

Do you want to retire from work one day? If yes, go to the forum above and ask how I can start planning to retire from work one day.

I use 10% of my job pay check to buy this fund every month. I am not recommending you do this. Go to bogleheads and ask what to do

Good grief. So the past 11 years was not a sign you should get back in long, simply because it did not hit your second support line? That is nuts.

Jan 2016 was not a sign? You sound like me, in a way. We have to disbelieve what we believe.
