I'm too young to have experienced a multi-year bear market. If that is where we are headed it will have been wise to try and time your exit. Imagine 5 to 7 years of constant lower highs and lower low's. Most people who are retired today got the advantage of very long bull runs with very fast bear creash recoveries. If I was not a stock picker but a "long term investor" I would be in all cash vs. buying the "dip" in this market. That's just me. I think the highs in the S&P are in.

Unless of course you start posting "nailed it" posts after the fact for fictitious trades like our resident clowns. I don't know about you but my first buy in many,many years, of all my oil stocks was in 2020. Every one of them went sideways at best for months. Ever notice the "easy money" in hindsight was really really not easy at the time? Good luck. Maybe next week you will have amassed a mass fortuna.

I still hold some tech names like LSPD as I can't see that going too much further, the talk of a rally, talk of inflation already peaked and yadda yadda yadda. It gave me a wad of cash to reinvest in other sectors such as O&G. I added to my holdings but I decided to play the the "earnings" game just to see if I can increase my total cash. I expect oil to climb from about $101 and I was right HOWEVER every O&G company I have transferred into has dropped after earnings. Ath? dropped, Obe? dropped. Gxe? dropped. Bte? dropped. And today Sgy? down 5%. So I sold Sgy now and put the money in NVA which reports on Tuesday and will move to CJ.

Keep in mind that I hold these stocks and still hold all of them. I just sold the cash that I had ready to deploy from my Tech holdings. So with oil up about 10%, I am actually down about 8% total. Nice eh? I will continue this experiment next week and tell you the end result BUT lesson learned...
