Firstly, some context before I res[pond to your comments; After 20 years of watching "Professionals" ( Portfolio Managers) consistently lose my money, I decided I couldn't do any worse. So as a retail trader with 15 years experience , I have now become very cautious ,particularly on the S&PTSX. IN my opinion, a retail trader stands no chance in a low liquidity market- JUST TOO EASY TO MANIPULATE. Wall St corruption, The incompetence of the SEC ( Does Ont have a Regulatory Body? - Seldom hear from them, the Flash Crash ( I did not lose one cent but it sure shook my confidence.<br />So what to do? Answer: Step Aside if you believe the market IS NOT Fair, Free or Stable.<br /><br />So I prefer to casll it a lack of confidence, based on years of trading in the trenches. Not FEAR Bill.<br /><br />So I trust you distinguish "investment sheep" from some traders that have the descipline to Step Aside.<br /><br />Always appreciate your bligs and articles.

Flash crash in May 2010 illustrates what can still happen even though the market appears to be "stable"chrispycrunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508448472827541229noreply@blogger.com
