Thanks. Very true, becoz our money is on the line.

Never heard of the travelling trader. Will check it out. I used to subscribe to Dan Fitzpatrick about 3 years ago. He's quite good: not a fundamental guy but more a TA guy. He and Scott are on X. I think I will follow him now. Haven't listen to his tips for more than 3 years now.

I am not a trader. I buy and hodl. Just by doing simple buy and hodl I already 4x some of my investment. No trading involved.

Just wonder hold since when for your 4x return?

I started 2022. So far only google i hold is more than 100% (103%).

Actually you were the one who “inspire” me to bought google that time, before split. You mention about easier to do option, so i follow your advise and bought 1.

Thanks.

Crowdstrike is my only 4x
I got lots of 2-3x. The trick is BTFD. If it dips keep buying. Don't be scared. Keep buying. Keep buying the falling knife. It's ok you will cut your hand. It's normal. Keep buying as wealth is build in a red market.

Seems like Sept is the best month for buy and hold investors this year.

wah... can share a bit what you mean by survive 7th april margin call?
as in your broker sent you a margin call notice but before you can take action, market rebounded?
or you managed to reduce some of your exposure or throw some cash in?

me curious cos whole life (touch wood) never experience before while did read abt it... just wondering abt the process.

nothing dramatic.
I just got self panicked when my "Excess Liquidity" dropped to 25% of my asset value

Margin call actually occurred automatically when Excess Liquidity lower than zero. At that time, some or all your position will be automatically liquidated.

Ah ok. Are you using interactive broker? Cos the terms seems similar...

That's the scary part. Margin call automatically reduce one's position. Some more no time to react or decide what to cut.

I am using Tiger

Excess Liquidity is a common term. All brokers uses it

The key part is reduce some position before Excess Liquidity hits zero.

Tiger uses IBKR as their backend.

So far buy and hold good quality stock is the only way for me.

Ive burn through 3 options trading account and a crypto account, all trade till it goes to zero. The big wins sort of created a euphoric sensation that developed a gambling addiction for me. So i always ring fence my addiction with a new funded account separated from my main portfolio.

Portfolio that is based on buffett and peter lynch strategy. They were the OG, i feel we have it easier now as compared to them after QE was introduced in 08. Not sure how long the party will last.

That looks impressive: 1,320% gain on your portfolio since inception.

Twr strips out money flow variables.

Mwr will involve a little bit of timing the market. Eg, if i feel now spy is frothy i wont put money into the market as compared maybe during the april tariff blood letting period.

That's why I say buy and hodl. Let your winners run. Don't trade.
