AAL up 17% since your post. Another one of your epic calls. LOL.
Also totally wrong with air travel demand when you said there would be a huge drop and I disagreed. Total traffic in August 2023 (measured in revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) rose 28.4% compared to August 2022. Globally, traffic is now at 95.7% of pre-COVID levels. https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/20...2023-10-04-01/
Your other quotes: "I should just concentrate on short selling, I seem to do much better here than trying to pick stocks to the long side."
"I will start shorting larger numbers of shares. There's plenty of money to be made - the market isn't jumping up any time soon."

it just goes on and on
the most recent best one was that one week the market went down like 2% , which is totally part of investing, and he was like "the market is waking up to the "student loan crisis" "

My retirement fund, which was up about 9% just a few weeks ago, is now over 12% for the year, and I'm headed towards retiring early. No worries here and no big deal if the market jumped up. Just traded ERX at a number of purchase points, saw it go down $1000 in 3 weeks, and then come roaring back, sold it earlier this week for $140 gain. Life's good! If you guys think I care about botching a call..... well I don't.

Just stop making the calls and predictions. It’s silly and tiresome - like a gambler that wants to run around making bets with everyone.

you say your retirement fund is up 12%
to us that means nothing "
it can represent only half of assets which mean you are up way less…
it also means that if that retirement account should have been up 25% and it isn’t then you lack the gains to cushion future down years .
it is the average of the two that make our long term return what it is.
not capture the full upside and get hit with a downside and you lack cushion for a decent average
so in any case it matters that you got half of what was given in an s&p or total market fund with zero interactions needed.
all you needed to do is stop playing around , pick an appropriate allocation and that money would’ve been in your account .
you are not adding anything of value with your constant attempts to think you know better.
