” There is only one side of the market and it is not the bull side or the bear side, but the right side .” – Jesse Livermore
-
Be a bear in a bull market.
-
Keep shorting a bull market and see what happens. LOSSES.
-
Wait for a deep pull back that never comes as the market goes higher and higher each day. Then chase at the end of the move.
-
Buy puts and sell them for a loss over and over.
-
Keep betting on a market meltdown as the indexes make all time highs over and over again.
-
Buy $VXX $TVIX and $UVXY and see what happens. LOSSES.
-
If your trading plan is the “the market just can’t go higher” you’re going to have a bad time.
-
Short in the hole right at resistance. The bounces are brutal.
-
Have a bearish opinion, keep a bearish opinion, trade a bearish opinion.
-
Being a stubborn perma-bull instead of a flexible trader.
