Ork:

Me too! Got started a bit too "early" as is usually the case at this end, and have been forced to box some positions. I have been fortunate that one or two of my "mortally wounded" types have continued their death spirals.

This sure isn't a market for the faint-of-heart, especially if one is wearing a Darth Vader cape and mask. Unfortunately, the darned thing could just do a "Peter Pan" dive over some trivial piece of news and if one is on the sidelines, there will be no pay-day. I tend to carry a couple of "core" positions, even when I think things will be bullish for a while, just in case.

Best, Earlie

Perhaps even more important than not buying things on the way down

(Such law I often break as I am a great falling knife catcher),

is do not short things while they are going up
