Still ugly since all fixed income and cash for the month.... -18.17% through April 30. Watching and waiting.
more of the same. Interesting in that with so little equities when I update prices in Quicken hardly anything changes... new experience for me.
What I've been told it's all baked in. Good news, bad news, horrible news, baked. [emoji848]If someone would have said to me in January that a global pandemic was coming that would soon cause Great Depression-like unemployment; and if they’d come back in late March to say that stock market prices would soon be nearly back to level for the year to date in late May, well, I’d have suggested that person should sober up and lay off the wacky tobacky. 2020 just goes to show, nobody knows nuthin.
No thrill of victory or agony of defeat!!Do you like it this way? I think I would miss the thrills of victories too much to stop playing.
But my decisions now are only changing what my kids will eventually get.

Up 4.49% ytd. Portfolio 8/92.
Primary reason for positive number is due to successful daytrading. [emoji15] Volatility is a daytrader's dream. Hope going forward we have lots of volatility. Up or down it doesn't matter as I play both sides.
If I understand, you’re an avid day trader whose AA is 8% stocks right now and you’re up 4.49% ytd. I guess that’s entertainment for you but not as lucrative as if you’d simply bought and held for 2020 the 100% US Total bond index, which is up 5.59% for the year.
But the potential for a big win, the thrill, is not there for buy & hold. I understand. I made 90k in 4 days on what sure seemed an obvious sure bet, and it was. Big thrill.
Down 5% YTD. Not great but an improvement from -17% as of 3/31/20.
