I am a position trader.. I do not trade the 'Q's in and out but enjoy watching everyone who is succesfull at it. I follow Zeevs calls on market tops/bottoms/swings, and it has added quite a % to my profits. Hes wrong from time to time, and hopefully when he is- IM in disagreement with him and profiting from such.
I never sit on a losing position.. Most of my trades are based on a 1-10 day time frame, and I have an acceptable limit when I walk away with my tail between my legs.. As for shorting 'dumb' broad market indexes, I could safely say its a matter of opinion rather then fact when you call that 'not the best strategy'..
IM not here to defend Zeev, but it gets annoying when people point out that hes no good, or his calls suck etc etc. Several people over the years have tried to track his calls in an attempt to bash him and they usually abort the idea because there simply is more good calls then bad.. simple as that..
find me someone who is hitting 100% and Ill pay any amount of money to follw those calls... For now, Ill settle for the subscription to IHUB.. which I need to do tonight.. Keep forgetting to do that : (
