BP, VZ, AGNC, ARR, TWO, FTR, FSC, PSEC. Recently sold AGNC, BMY, FTR, PSEC, WFE-PRA.
This is just since the first of the year. This is way more trading then I intended this year, but the yoyo market insists on giving me money. What can I say?

Go to bogleheads.org for real advice. This is a motor oil site
in a nutshell - you want to replicate the total stock market, in the cheapest way (fees) possible. Decide your AA (asset allocation), for how much risk you can and need to take, and, most importantly, stick to your plan.

In my Vanguard Flagship account VTI is a major holding at a very low cost.
VTSAX is the mutual fund that mirrors VTI ETF.
My 401K with Fidelity has lower fees than Vanguard.

They always say it when the market is up. I remember back in '96 they were saying this and the market kept going up for another 4 years before it finally crashed. But it never crashed back to 96 levels and I think the people who got out never got back in at the right time so you're better off leaving it in unless you have an immediate need for the money.

You guys are confusing Crash with Correction. I Buy when the market is oversold so I have minimal downside risk. And Sell when the market is overbought.

That sounds like a losing strategy. Back-testing and/or looking at prior performance is no way to guarantee future results. In fact they have studies that show people flow into funds that have performed well in the past, to only under-perform in the future.
Good luck, though.

So have you outperformed the S&P 500 with that fail-safe strategy?
"Buy low, sell high" - sounds so simple, how hard could it be?

It's all about patience. Have I outperformed the S&P 500? Yes...because I mostly trade SSO. It a 2X the performance of the SP 500.

Where do you all think the market will top out at before a meaningful correction [10% or more] occurs?
The market seems largely impervious to anything at this point so I'd assume a meaningful correction would occur when the critical mass of clarity on policies, bad news, and other factors including the Fed's number of rate hikes come together. That may be longer than conventional wisdom would tell you but I ain't predicting....

Nobody knows....The Markets are at new highs so there's no overhead resistance. I think whats driving the markets higher is the lack of institutional selling and short covering.
