World has been bearish since mid March. Those with the TD 50 system knew better. Lots more surprises are coming for permas.
Many are still blaming things on Russia, computers or the market is being manipulated. Manipulation happens every time one makes a trade, fool.
Cycles rule, fool.
Late last year I started to ignore the s/t whips and do everything with my EZ money plays and big pic outlooks. Working more with those that have 401Ks or are not concerned about the s/t wiggles. This has been relaxed and very rewarding for me and those that worked with me.
Never argue with stupid people. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
