are you me? Although my stock market outing has been very successful. i made my entire yearly salary this week and that is very demotivating to work right now..

Although we are the exception not the rule. My last job had me running around exhausted and I thought being super productive would increase my bonus (narrator: it didn't)

Market timing is a bad idea. Daily gains don't matter.

you know what else is a bad idea? Putting $80k into Virgin Galactic or Tesla calls at strategic moments in time. But I did both and now I'm sitting on more money in my toy account than my actively managed investment account. so maybe YMMV?

and no i don't recommend anyone doing what i did, but basic technical analysis said to sell [or buy puts] last week and with enough time watching markets you will know when an oversold relief rally is due [including mini rallies within overall downtrends]
