Over the long term: Bears sound smart, bulls get rich. Sorry, but the long-term trend of stocks has been very favorable for investors with every dip, correction and crash proving to be a major buying opportunity. There's too much focus on making 20% to 30% on the downside…

@RyanDetrick @C_Barraud I keep seeing this, but question it. In order for it to be true we have to know the bottom. We can't know the bottom until it's in hindsight. take the 07 to 09 stretch. $SPX fell 20%+ to its low in March 2008, reclaimed half the losses, then bottomed a year later.

@TradingComposur Years and years ago, I wish I knew that. It's not a moving average or an indicator or a volume profile that brings the results. It's all upstairs - in your head. You need a strategy, of course, and risk management parameters. But the "mental" is so often overlooked...

@SethCL But that is assuming we know *the low* -- It only works in hindsight. For instance, if we thought the low was in in Q1, the $SPX reclaimed the 50% retrace, then failed. If you need an actual "bear market" (assuming 20% correction, but another discussion) SPX also failed in '08

A weekly view of $TSLA. wonderful undercut of the prior low and recovery. Tonight we'll find out if it has legs or if it falters. Legs: $250 to $255 in play. No Legs: Sub-$200, then $182 to $192.

Hardly a panic out there. $VIX well below last week's high NYSE volume is actually in favor of advances not declines and Nasdaq volume isn't all that bad even though $QQQ might make you think so.

$SPY $SPX - Obviously investors are pretty pumped about the recent rally to ATHs & up 10 in a row But it would be healthy and constructive to see a dip from here. Specifically, a pullback into the $520 to $525 area -- the prior ATH zone -- would be great IMO Agree or disagree?

@OphirGottlieb Even $DIS investors know it. Stock up even on park closures news too. Investors are turning from "the world is ending" to "good, let's get this over with and move forward." That's step 1. Doesn't mean the low is in, but it's a start.

This was actually a big beneficiary for me! Helps tune out the noise and just focus on a few stocks and trade them based on what they are doing. Even now, I still keep my PnL minimized throughout the day.

One small tip i like to give traders who are struggling or battling this two headed beast: Is to NOT look or trade your PnL during the day! Minimize the PnL box/screen... and only look at the price action of your stock(s). Trade only what's happening in the stock, not the PnL
