Traders count points and investors look at percentages. The YTD moves will show that Trader's have the advantage over investor's as we can make moves in 2 directions vs 1. In todays Long only investment product world, the investor is hoping the markets rise as the trader can moves in either direction.
The January to March drop was very profitable for the trader that was shorting. The March lift was or presented opportunities for both (investor & trader). The then preceding decline to YTD lows was another advantage for the trader. This is also playing out again with the next lift and now drop. The Overnight is also an added opportunity for the trader.
The point is that points are true and percentages are not. A 50% drop will need a 100% retracement to get back to even. The point action (dual direction) is simple math and not skewed, like the previous % example. Stay with trading and improve your skills. Trading was the original investment model and was watered down with by the product vendors, indexer's and the like. These (trading poser's) can not generate the gains of the (doer) trader. Trader's can execute decisions in either direction and multiple times in a day. Investor's execute decisions over much longer time frames. The execution is the key and only skill set that matters. Doer's (don't talk) do, poser's (don't do) talk. Be the doer TRADER and keep executing.
