"...cashed out at 2k lost. But whenever the prices stops dropping 1% here and there, I will be buying back in but in theory il have more shares for my money. So why doesn’t everyone do that? It’s a plan."
Srob1968,
If everyone would sell at the same time (with the bearish alert from 48-46ish, the Sp would have crashed to pieces.
You always need a large majority who keeps holding, otherwise the swing trades dont work. Actually one needs to be thankful, for large, yearlong holders who kept holding since 49p.
No advice meant of course.
If you decide to swing trade, thats up to you.
Quite a number of private investors in the UK or here on the continent live on that.
But thats very time consuming, so that you cant really do it while running a truck company, right? :)) Furthermore the trading station is quite costly:

Not to mention the capital to start with!
And you will need nerves of steel. Might not be such a good idea to start out in advanced years, when your just ten years away from pension. People are meant to derisk in later years, save the remaining capital, and take it easy once you're 60 or 65, right?
