As with all things in life..some are easier than others..so..why pick the hard ones instead of the easy ones.. common sense really!
After today..you can see why everyone thinks this market will never go down..but they thought that in the past also..many times!
It really should not matter to you where the market goes..that of course is the easy way..but if you want to sit it out with the hope of making lots of money..then you really have chosen the hard way..which as mentioned does not appear hard at the moment..but..unless you have a detailed plan to preserve your capital when everyone starts selling..you will really see then how little you really know about effective speculation!!
Generally speaking of course
Btw..there is a very simple technique that allows you to see what the direction is..and when it has a good chance of changing..but..like The Pianist..it just so happens to be right under your nose..which makes it so hard for so many to see!
What can help greatly is to keep telling yourself how silly you really are..it works..but you have to really believe it before it can really work for you..I know from first hand experience
