My main goal, the first thing I'm going to start out with is risk control, capital preservation.

And the best way to get that is, you know, obviously with a good system, with a stop loss and

training stops, but also with longs and shorts. I'm not really that concerned about the market in general when I'm

trading these individual names. It gives me so much diversification. And yeah, the market is probably

not as strong. In 2013, this basically same portfolio of stocks, I was probably long, 95% of them.

And, you know, the drawdown was hell. It was bad. And so I made a lot of stocks, I was probably long, 95% of them. And the drawdown was hell.

It was bad.

I made a lot of money, but also gave a lot back.

So I'm not going to just ipso facto say, oh, this is a bummer that the market in general

is not that strong because I can see underneath the hood and see, yeah, it's not that

strong because a lot of the stocks are not in a big up trend like the fangs. There's pros and cons.

And it's kind of funny that coming from non-system traders or trend traders, they're very interested

in the trends of all these markets. Why do you think that is? I mean, that's a interesting observation.

What do you think they want to achieve by, in a sense, questioning the rally because of lack of breath?

I mean...

I think they missed it.

Yeah.

Their system value or fundamental is not going to keep them in a trend when it looks stupid.

You know, the CTAs are the ones who are going to keep long in the stock market for no good reason other than it's going up.

As interest rates approach zero, we're the only ones are going to stay long, the

bonds and the interest rates, just because it's in an up trend. When crude goes from 90 to in the

20s, you know, who would still stay short that? Who was expecting that? So this is one of the benefits
