Of course you can! I think you're more likely to drive that baby into ground unless you make an adjustment to your performance, but almost anything is possible in the markets...

After Friday's trading day, I went all in on SQQQ. What do you think

I dont blame u. It was pretty intense selling in the last hour. I wouldn't be surprised to see it continue thru next week if everybody's taking profits.

I never go all in on 1 play at a time though.

I'm still in TQQQ from Wednesday. RSI was bananas Friday. That Powel meeting is coming up however last time stocks went up until just before he spoke and than plummeted. I'm not sure if a 25 BPS increase will be enough to see that again.

Also, glad to see someone playing the TQQQ and SQQQ game. A perfect sell on one is a perfect buy on the other. Usually, TQQQ is the right choice since markets usually go up but lately SQQQ has been crazy.

Actually the distribution of green and red days is almost 50% so the odds of having an up or down day is almost even if you're out before close, fun fact.

Switch to yearly and look at Sqqq in 2022, but tqqq every other year.

You are correct, but if you were to sell tqqq at each high point to buy sqqq and vice versa, you'd be in tqqq a lot longer.

I have 5 2/17 50 calls. I think JPOW will say enough for it to work before then. I may roll them to March.

If you really think the market is due for a crash, don't short anything. Just wait for the crash and pick up cheap, high-quality companies after it happens. I promise you this is a much more profitable strategy on average. In the meantime just hold short term bonds.

This is way more boring than shorting, I agree. But it's a lot easier to make money on the long side than the short side. Look at anyone who bought META at $90 a couple of months ago. They nearly doubled already.

You're buying something that decays. Going all in on anything that decays is just pure reckless gambling.

Back to even yes but it’ll take years. You literally need a 100% gain to recover. Just sit and wait.

I've been buying straddles /puts and calls otm and that's been helping me recover my loss. The market moves enough to make one of them +100% or more and everything else is gravy. This isn't investment advice.
