I switched to swing trading and I'm as RED as everyone because I didn't look at the market for 2+ weeks. In hindsight, I should have exited the market then I would be plus 15%. Looking at it yesterday, my 2020 profits are gone and some 2019 because the stocks I was holding was all tech.
No worries...what goes up must come down and what goes down must come up. Needless to say, don't torment yourself. Keep 6 months of cash under your bed (bank account), have no debt, and you cool as ice.
Once I have clarity and focus I'll day trade. Had I been day trading these would have been the virus stocks I normally trade, CODX, OPGN, NNVC, VXRT, APT, etc... all ran this week. You could have in and out for 1-15 minutes depending on the price action and made loot...knowing this, I didn't feel like trading this week because the rule is trade with a clear mind. Too much bullshit around me, which is why I stopped active day trading.
I might trade next week, but unlikely...rig ht now 70% stocks, and will probably shift to 100% stock in by the end of the week for the upswing. I normally hold 50% stock max so I did dip buy this week and increased it to 70%.
Nothing to panic...cash is trash, and being printed...nowh ere to put your money. everyone holding too much cash will regret it later.
