Dipstick.
Virtually everyone on FR can add except you. Any plans for acquiring that skill?
Well, we'll see. Meantime, due at minimum to your economic incompetence, why not apply for a job with your HE-E-E-RO, Zerobama?

As a long-term conservative investor, I don't take investment advice from some day-trading conartist who practices "market timing". It is foolish to assume that past market performance is a predictor of future market trends. Unfortunately, there are many gullible people who are suckers for that "easy money" crap, just like they think they can anaylze the statistics to "beat the odds" in Vegas.

Wise investors would be much better off adhering to the fundamental principles of value investing than falling for that "market timing" crap.

You display your ignorance yet once more. I am almost exclusively a volatility arbitrageur, not a "market timer". Indeed, at the moment, I have exactly 1 position on in which mkt directionality is important.

Doubtless I shall now get a lecture from you on why arbing vols is an unsatisfactory investment technique, notwithstanding of course that you haven't the first clue as to what is involved in such arbitrage.
