And? What's your point? Who cares.

No one lets taxes dictate investing decisions. That's stupid. You pay the tax bill and move on. Big whoop.

I'll try again with something else tomorrow.

Now that's a fact.

I'm the 1k PP. I clarified that my goal is not to realize 1k a day, but for ytd gains to be 1k a day. For instance, today is the 26th day of the year. YTD today, I am up 29k in my play account. Some days I have one stock that goes up 1k in a day - hello gamestop. Some days 5 of my holdings go up 200 each. Sometimes I realize the gain and get in something new. Sometimes I ride it up farther and set a stop loss. Some days I'm down 1k. But overall over the portfolio I've chosen and trade in and out of, the goal is 1k a day.

Can’t wait when the market turns on you and you will be begging to keep your portfolio net positive. It’s coming baby

Ok.... I guess all my stop losses will get triggered and I'll buy puts. Just because the market goes down doesn't mean every stock is down every day. But, thanks for rooting for people to do poorly and lose money. I'm sure your investment strategy works great for you and I wish you lots of gains.

Don't listen to that poster, not sure why she got jealous all of a sudden. Like I said, her investments must be going up too I should think.

I wouldn't touch puts.

Unless you are pumping and dumping with them.

All you have to do is make a mad dash for the chairs when the music stops and make sure you're not the one left standing. Not trivial, but there are worse investment strategies, like the dude who posted a thread earlier looking for penny stock recommendations.
