I can’t imagine this is the bottom.

About to fund a significant CRUT, I know they say you can't time the market but damn if this doesn't feel like I'm about to feed the bears.

I'm going to take about 10-12K and start to nibble at small positions of good stocks that have been beaten down.

I need to run some screens...

SPYs opened above the 20 day SMA. Could possibly be the first day where all the price action is above the average since early February.

That's the good news...


QQQs are up against the 20 day SMA and could turn back down.

That's the bad news.

A positive week of price action would go a long way to start taking the down trend out of this market.

Interesting article- stock pickers consistently can’t beat the S&P.

Last year was a great one for the U.S. stock market. It was another disappointment for most stock-picking fund managers. https://t.co/gEgSHX7dvC

I've come to the conclusion that a big part of this is the massive tech stocks that are so heavily weighted. The only way to beat the S&P for the past several years is to overweight yourself in the FAANGs, which goes against the traditional strategy of diversification. You're either diversified and underperforming the index, or you're overweighted and hoping that none of those stocks melts down.

Most people can't outperform the market most of the time.

I read a book that went back and quantified all the expert predictions, etc., and it was like an 80% fail rate.

I mean unless you do a shit ton of research and understand what you are actually reading, and then concentrate your holdings and then hold them for a long period of time, then I agree, index funds and ETFs.

Most say 90%+ fail rate on individual investors beating the market.
