“If you’re wrong, you’re spectacularly wrong.”

Seems like that’s the theme of this subreddit. A chance at chasing spectacular gains for spectacular losses.

Good on you for such tight risk management. That’s what separates you from the rest and preserving your fairly sizable capital.

Thanks! I received a compliment from a friend that it’s impressive even though I basically matched the index, because my volatility was so much lower.

Honestly also I hold a ton of cash. So basically, the non-cash positions I held have massively beat the index, and the cash acted as a drag. But, like you say, risk management, I like having the cash, it leads to lower volatility and gives me more options.
