Question to the Traders:
What percentage returns have you seen among traders year in and year out consistently?
This is an important fact to ascertain, and I haven't gotten it yet. I get a lot of big fish tales, hems and haws, and maybes.
One old-timer said that if a guy really focused, he would probably hit in the 60 to 80 percent range. But, this guy didn't focus, and he really didn't know anyone who did, although he was sure there were some.
I have an important reason for asking but first let's get some numbers out there. I've seen outliers hitting 1000 percent in good years, but then they disappear and I hear no more. My method right now is on track to hit 300 percent per year, but it remains to be seen whether these numbers will be sustained.
Wanting a broader range of actual numbers--not projected numbers--over a period of years (that's what really counts).
Thanks!
Ted
PS
You can see why I need lots of writers. I have lots of questions, and I'm hoping to find specialists to provide solid information in the various areas. I will be integrating this information in a meaningful and practical way. Stay tuned. It's going to take a month or so to catch up with myself and attract all the right people.
Strip price to the barest knowable data that says buy, hold or sell. This is the new meme.
