Ok. Whatever. I make my living in the markets. I literally am in front of a trading computer every day the markets are open. I watch Twiiter feeds and how the markets react and trade SPY/QQQ puts and calls (strangles and straddles) accordingly). I’ve watched a perfectly green market tank on a Trump tweet, and I watched a recovering market drop 2% on a tweet (like yesterday). Our trading team worked puts and shorts (and TVIX) into our strategy for the fall-and especially December and it had zero to do with the election. But you’re the genius.

You only lose in the market when you sell at a lower price than you bought.

I've been "letting it ride" in the markets since 1982. On paper, I am very wealthy. I have sold very little stock since then. Almost always buying. When stocks drop, it's actually good for me because dollar cost averaging allows me to buy additional stocks at a lower price. Then I ride them back up.
