You seem to be doing the opposite.

someone could have used that logic to avoid TSLA when it was at $50 Not that he is wrong, but heeding aphorisms is not that useful in terms of making money.

Yup, exactly. There is such thing as momentum trading.

Most of my positions were already closed out last month. So all the above thesis’ that said I was doing the wrong thing were.... wrong.

I also have significant positions that are DCA boring stuff, angel investments, real estate, all across the board. As well as I do a lot of selling premium in the options markets (theta gang).

It’s funny how folks are quick to lecture... :)
