R59, I have posted consistently on the dangers
of this market, and how negative I've been since 2018. I was almost entirely short in the second half of 2018, all of 2019, and till April 2020. I have taken a shot with some long positions along the way. Not that I've changed my mind. Just that I change my mind a lot about how long to stay in the pyramid with any long positions. However I will admit, I can't time the market, so therefore I'm playing with a small amount of my long term gains, and in and out.
Overall though in 2018, 2019, & 2020, I still managed on my stock portfolio to average around 50%/year ! To be exact, I made 13% in 2018, lost 7% in 2019, and made 146% in 2020. The huge numbers in 2020 was helped by my 100% short position in March, and the huge % gains on BGFV, PEIX, TOMZ, and SUP. Overall though, I have lost on SOXS.
