Have you basically become a day trader now? It’s an honest question.
Dougie Kass
just now
absolutely not
when i am wrong as rain on the market, i trade much more actively to hit the cash register – since i dont want to have much long exposure — i typically do this with the indices… so you see all my index trades
i always trade around longs and shorts – always
you see my day/trade/transactional stuff because, well because i am transparent – holds are holds , trades you see as it is transactional
on the short side (as i have been bearish) i have held more than 15 positions for years
i would much prefer catching a primary trend (down or up) and just hold… so much easier.
