2010 to today

spy $10000 to   $36000 

qqq  $10000 to  $64000 

 

I know if you did less, with less risk, and draw downs, it is just as good sometimes better.

 

Trading should control your risk, and I see some great traders here, who limit risk and make gains.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, all those who bought Apple, Tesla, or Amazon..10 years ago, by orders of  magnitude over buy and hold SPY.

WE all know about AMZN  $10000  2019 would be $235000 now.

I was asking the group here.

I have not done near as well as buy and hold myself, but less risk.

Blowoff top? Good opportunity to dump before CPI and retail sales Friday? The latter is my intention ,no desire to hold through all that. This could be a top forming. (JMHO)
