@ludmila is a trader, not an investor.
Thanks. Trader Vic always said the most money is made trading the intermediate trend, in the long term we are all dead. So if I go long or short a stock, futures contract or Forex, and my trade is successful, I can make huge profits in days, more than an investor will or will not make in a year, then i look for the next trade. Last week I shorted 3 futures palladium contracts and I stayed in the trade for 3 days and palladium lost over $200 in 2 days, over a $20000 profit per contract.
Today I went long bit coin futures , they are up like a $1000 in a 24 hour period, now over $5000 , I am about to sell and get out since I am not a believer .
